As the most widely-deployed rich media advertising and analytics platform, it’s our goal to offer the most innovative and comprehensive platform for publishers, advertisers, developers and our partners. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Rich Media Ad SDK for Android, making Medialets the first and only cross-platform, network independent, fully native rich media solution for mobile.

The introduction of our Rich Media Ad SDK for Android means it’s now possible to create and deliver the richest mobile specific ads across both Android and iPhone devices. This, combined with a sophisticated dashboard that enables advertisers to view and compare a common set of metrics for both iPhone and Android campaigns, significantly streamlines the buying process for brands in mobile.

Android rich media support is also critical for scale; the demand for mobile rich media is only accelerating as more advertisers seek out campaigns that deliver engagement rates beyond that of online advertising to reach the exponentially-growing audience of smartphone and app users. Having a single solution for rich media across the mobile ecosystem drives down the cost to create mobile ads and takes the guesswork out of how to comparatively measure performance.

Top tier publishers, agencies and advertisers are already tapping into Medialets’ rich media advertising and analytics platform for iPhone and iPad. Today, we’re happy to say that we’ve made it easier for our current and future customers to effectively address the full scope of this growing market.

Medialets is immediately signing up new and existing customers for the initial public beta of the Android Ad SDK. To learn more, email us at connect@medialets.com.

You probably already know that Medialets’ SDK is distinguished by its ability to enable the industry’s most compelling rich media and deepest ad and app analytics. These capabilities, combined with our unparalleled support in developing high-value rich media creative, attract a broad range of top tier publisher and advertisers to our platform.

And, as demand increases, we’re finding that needs are evolving. Publishers want Medialets’ rich media because it brings the most value to their app inventory, but they’re also looking for a solution that easily integrates into their current and future sales and advertising operations.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the availability of Medialets’ Universal SDK for iPhone and iPad. This Universal SDK is designed to support Medialets unique high-value rich media, while also giving publishers the flexibility and control they need for the most effective inventory sales and ad operations – all from one SDK.

Medialets’ Universal SDK makes it easier for publishers to manage and grow their app advertising revenue in a few ways:

1. By enabling rich media, display advertising and analytics, all from one SDK
2. By easily integrating with ad networks and mediators to supplement inventory sales, all from one SDK
3. By allowing the publisher to benefit from Medialets’ high-value rich media while also using their established first-party ad servers (like DoubleClick’s DFP, AOL’s AdTech or Ringleader), all from one SDK

Medialets’ Universal SDK also gives publishers server-side control of their app advertising. In other words, you can make changes to ad tags without updating your app, saving time and money.

The Universal SDK was featured this morning on TechCrunch.  If you’d like more information about how Medialets’ Universal SDK brings  more value, flexibility and control to your app advertising, send us an email.

Over the last few months, we have heard from a lot of custom and multiple app developers who have said “it would be great if we could register a whole bunch of apps at once into Medialytics rather than doing it one by one.” And with our recent release of our Analytics SDKs for Android and Blackberry, the need to provide a bulk-uploading tool became even greater.

So today we’re releasing our Medialytics Application Management API that allows for programmatic and bulk registration of iPhone, Blackberry and Android apps into our Medialytics platform.

For custom and multiple app developers, the Application Management API makes it easier to gain unprecedented real-time access to the performance of their apps while seamlessly managing all versions and properties of their apps within the Medialytics analytics platform.

ScrollMotion, a media and technology company specializing in the development of innovative applications for mobile devices, helped us test the API over the past few months by uploading and registering hundreds of apps into Medialytics.

The Application Management API, which is a RESTful API, can be accessed for free by signing up for a Medialytics account at www.Medialytics.com.

Big news today for all Blackberry and Android developers out there…Medialets Blackberry and Android Analytics SDKs are now available.

These SDKs extend Medialets analytics offerings beyond the iPhone, reflecting the strong growth in Blackberry and Android development.

