Adfonic Global AdMetrics Report reveals strongest performance across mobile games channel
Report based on tens of billions of monthly ad requests
NEW YORK, May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Adfonic, the global mobile advertising marketplace, today releases its first Global AdMetrics Report, drawing data from nearly ten thousand advertising campaigns, spanning ten thousand mobile sites and apps, during the first quarter of 2012.
Key among the findings of the report, which highlights Adfonic's diverse reach across all regions, platforms, device types and vertical channels, is the strength of the mobile games channel. In line with wider industry trends which demonstrate the popularity of gaming apps, games inventory represents almost a third of the total advertising inventory across Adfonic's global network and consistently delivers the highest CTRs (click through rates) and eCPMs (effective cost per thousand impressions) across all mobile platforms.
With data broken down into territories, the Global AdMetrics Report looks at a broad range of channels including entertainment, games, lifestyle, news and social networking; platforms including Android, iOS, RIM, Symbian and Windows; and many smartphone and tablet devices. The Global AdMetrics Report is available from Adfonic's website at http://adfonic.com/news/reports/.
The large volume of data on which the Global AdMetrics report is based enables Adfonic to extract meaningful insights into the drivers of global business performance on mobile platforms. By analyzing data at a global scale, and breaking this down by region, platform, channel and device, the Global AdMetrics Report helps Adfonic's advertisers and publishers to plan and deploy their mobile strategies more effectively. The data is also being used to drive increased levels of performance, as Adfonic's algorithms optimally match advertisers and publishers and maximize the value created for both.
Paul Childs, Adfonic Chief Marketing Officer and Co-Founder, said: "The Global AdMetrics report enables us to share insights to support advertisers and publishers in driving the most value from mobile advertising by making educated decisions when considering platforms, channels or geographies."
He continued: "The reach and performance of the games channel in particular, represents a significant opportunity for app developers to generate revenue from mobile advertising. The higher CTRs that we are seeing within this channel are indicative of the greater propensity of consumers to click on mobile ads whilst interacting with apps and sites in their leisure time."
Further highlights within the report include a focus on Android tablet versus smartphone performance in the US, which reveals a 36% higher CTR on tablet devices. In particular the Android-powered Kindle Fire is taking off with a significant 13% share of advertising inventory and the highest CTR of all formats.
