Idle screen mobile marketing provider Celltick has announced the launch of livescreen.com, the world's first web-based ad server which allows local and global advertisers to purchase idle screen advertising in all markets where Celltick's LiveScreen Media platform is operational. The platform has been built in collaboration with BidVertiser, an international ad network serving billions of ads per month, using a proprietary ad serving platform.
Cellticks LiveScreen Media allows millions of users around the world to receive entertainment, news, sports, business and lifestyle teasers, as well as advertising and operator promotions, direct to the idle screens of their mobile handsets.
