AppNexus Announces Milestones In Mobile At Annual New York Summit

NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at the AppNexus New York Summit 2014, the company unveiled the industry's first mobile app that allows publishers to monitor in-app ad quality, in real-time, directly from their mobile devices.

"As publishers continue to increase the number of demand sources monetizing their mobile inventory, it becomes a larger challenge to manage ad creative quality," said Arel Lidow, Senior Director, Product Management, AppNexus.  "As a leader in mobile ad technology, AppNexus strives to provide innovative mobile tools, such as the new Insight app, to sophisticated sellers who need consistent oversight of their in-app experiences for users."

AppNexus has long provided publishers with a broad range of tools on the AppNexus Console to ensure they offer the highest quality environments on both their web and mobile properties. For the first time, publishers can now view live ad creative directly in-app and monitor related information on the same mobile device where the ad just ran.  If desired, users can also ban (or un-ban) a creative or brand directly from the app. The app also allows users to share their actions via email or other channels, enabling on-the-go collaboration with colleagues or partners.

"Thanks to the new AppNexus Insight app, we have been able to monitor the quality of ads delivered to our premium publishers in real-time.  We use it on a daily basis," said Edouard Brunet, Revenue Manager at Audience Square. "The ability to see all the bids for one impression from our mobile devices is a very powerful tool when it comes to driving more revenue. "

The type of ad data available on the AppNexus Insight mobile app includes: date/time; buyer; seller; placement; ad profile; audit status; auction ID; user ID; size; language; winning price; currency; number of bids; media type and more. The app is available on both Android and the iPhone and iPad.
