Report Change
While the Retail & Restaurants verticals have traditionally been
combined in our reports, these verticals will now be reported
separately.We made this change to keep up with the evolving
mobile advertising landscape.This quarter, you can find an
in-depth look at the Restaurants vertical starting on Page 4.
TelecomTops in Q1
Telecommunications was the top vertical on our platform in Q1
(Chart A), growing campaign spend 102% from the same quarter
a year ago (Chart B). Mobile carriers and device manufacturers
ran video campaigns promoting new device launches.
Beauty Product Innovation
Consumer Goods was the sixth largest vertical spending on our
platform in Q1 (Chart A), growing 188% year-over-year (Chart B).
Cosmetics & Hygiene brands ran brand awareness campaigns
that utilized a variety of interactive methods, such as swiping

EmergingVerticals Show Growth

followed by the Non-profit & Charities and Energy & Power

throughout the purchase funnel, from leveraging geo-targeting around a Restaurant location, offering mobile coupons
that can be saved to a mobile wallet, and to capturing point-of-sale data. In the UK, restaurant chain Harvester had great
success integrating iOS’s Passbook with a mobile coupon campaign in order to drive foot traffic into their restaurants.

8. AudienceTargeting – A strategy used by advertisers to deliver relevant messaging to specific target audiences. Built upon massive
volumes of diverse user, location, app, and 3rd party data, Millennial Media’s audience targeting uses a variety of targeting techniques to
reach audiences, including behavioral, local, contextual, demographic, retargeting, tactical, and content-based solutions.
Cross-Platform – Pertaining to multiple devices (smartphones, tablets, feature phones, non-phone connected devices), carriers (AT&T,
Verizon, Vodafone, etc.), or platforms (iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Symbian, etc.). Millennial Media is cross-platform – or
“platform agnostic”– because we do not focus on one single OS or device type. This enables advertisers to reach as many mobile users as
possible, regardless of their mobile device or carrier of choice.

individuals who focus on just a handful of applications.

Impression – A count of the number of times an ad unit appears on a mobile device.
Interactive Video – A high-impact video ad layered with interactive features that deliver a uniquely mobile, actionable experience to
customers.
Inventory – The ad space available on mobile websites and applications.
Non-Phone Connected Device – A non-phone mobile device. This includes tablets, gaming devices, e-readers, MP3 players, etc.
Post-Click Campaign Action – The action a marketing campaign is driving the customer to take once an ad is viewed (i.e., Place Call,
Download Application, View Map, etc.).
SDK – Software Development Kit. A tool that enables developers to seamlessly integrate mobile advertising into their applications, thus
monetizing their apps. Developer partners on Millennial Media’s platform download and integrate our SDKs (available for a variety of
operating systems – iOS, Android, Windows Phone, etc.) to gain access to the ads run by our advertising partners.
Smartphone – Any web-enabled and application-enabled mobile phone that runs on an operating system and offers the user more
advanced capabilities beyond just voice and mobile web access.
Vertical – The classification of advertisers by industry.