Our analytics SDKs provide developers with a single dashboard that allows for the measurement and tracking of basic metrics as well as complex custom events within all of their Blackberry and Android apps (and iPhone of course). Now you can view deep, customized analytics for your apps across multiple platforms, to make the most informed improvements to your apps. The SDKs can be downloaded simply by signing up for Medialytics at http://www.Medialytics.com.

Here’s a screenshot preview of the dashboard…

The strength of Blackberry’s install base and high value users along with Android’s solid relationships with OEMs, carriers, and users, made it a priority for us to make our unique analytics capabilities available to developers working on these platforms.

And while we’ve spent a significant amount of time developing these SDKs, they are as always, available for free simply by signing up at Medialytics.com. We’re also hosting an Android Developer meet-up at or offices on March 3rd. All are welcome. More info and RSVP here — http://www.meetup.com/androidnyc/

More exciting announcements and product releases across our analytics and rich media ad platforms to come! Stay tuned.

Developers can now define and measure complex custom events within apps

New York, NY: March 1, 2010 – Medialets, the most widely deployed rich media ad and analytics platform for mobile, today extended its Medialytics offering by releasing a new Analytics Software Developers Kit (SDK) for Android and Blackberry applications. The new SDKs allow developers to track standard application metrics (unique users, sessions, average run-time, run-time frequency, etc) as well as define and measure complex custom user events within Blackberry and Android applications.

These custom events provide a great deal of insight and flexibility to the application publisher. Developers can instrument their application to capture the metrics that are most meaningful to their application and unique to the Medialets platform, developers can store a practically limitless amount of data with their custom events. For example, a game application developer can not only track what level a user has achieved in a game, but also all of the pieces and associated objects the user collected in that level. A content app developer can look beyond simply what article a user is reading and learn how they got to the page, how long the user spent on it, and if they scrolled to the bottom.

Integration of the new Analytics SDKs is a simple and rapid process – taking just a few hours to complete. Data captured through these events is then available in a comprehensive dashboard that also provides standard reporting metrics. Developers and publishers can make educated improvements to their Blackberry and Android apps based on these measurable insights into user behavior.

“Medialets offers analytics that support the high level of innovation that’s going into to Blackberry and Android apps, and go well beyond the basic metrics of simply counting downloads.” said Medialets CEO Eric Litman. “These insights help developers to deeply understand what users do and don’t do with their applications and empower them to make critical decisions about where to focus their valuable development resources.”

Developers can download Medialets’ BlackBerry and Android Analytics SDKs, along with our iPhone Analytics SDK, by signing up at www.Medialytics.com.

Milestone indicates maturation of market and mass uptake of publisher tools and reporting by iPhone developers

NEW YORK, New York. – April 15th, 2009 – Medialets, the leading analytics and ad technology platform for next-generation mobile applications, has today announced reaching the milestone of processing one billion events through the company’s free analytics product, Medialytics.

Medialytics, launched on July 11th, 2008 – the same day as Apple’s App Store – has been installed over 60 million times across more than 13 million unique devices to date. Medialytics measures behaviors in many of the top 20 highest downloaded applications on the iPhone platform based upon data released by Apple last week. Medialets works with developers and media publishers who look to Medialytics as a business intelligence tool to help them make informed decisions around improving app strategy and performance.

“Knowing and tracking key metrics are an important part of any successful business’ operations. With Apple nearing a billion downloads, there’s now meaningful scale from which every developer on the platform can draw insights to drive their product and marketing decisions,” says Eric Litman, CEO of Medialets. “We give our customers the tools they need to collect the data and metrics that are important to advancing their business.”

The most powerful insights to come from 10 months of data relate to engagement time with content and functionality-rich applications.  Engagement time across all Medialets applications falls between 3.5 minutes and 7 minutes on average per session.  The company sees ad click-through rates range from 1% on the low end to 8% on the high end for both advertiser content as well as cross-application promotion.

“It is still a young market, but developers and publishers alike on the platform are quickly learning what to track and how to adapt to the data they see.” remarks Litman. “Analytics are a competitive tool. Knowing more about your audience than your competitors do in this exceptionally competitive space is an important part of staying ahead.”
