Greystripe Launches New Mobile Advertisements With Social Media Integration, Local Content and Deals
Today Greystripe, the largest brand-focused mobile ad network and part of the ValueClick family (Nasdaq: VCLK), is introducing the next generation of mobile advertising with its new Ad Boosters. These new ad units were developed with the goal of making advertising more relevant, contextual and valuable to consumers.
Greystripe has developed two types of Ad Boosters: industry-focused units and social units. With its industry-focused ad boosters, Greystripe is the first company to introduce mobile ad formats focused on a specific, targeted vertical. Verticals include: retail, consumer packaged goods, automotive, travel, technology, health and restaurants. These customizable boosters allow advertisers to direct users to specific actions related to the advertiser’s need. The retail booster, for example, includes a Find Store button, a Coupon button and a Buy Now button.
Social Boosters allow marketers to enhance the impact of mobile advertising with engaging social connections including Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and YouTube.
Ad Boosters are fully customizable and can include buttons for the following click-to-actions, as well as many more:
-
Facebook

YouTube
-

“Today’s consumer engages through mobile and social channels. Our Ad Boosters deliver a tailored brand experience for consumers on their mobile devices, bringing them closer to the products and services they love,” said Dane Holewinski, director of marketing for Greystripe. “For advertisers, Ad Boosters drive greater brand lift and higher post-click value by providing users with choices in how they engage with a brand.”
"Mobile and social are demanding an ever increasing share of people’s mindshare. Marketers have found both of these effective ways to communicate with their target customers. By providing both industry-focused and social ad boosters, Greystripe has clearly created a win-win for both users and advertisers," said Vikrant Gandhi, senior industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan.
In addition to the Booster Buttons, Greystripe’s Ad Boosters provide an additional branded image to make full use of the smartphone screen. The 300x100 image, typically a logo, at the top of the screen allows the advertiser to reinforce the brand, and allow the 300x250 core ad unit to focus on key campaign messaging.
