innerActive Partners with Utarget.FOX for Mobile Ad Sales

Tel Aviv, Israel (PRWEB) July 18, 2008 -- innerActive Smart Media (http://www.inner-active.com), a global provider of innovative, ad-funded, entertainment channels, has formed a new partnership with Utarget.FOX (http://www.utarget.co.uk), the global ad network, to sell the in-games inventory on innerActive's channels. Utarget.Fox is the UK's leading Premium Video Advertising Network and part of the Fox International Channels. Utarget.FOX specializes in rich, high-impact formats, such as online video and subsites.

innerActive Smart Media already has commercially launched its ad-funded channels on several Tier One off-deck portals. In June 2008, the company teamed up with Buongiorno (http://www.inner-active.com/dynamic.asp?cid=12883&ttl=str2), the world number one in mobile entertainment, to offer customers free ad-supported content.

"We're delighted that we were able to reach this agreement with Utarget.FOX, as we are well aware of the success it enjoys in the UK internet advertising market and in other countries," says Ziv Elol, Co-CEO of innerActive. "This new partnership represents a major breakthrough for our Ad-funded platform technology, and another important step in our strategy to strength our advertising network in Europe in order to increase the sells of mobile in-content ad packages to leading European brand companies."

"Mobile advertising is brand led. We also find that advertisers are looking for performance and engagement with the target audience," Robert Black, business development director at Utarget. "The new cooperation with innerActive enables us to offer our publishing and advertising partners an ad-funded turnkey solution. This combination of wide reach, strong impact, precision targeting and high response delivers extremely cost-effective mobile advertising campaigns that can promote brands in a very exciting way."
