Emirates Airlines Puts Mobile In The Cockpit

Globetrotting business travelers are a tough target to pin down, but they do all have one thing in common – their phones. They also spend a lot of time waiting around airports connected to Wi-Fi.

After The Marriage: 5 Things You Need To Know About AOL Under Verizon

In the four months since Verizon's acquisition of AOL closed, AOL absorbed Microsoft’s advertising business, dropped $238 million on Millennial Media and Verizon revised its privacy policy in anticipation of its data flowing into the AOL stack. Since AOL launched a unified platform called ONE, it has preached the gospel of “openness.” But will that standard hold once Verizon’s... Continue reading »

Why The Agnostic Ad Tech Industry Needs Partisan Allies In DC

Online political spending – while still trailing far behind the budgets assigned to TV – is poised to match or exceed even the world’s largest brand advertisers.

AOL-Millennial Media Acquisition Shows It Isn’t Always About The Price

AOL’s acquisition of Millennial Media for $238 million was a coup for its purchaser, if not for its investors. The mobile ad platform went from an opening-day share price of $23.50 to $1.75 when AOL announced its intent to purchase Thursday. But Elgin Thompson, managing director at investment firm Digital Capital Advisors, cautioned not to... Continue reading »

Verizon’s Data Goldmine Is Also A Privacy Minefield

Does Verizon have access to rich user data? Undeniably. Will Verizon successfully capitalize on that opportunity? Questionable. After all, Verizon’s user data is only as valuable as its data practices. Verizon could certainly benefit in the wake of an acquisition spree that somewhat resembled a line of falling dominos – AOL into Verizon, Millennial Media... Continue reading »

A So-So Q2 For Millennial Media As A Buy-Out Seems More And More Likely

The Millennial Media train needs more steam. Revenue for Q2 was up just a smidgen from Q1, increasing from $63.2 million to $65.8 million quarter over quarter. But the same was not true for year over year revenue, which declined from $67.3 million. The majority of that revenue came courtesy of managed media, which represented... Continue reading »

Why Would AOL Shell Out $300 Million Or More For Millennial Media?

If mobile and video are the twin engines driving ad tech, then AOL’s rumored $300 million to $350 million acquisition of Millennial Media would put the pedal to the metal.
