Cricinfo.com, the World's Leading Cricket Web Site, Taps AdMob as Mobile Ads Provider
SAN MATEO, Calif. & LONDON (BusinessWire EON) September 12, 2007 -- Key markets for Cricinfo include India, North America, the UK, Australia and other cricket playing nations. "Cricket is a sport that lends itself perfectly to mobile coverage," said Anil Nair, Head, Wireless Media, Cricinfo. "The length of time over which the game is played means many consumers cannot watch broadcasts of entire matches and want anytime, anywhere access to the latest news and results."
AdMob will serve ads on Cricinfo pages, connecting its advertiser base of hundreds of brands to the Cricinfo demographic. In August, AdMob served over 350 million ads in India alone across its network of over 2,000 mobile Web publishers. AdMob serves both global and market-specific advertisers, offering industry-leading ad targeting.
Cricinfo launched ads with AdMob just in time for the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa, which is expected to draw millions of fans searching for information via their mobile devices from around the world. Mobile Web users visit Cricinfo for up-to-date match scores, schedules, results and more.
"The challenge is reaching our five core geographic markets of India, North America, the UK, Australia and South Africa with a relevant and effective advertising campaign that truly reaches cricket fans," Nair said. "The AdMob Marketplace has proven to be effective at filling ad inventory with quality advertisers worldwide and we are excited to be working with them."
Acquired by ESPN in June of this year, Cricinfo reaches seven million cricket fans each month, with a core male audience 18 and older, and is the world's leading resource for cricket entertainment and information. With the majority of the sport's fans residing in India, North America, the UK, Australia and South Africa, the Web site sought the services of AdMob to target specific geographic markets more effectively.
"Cricinfo has a worldwide following of users who are passionate, and hungry for score updates, match reports, and all the other buzz that will swirl around events like the Twenty20 Tourney," said Niren Hiro, Vice President, Business Development, of AdMob. "This is a great example of how the global strength and reach of our network can be used by an international brand like Cricinfo to monetize its audience locally."
