Add2Phone and MCN launch collaboration in Mobile Search Advertising

November 8, 2006 -- Add2Phone and MCN announce a partnership to offer combined products to mobile carriers and service providers. MCN provides its advanced real-time search solution that enables mobile users to search for content and services. Add2Phone provides a mobile advertising system to serve online clickable mobile banners with the mobile search result pages delivered by MCN.

Mobile search is becoming an increasingly popular way of finding content on mobile devices. When there are 10.000 ring tones it is extremely hard for users to find the content they want. Mobile advertising offers an additional revenue stream for mobile search service providers.

Add2Phone and MCN are delivering the integration of mobile search and advertising business models. For advertisers the combination of these models offer new ways to target consumers based on their needs within the mobile space. For example, mobile banners are served onto the DNA WAP site to mobile users as they search it for content such as ring tones, wall papers, games and services. The banners are targeted based on the handset capability, search category and keyword.
