"As smartphone penetration reaches 35% in the U.S., MMS remains a viable platform for brands and marketers to deliver rich media to their consumers without having to download massive amounts of data or deal with the hassle of poor signal strength to buffer streaming feeds," said James Citron, CEO, Mogreet. "It is evident by the growth in last quarter's iPhone mobile video messaging views that feature phone and smartphone users are increasingly looking to consume video, pictures and audio on their devices. By leveraging MMS, digital marketers can reach their entire consumer base regardless of handset type, and supply them with personalized video content that increases consumer loyalty, engagement and responsiveness."

The metrics tracked by Mogreet's platform are used by clients to improve their marketing effectiveness and reach. These include data such as regional hotspots (retailers can tailor offers to users in a specific geographic area), application development priorities (if a critical mass of their customers are using Android phones over iPhones, they may choose to develop Android apps first), and many other valuable drivers.

It is a cross-carrier solution that can deliver mobile video to more than 290 million mobile subscribers in the U.S. and more than 2 billion consumers globally across more than 175 countries.
