Vserv.mobi launches RTB on its mobile Ad Exchange to lead the programmatic wave across emerging markets

With an aim to empower advertisers and developers, award winning mobile ad exchange, Vserv.mobi today announced the launch of its data-augmented mobile Real Time Bidding (RTB) platform. With this, Vserv.mobi bridges a value gap across emerging markets as it enables RTB for its customers on both the demand and supply side of its exchange. The platform will provide advertisers massive reach while allowing them to selectively target and bid for specific clusters of audience. Additionally, developers in emerging markets gain access to global RTB demand, which maximises their mobile advertising revenues by auctioning each ad request to the highest bidder.

Key capabilities of the RTB platform include:

* Advertisers gain access to high volumes of rich media inventory through real-time, programmatic buying even with minimal to no understanding of the RTB platform

* Advertisers can target desired audience groups and bid only for those specific audience segments

* Access to over 150 000 apps and mobile sites including premium full screen ad inventory to target specific genres and serve ads based on location

* The Vserv bidder connects with its audience targeting platform - AudiencePro and leverages big data capabilities of its exchange for supply forecasting, price landscape and ROI optimisation models

* Developers focused on creating world class apps and leveraging Vserv's monetisation tools like AppWrapper and SDKs across operating systems can now maximise monetisation for their inventory through auctioning each ad request to multiple demand partners from around the globe, including Vserv's direct advertisers

* Supports OpenRTB 2.1 industry standard for seamless integration into both DSPs and SSPs. The platform also supports MRAID compliant Rich Media ads, VAST-enabled video ads and iAB ad specs with category mapping

* Key demand and supply partners already live on the exchange include MoPub, Smaato, Nexage, PocketMath, Lifestreet, Go2mobi among others
