IAB Analysis Shows Travel-Seeking Audience Spending More Time Online & Having Stronger Mobile Usage Habits Than Average Americans

IAB Releases MRAID 2.0 for Public Comment: Updated ‘Mobile-Rich Media Ad Interface Definitions’ Propels the Mobile Ad Serving Ecosystem Forward

MRAID 2.0, released today for public comment, creates a platform for mobile advertising to flourish by building on the prior version and expanding these definitions to a wider set of features and capabilities.
