Dulles, Virginia - (Website Hosting Directory) - May 16, 2007 - AOL has announced that it will expand Advertising.com’s Mobile Services, with its acquisition of Third Screen Media, and its mobile advertising and ad-serving management platform. Third Screen Media will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AOL’s Advertising.com division.

Randy Falco, Chairman and CEO of AOL explained, ‘’AOL is one of only four at-scale advertising businesses on the Internet, and the acquisition of Third Screen Media gives us a very strong position in the fast-growing mobile space. It also lets us offer advertisers a more complete set of solutions, from display advertising to search and now a superior set of mobile solutions.'’

Third Screen Media will continue to be headquartered in Boston. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Third Screen Media connects advertisers, publishers and mobile phone carriers on a common platform, allowing ads to be managed and delivered via WAP, downloadable applications, SMS, MMS and mobile video. Dozens of leading brand advertisers, more than a hundred mobile Web publishers, and major wireless carriers participate in the Third Screen Media network.

Lynda Clarizio, President of Advertising.com added, ‘’Advertising.com has always set itself apart through our award-winning technologies, our industry-leading display advertising network and our comprehensive suite of solutions. Third Screen Media is the perfect complement to these core differentiators, offering the same unique advantages in the mobile marketplace. From display advertising to video advertising to mobile advertising, this acquisition firmly positions Advertising.com as the one-stop shop for online advertisers and publishers.'’

The acquisition comes as the mobile advertising industry is growing exponentially. In the U.S., mobile advertising is expected to grow from $421 million in 2006 to $4.7 billion by 2011, while globally the market is expected to increase to $11.3 billion by the same year, according to eMarketer.

Thomas Burgess, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Third Screen Media added, ‘’This acquisition brings together two pioneers in the interactive advertising space. Advertising.com has long been the advertising network to watch, and Third Screen Media broke new ground in the mobile advertising space with our pioneering technology and industry-leading mobile network. Together, we can now offer advertisers and publishers a comprehensive suite of interactive advertising solutions for every type of device, platform and program.'’
