<p>WALTHAM, Mass. &#8211; Quattro Wireless (www.quattrowireless.com), North America’s premier mobile ad network, announced a strategic relationship with Microsoft Advertising to help advertisers and agencies plan, buy and execute mobile advertising as part of their integrated marketing campaign.</p>

<p>WALTHAM, Mass. &#8211; Quattro Wireless (<a href="http://www.quattrowireless.com" target="_blank">www.quattrowireless.com</a>), North America’s best performing <strong>mobile ad network</strong>, announced a strategic and exclusive partnership with Panasonic to catapult its home-based Link-To-Cell product over mobile devices for their holiday campaign. The campaign, with both publishing services and advertising sales and operations handled by Quattro, is to promote the new Bluetooth-enabled device.</p>
<p>Leading Panasonic into its first mobile opportunity, the consumer electronics company engaged Quattro Wireless to position and market this product over the mobile space as an important component in their online advertising campaign strategy. Panasonic is putting a portion of its Link-to-Cell advertising budget towards mobile marketing, realizing that consumers will be relying heavily on their mobile devices this holiday season while they are comparison shopping on the go.<br />
<span id="more-2043"></span></p>

<p>Panasonic will allow consumers to link directly from their Quattro-built brand destination into mobile commerce powered by Amazon.com. The mobile budget will be invested entirely with Quattro’s unparalleled network of premier publishers and directly with retailers for the promotion.</p>
<p>“Panasonic’s mobile advertising investment for Link-To-Cell is an unprecedented leadership move and Quattro is thrilled to help them realize their vision with publishing services, sophisticated ad-targeting and full-scale ad operations,” said Steven Rosenblatt, VP of Ad Sales of Quattro Wireless. “The launch of this product is perfectly suited for the Quattro Network, with aggregated network traffic almost fifty percent comprised of Bluetooth-enabled smartphones, and is perfectly timed when consumers are using their mobile phones to shop for holiday gifts.”</p>
<p>By leveraging Quattro’s dynamic platform, Panasonic will not only serve the brand-preserved destination built for Link-To-Cell but will launch targeted ad serving of this product to mobile users.</p>
<p>Link-To-Cell, by Panasonic, allows consumers to enjoy a more consistent signal in their homes. You can leave your cell charging where your signal is strongest, link it to the base unit, and make and receive cell phone calls around the house using a more comfortable, great-sounding Panasonic cordless handset.</p>
<p>Quattro Wireless is working with other major consumer electronics companies and retailers during this holiday season to leverage the unique capability of mobile to drive conversion.</p>

Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO), a leading global Internet company, today announced that <strong>Google has terminated the advertising services agreement</strong> the companies announced in June. Yahoo! continues to believe in the benefits of the agreement and is disappointed that Google has elected to withdraw from the agreement rather than defend it in court. Google notified Yahoo! of its refusal to move forward with implementation of the agreement following indication from the Department of Justice that it would seek to block it, despite Yahoo!’s proposed revisions to address the DOJ’s concerns.</p>
<p>While the implementation of the services agreement with Google would have enabled Yahoo! to accelerate its investments in its top business priorities through an infusion of additional operating cash flow, this deal was incremental to Yahoo!’s product roadmap and does not change Yahoo!’s commitment to innovation and growth in search. The fundamental building blocks of a stronger Yahoo! in both sponsored and algorithmic search were put in place independent of the agreement.<br />

<p>Yahoo! continually optimizes its algorithmic and sponsored search, and we have, in 2008 alone, developed and launched hundreds of improvements all designed to enhance search quality and deliver a more relevant search experience to the company’s users. To that end, Yahoo! has benefited from strong revenue per search (RPS) gains in the U.S. as discussed on the Q3 earnings call. Furthermore, Yahoo! continues to make substantial progress against its Open Strategy and in the deployment of its game changing APT from Yahoo! display advertising platform.</p>
<p>Going forward, Yahoo! plans to continue to provide the cutting-edge advances in products, platforms and services that the industry needs and expects, and intends to be the destination of choice for advertisers and publishers who want to reach one of the largest and most engaged populations of consumers on the web.</p>
<p>About Yahoo!</p>
<p>Yahoo! Inc. is a leading global Internet brand and one of the most trafficked Internet destinations worldwide. Yahoo! is focused on powering its communities of users, advertisers, publishers, and developers by creating indispensable experiences built on trust. Yahoo! is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WALTHAM, Mass. &#8211; Quattro Wireless (www.quattrowireless.com), North America’s best performing mobile advertising network, announced the results of a comScore, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCOR) digital marketing intelligence survey about today’s mobile consumer trends. The survey tracked contextual, demographic, behavioral and location information from the Quattro network of premier Publisher mobile web sites for category leading organizations, such as NFL.com, CollegeHumor.com, CBS News, Playboy, and Univision.</p>
<p>Across the Quattro network of premier mobile web sites, the comScore/Quattro Survey found a significant percentage of the audience to be “mobile only” visitors to these brand destinations. This unduplicated mobile audience uses the web daily and visits these sites in particular. The key statistics concluded:<br />
<span id="more-1428"></span></p>
<div style="display:block;float:right;margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;"><!-- PUT THIS TAG IN DESIRED LOCATION OF SLOT Digital_Media_Blog-large_rectangle_runofsite<br />

