Crisp Wireless has teamed up with
Verve Wireless “to bring Crisp’s rich media mobile ads to Verve’s global local media and newspapers.” Verve develops and hosts the mobile sites for more than 700 newspapers in North America and Europe.
Quattro Wireless started out building mobile websites for companies and then became an ad network. The rest is, as they say, history (Apple). Similarly Verve is effectively now a local ad network that will offer a range of ad unit types and capabilities to marketers and publishers via Crisp. According to the
release:
Verve publishers will utilize Crisp’s ad formats and interactive features, such as location-aware and click-to-call, and will have capabilities to deliver campaigns to smartphones and tablets, including Google Android devices and Apple’s iPhone and iPad.
Verve is one of several mobile ad networks and exchanges targeting the local market specifically:
- CityGrid
- Chitika
- Local AdXchange
- LSN Mobile
- Verve
- Where
Of course the traditional ad networks for mobile (e.g., JumpTap, Millennial, Yahoo, Google/AdMob) also offer geo-targeting as well.
