Since launching its Mobile Ad Network product in Europe in the summer of 2009, InMobi has experienced rapid growth and is now recieving 850 million mobile advertising requests monthly across all major European markets.  To capitalise on this phenomenal success, Rob joins InMobi as Managing Director Europe, bringing with him deep experience in high-growth technology businesses that includes both start-ups and public companies across Europe, the US and Asia.
On joining InMobi, Rob said “I was attracted to InMobi by the phenomenal talent and success of the existing team, combined with their desire to build a truly global business in the fastest growing digital sector of this new decade.  Many factors are finally converging in Europe, which will result in significant growth in the use of mobile technology, with advertising being both a driver and beneficiary of this growth.  I look forward to building the European team to the benefit of our publishers and advertisers in the region.”

Rob joins InMobi from Google where he was a Director of Strategic Partnerships for Europe, Middle East and Africa, with responsibility for identifying, closing, and managing some of Google’s largest commercial relationships in the region. Before Google, he was at Yahoo! Europe, having joined through the acquisition of Overture Europe in October 2003. He was also a founding member of idealab!

Naveen Tewari, CEO  and Founder of InMobi, comments “By 2013, the global mobile adverrtising market is estimated to be worth $3.1bn (The Kelsey Group 6 Oct 2009) and since our launch in Europe only five months ago, InMobi’s growth has surpassed expectations with the UK now one of our top five countries. To sustain and capitalise on this growth, we recognise the need for local presence.  With his extensive experience, Rob is the right fit to further build the business in Europe and provide our advertisers and partners with the insights and support of a local team.  Equally important, our ability to attract and hire a seasoned executive like Rob Jonas is a testament to the strength of our business.  We are fortunate to have Rob on board and appreciate the early support provided by our European partners that enabled this exciting hire for InMobi.”

InMobi is the largest mobile ad network in South Africa with 650 million mobile ad requests per month. According to InMobi, 2010 Football World Cup will be a landmark event for catalyzing mobile advertising in South Africa

California, London, Singapore, Bangalore (15 December 2009) – InMobi  announced today that it has grown to become the largest mobile advertising network in South Africa with over 650 million mobile ad requests per month. The service offerings of InMobi have also been expanded to other countries in Africa such as Kenya, Nigeria and Egypt which are also beginning to show a significant growth in mobile advertising.

With the upcoming Football World Cup 2010, InMobi predicts an explosion in mobile advertising and brands engagement since nothing connects Africa quite like football. Under the first ever mobile rights distribution project for the World Cup operators around the world will stream all 64 matches live to mobile handsets. Users will also be able to receive highlights and updates to their phones on a near-live basis. In his address during the World Cup ceremony in Berlin, South African President Thabo Mbeki said that the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa would be the first event of this magnitude where the world would be able to participate via their mobile handsets.

Being the largest ad network in the region, InMobi is gearing up for the occasion. The company is also announcing a partnership with a South African advertising agency, MobiClicks, to engage South Africa with mobile advertising.

“Our partnership with InMobi has been very fruitful in the region. InMobi has been with us at every step and has ensured that our performance never dips. We believe 2010 will be another banner year for mobile advertising in South Africa and believe InMobi is a solid partner for advertisers looking to reach mobile consumers in the region,” said Shaun Rosen, CEO of MobiClicks.

The South African market is made up of very progressive users, who are highly engaged on their mobile devices and respond well to mobile advertising as measured by the click-through rates and advertiser return on investment. South Africa has close to 10 million mobile internet users which is expected to grow to 15 million by 2013. InMobi now aims at growing the entire mobile ecosystem in South Africa by bringing in global players into this market. As mentioned by Jose Henriques, Vodacom’s executive head of internet services, mobile internet is no longer luxury in Africa as it has become a valuable tool of global development.

Abhay Singhal, Head of Global Ad Sales at InMobi, added “The success of South Africa is now spreading to the rest of Africa and has shown some promising results in countries like Kenya, Nigeria and Egypt. It is perceived that mobile is now accelerating the economic growth of the entire continent. The World Cup 2010 will be a catalyst for mobile advertising in Africa, and we’re positioned to lead the market and connect brands and publishers to this emerging market.”