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
  GA_googleFillSlot("Digital_Media_Blog-large_rectangle_runofsite");
// --></script><br />
<!-- END OF TAG FOR SLOT Digital_Media_Blog-large_rectangle_runofsite<br />
--></div>
<p>36% of respondents indicated that they do not access the companion wired web site of the publishers they visit on the mobile web<br />
46% of the respondents are daily visitors to Quattro Network premier mobile web sites<br />
Furthermore, Quattro’s own Network efficiency study revealed that brand marketers realized an average 2% CTR on targeted campaigns with visitors to advertiser micro-sites averaging 3 page views per visit. The combined results clearly demonstrate that the Quattro Network mobile audience is unique and engaged and that brand marketers are driving ROI through targeted mobile campaigns.</p>
<p>“The survey showcases the viability of the mobile Internet as a strong platform for premium content and premier brands to reach a highly interactive, unique audience – anytime, anywhere,” said Andrew Miller, CEO of Quattro Wireless. “Mobile is measurable media. The Quattro Network is a quality network full of category-leading Publishers with a proven track record of driving ROI for advertisers. The combination of the two gives marketers a strong, cost-effective platform to turn to in these challenging economic times.”</p>
<p>“Consumers are becoming increasingly reliant on their mobile devices for news and information,” said Mark Donovan, senior analyst of comScore Mobile. “This M:Audit study with Quattro confirms the industry’s notion that relative to online, the composition of the mobile web audience is unique and in some cases unduplicated. In all cases, this audience is highly engaged with the medium.”</p>
<p>Quattro Wireless and comScore conducted this survey during seven consecutive weeks in August and September 2008.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Partnership Brings Together Leaders in Mobile Advertising and Location-Based Services to Create Exclusive Advertising Opportunity</p>
<p>BOSTON &#8211; Quattro Wireless (www.quattrowireless.com), North America’s best performing mobile ad network, and uLocate Communications (www.ulocate.com), the world’s leading publisher of mobile location-based services, today announced a partnership that will present brands with unprecedented advertising opportunities to target and serve iPhone owners through an industry-first location-based advertising service. The deal extends Quattro’s In-App Network by leveraging uLocate’s WHERE™ application to deliver location-based overlays for Quattro’s innovative iPhone ad units. In addition, Quattro and uLocate will develop new ad-sponsorships for location-based keyword search, Widgets and Map options within WHERE.<br />

<p>WHERE, one of the most popular location-based applications in Apple’s iPhone App Store, will utilize Quattro’s dynamic ad serving platform to enable highly targeted in-application ads to be served to iPhone users based on contextual, demographic, behavioral and location information. WHERE’s location-based service will be added to Quattro’s industry leading Video, Call, In-Application, iTunes and Popover iPhone ad units. Under the deal, ad inventory for the WHERE application on the iPhone is available exclusively through the Quattro In-App Network and for Quattro’s flagship advertisers such as Toyota, Herbal Essences, Sony, Comcast and LionsGate.</p>
<p>WHERE helps users connect with the people, places and things around them by delivering geographically relevant retail, business and event information, as well as entertainment content. By contextualizing advertising with location through a consumer’s proximity and active search, Quattro and uLocate will create a premium and unprecedented advertising opportunity for brand marketers to elevate the mobile ad market. By example, Quattro and WHERE will enable rich advertising opportunity with:</p>
<p>Search-To-Map Keyword Advertising whereby search results can be paired with contextual advertisements–i.e. Walgreen’s could purchase the keywords “headache” and “Advil” to drive consumers to the closest store.</p>
<p>Widget Sponsorship allows multi-product or multi-channel brands such as Wal-Mart or Staples to highlight their store locations on the widget map home page and provide product specials.</p>
<p>WHERE™ Widget Banners inside BuddyBeacon and Local Search will be targeted to user behavior and widget type as well as provide full “Click To” functionality–ie. Click-To-Maps or Click-To-Video–to extend the interactive advertising experience.</p>
<p>“Our iPhone-exclusive partnership with uLocate is the latest example of Quattro’s leadership in providing advertisers and publishers with unsurpassed access to iPhone users and unprecedented premium advertising opportunities,” said Andrew Miller, CEO of Quattro Wireless. “Quattro has the largest network of adapted Publisher web sites for the iPhone–ranging from NFL to CollegeHumor.com to CBS News–and the addition of WHERE adds a sought after location element and cements our reputation as the go-to partner for brands that want to target the coveted iPhone market.”</p>
<p>“The popularity of WHERE among iPhone users makes it an ideal platform for brands seeking innovative ways to reach a highly relevant and receptive audience,” said Walt Doyle, CEO, uLocate Communications. “Together with Quattro Wireless, we are offering an unprecedented level of context to advertisers as we leverage the power of location to deliver the right message at precisely the right time.”</p>
<p>“Coupling Quattro with location-based service WHERE creates a compelling advertising opportunity on the iPhone. Being able to place one of my client’s ads in front of a consumer headed to a Wal-Mart or a Walgreens is a premium opportunity for Brand in Hand and its clients,” said John Hadl, CEO of Brand In Hand whose clients include Procter &amp; Gamble, American Express and Essurance. “By adding proximity of a consumer’s location to a brand’s media placement, we can invest in media much closer to a moment of truth, a sale.”</p>
<p>A tutorial for the advertising units available through Quattro and WHERE is available at www.QuattroWireless.com.</p>
