BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobile World Congress -- Prodea Systems, a provider of the industry's leading IoT (Internet of Things) services platform and UMEWIN, a ground breaking mobile advertising and corporate social responsibility (CSR) platform, today announced from Mobile World Congress a strategic partnership that will see the deployment of a unique business model via Prodea's multi-service IoT platform. Enabling a new era of targeted and effective mobile advertising that leverages important data analytics and is matched to users' interests - while providing the opportunity for users to support important causes - is made possible due to Prodea's ability to seamlessly integrate UMEWIN's advertising application into their multiservice IoT platform.
UMEWIN is a mobile advertising and CSR platform whose patented technology sends effective interactive, targeted advertising campaigns with offers and discounts to relevant audiences who have opted-in to receive them at determined time frames. Advertising campaigns and content are matched to users' interests and needs and used to create an innovative revenue sharing model. With up to 80% of all revenue donated to world changing causes, this highly compelling business model is mutually beneficial for users and advertisers, as it allows advertisers to customize and target their ads to key audience stakeholders while attracting end users by enabling them to easily become agents of change. The offering has gained significant interest for global mobile operators who are focused on generating new opportunities for revenue contributions and launching successful programs that promote higher adoption and usage rates. With Prodea's multi-service platform, service providers can now seamlessly integrate UMEWIN into their operations and begin to generate important advertising funded CSR revenue through a series of high value advertising to their subscribers, while additionally creating a positive brand image and building brand loyalty.
UMEWIN benefits and value proposition:
"Mobile operators' vast reach places them in a strong position in the mobile advertising value chain but the challenge is to target meaningful and relevant advertising that users want to receive as well as identifying a way to work into the operational model of these operators' core business," said Andrew Tauhert, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Prodea. "The Prodea and UMEWIN strategic partnership solves these challenges by bringing the UMEWIN service as part of an end-to-end multi-service platform that creates a new socially responsible channel that operators can leverage to generate advertising revenue streams while building customer and brand loyalty. The compelling innovation, technology and business model, as well as being the first to market with this socially responsible platform positions operators as leaders in the quickly growing mobile advertising industry."
"We are thrilled to partner with Prodea and introduce this new socially responsible advertising application to their global distribution network. Our mission at UMEWIN is to collectively change the mobile advertising world with our revolutionary platform and to empower users to support the causes that are dear to them," said Pablo Franzetti, CEO of UMEWIN. "We now have the power to create real change and share advertising revenue with the world's most relevant causes. The partnership with Prodea enables UMEWIN to have a global impact and shines a spotlight on the companies and operators who are implementing the UMEWIN application within their operations. We believe this is the future of progressive mobile advertising and look forward to working with the forward-looking brands that truly care about making the world a better place."
