Cyber Communications partners with GoldSpot Media to provide rich media in Japan

Cyber Communications Inc. has partnered with GoldSpot Media to provide interactive rich media and video services for smartphones and mobile tablets in Japan.

Using the miApp and miSpot services, publishers and advertisers can create and monetize applications across multiple mobile application stores and the mobile Web simultaneously. This allows for a single destination for applications across multiple mobile platforms, the company claims.

?GoldSpot Media is providing turnkey mobile media solutions for app creation, content delivery and monetization using our miApp and miSpot solutions to CCI/Dentsu,? said Srini Dharmaji, founder/CEO of GoldSpot Media, San Francisco.

?Goldspot Media is helping extend Cyber Communications? online dominance in Japan to the mobile smartphone and tablet market,? he said.

Cyber Communications, a subsidiary of Dentsu Inc., is a digital ad network and media representative company.

GoldSpot provides rich media and video advertising services for mobile Web and applications.

Ad services
The services provide drag and drop Web tools and cross-platform support via a combination of handset software and HTML5/Javascript.

Additionally, subscription or ad-supported applications can be created across mobile application stores.

The platform lets publishers and advertisers create their own applications and monetize them.

GoldSpot recently revealed its application monetization strategy. 

The company?s technology delivers campaigns on smartphones and non-connected devices such as offline handsets, the iPod touch and iPad.

GoldSpot renders and downloads the ads and places them on the device while it is connected. The ads then show when the user is offline (see story).

Mobile partnership
GoldSpot claims that the partnership will help it to lead the mobile media revolution for the emerging smartphone and tablet market in Japan and across Asia.

The company is working with Cyber to create advanced mobile media services that simplify the mobile application creation and monetization across devices, application stores and the mobile Web.

The miApp service lets publishers create and test its application and submit it to the application store.

The service has an interactive ad platform that includes application discover ads and rich media ads.

Additionally, publishers have access to live application support, application store approval support and application staging/testing area.

Here is a screen grab of how the service works:

The miSpot end-to-end mobile advertising service manages and delivers non-intrusive, personalized, interactive advertising campaigns across all mobile channels and applications.

The interactive ads are created once and delivered across video/TV, games, mobile Web, widgets and application platforms.

?GoldSpot Media has a lot of deals in the works and we look forward to sharing them with you in the coming months,? Mr. Dharmaji said.
