AdVoice is a mobile advertising platform that enables Mobile Operators to monetise incoming calls
by replacing the ringing tone with audio ads and Advertisers to engage with their target audience in a 1-on-1 fashion.
AdVoice is offered to operators as an end-to-end solution, including ad inventory sales. Mobile Operators benefit from our online Demand Side Platform (DSP), in-country sales teams and the partnerships with international media agencies. Our vision is to couple the operator’s unique insights into their mobile subscribers with multi-channel ad serving capabilities (AdRBT, Messaging, IVR, Streaming, WAP, Web).
AdVoice’s Profiling and Bidding capabilities will enable Advertisers to manage campaigns online in very much the same way as Digital Advertising, in fact it enables them to re-target consumers over the operator channels, in addition to the Search and Display publishing channels.
AdVoice is a member of the Channel IT Group, an international Telecom Services & Supplies company and a market leader in Mobile Network Infrastructure, Airtime Credit Services and Mobile Value Added Services.
