StratosHear has expanded its mobile advertising offerings from rich audio advertising to include mobile Internet ad formats—such as banner, video and text—and has emerged as the one-stop solution for all advertisers embracing the mobile medium.

StratosHear has experience working with telecom operators with its AdRBT product that delivers radio-style ad placement on caller tunes. The company has leveraged this experience in designing MobiAdz from the ground up. Furthermore, they have incorporated artificial intelligence—or self-learning—into the proprietary algorithms that power MobiAdz and that are used to ensure optimal ad targeting and strong campaign results.

MobiAdz helps advertisers reach their target audience on mobile devices effectively and gives mobile publishers the ability to generate revenue from the consumer traffic. MobiAdz works with publishers and advertisers to provide them with the tools and analytics necessary for optimal campaign performance.
