As more brands and businesses adopt both content marketing and native advertising as an integral part of their marketing plans, this partnership provides a unique opportunity for users to learn about great products through stories they care about and enjoy—the key mission of InMobi's discovery commerce platform, Miip.
Taboola’s current network, which already reaches more U.S. desktop users than Facebook according to comScore, will significantly expand as a result of the partnership with InMobi, enabling brands and marketers to reach an untapped market of over one billion premium mobile consumers across 200 countries.
“We have been moving towards a native-first mobile advertising world which provides a more customized user experience and improved performance rates,” said Naveen Tewari, cofounder and CEO of InMobi. “Our partnership with Taboola is a direct extension of our mission to create non-disruptive content discovery experiences, and we’re thrilled to leverage Taboola’s high-quality content and predictive technology.”
Taboola’s advanced mathematical engine analyzes hundreds of signals including device, geography, behavior, collaborative filtering, and social media trends to predict what content a user may most want to consume next. Mobile remains a vital part of Taboola’s business, with over 50 percent of the company’s revenue coming directly from mobile traffic.
“The web is shifting from mobile-first to mobile-only. Marketers are looking for new and innovative ways to reach consumers at scale, especially in mobile, and storytelling is the most powerful method of connecting with individuals on an emotional level,” said Adam Singolda, founder and CEO of Taboola. “We’re excited to merge our many years of experience recommending personalized content with InMobi’s global network of native mobile apps to further drive engagement, brand awareness, and ultimately—action.”
