Ando Media and AirKast Partner to Deliver the First Fully Integrated Mobile Media Platform

PROVIDENCE, R.I., July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Ando Media, LLC, the leading ad serving and measurement platform for broadcast media, and AirKast, Inc., a mobile media software provider, announces a partnership to provide broadcasters with the first fully integrated mobile media platform. This new platform offers a way for broadcasters to create and stream targeted brand and sponsor messages based on the physical location of a mobile device, and track the influence and reach of their ads.

"This partnership enables broadcasters with the ability to extend their reach to a listener's mobile device," said Paul Krasinski, Executive Vice President with Ando Media, LLC. "In addition, this is the only solution on the market today that presents broadcasters with additional revenue opportunities in the emerging world of visual mobile advertising; without investing in additional costly applications.

With the benefit of Ando Media Webcast Metrics, broadcasters can track their ads in real-time.

"We understand the need for radio stations to aggressively pursue the digital channels to extend their brands," said Larry Leung, Chief Executive Officer of AirKast, Inc. "With our joint solution, a radio station can extend their reach from local area to national, or even international listeners."
