Madrivo Grows Mobile and Native Ad Initiative

Madrivo hired Dan Buontempone, a veteran in the performance marketing space, to assist with mobile and native ad initiatives in 2016.


New York, NY (PRWEB) February 11, 2016


By 2017, mobile traffic will account for more than 25% of online ad spending worldwide. That translates to an estimated $15 billion dollars allocated solely to mobile advertising efforts.


Although Madrivo has always been an active player in the mobile channel, the company has recently implemented new strategies that will facilitate exponential growth in terms of market share and consumer engagement. In response to the surge of ad blockers hindering mobile display efforts, they also plan to enhance their native ad capabilities, securing placements that will put brands in direct contact with their ideal customers and potentially generate over 50% more views. Madrivo’s current sales executives have contributed to the brand’s rapid growth with their expertise in niche verticals. Adding Dan Buontempone’s experience from working with mobile and native ad affiliates to the mix will strengthen Madrivo’s competitive edge.


Dan first took an interest in advertising while earning his bachelor’s degree at Hofstra University in Long Island, New York and now has over a decade of experience in the affiliate marketing industry. He takes pride in his ability to match household brands with accomplished publishers that can maximize exposure and forge lifelong relationships with customers. Acting as Madrivo’s newest Publisher Development Specialist, Dan adds a wide variety of affiliates to an already extensive network. His knowledge in the mobile and native arenas coupled with the vision and resources of Madrivo’s senior management will have a measurable impact on the status quo of mobile marketing.


Through its efforts in becoming a leading CPA network, Madrivo gained access to a vast array of the industry’s leading mobile brands, content creators, and media buyers. Dan’s experience with this specific affiliate breed and the addition of his existing accounts will play an instrumental role in Madrivo’s continued efforts to reshaping the performance marketing space. Dan spoke candidly about joining Madrivo’s team, saying “I’ve worked with Madrivo in various capacities in the past and knew they had a sophisticated approach to affiliate marketing. Working for a Top 5 world-ranked CPA network is a tremendous opportunity for me to advance my career and further my industry knowledge. I’m excited to share my talents with the Madrivo team and work side-by-side with some of the brightest, most experienced executives in the space.”


Madrivo intends to dominate mobile and native ad channels by leveraging Techtelligence -the company’s proprietary blend of technology, analytics, and data- to match the mass volume and unrivaled quality they’ve achieved through traditional email traffic. Interestingly enough, while email is still the most effective marketing method in terms of customer acquisition and ROI, less than 50% of brands have a mobile email strategy in place. In the coming year, Madrivo will provide household brands with the strategic resources and campaign management needed to maximize the return on their marketing spend.

C. STINNETT: Henderson native creating new social media app business

HENDERSON, Ky. – Starting and running a business can be a roller coaster. Buts Jonathan Burdon loves it anyway.


“I’m an entrepreneur,” the 27-year-old Henderson native said. “I’m not motivated by money. I’m motivated by challenge.”


His challenge now is SocialCoaster, a social media app he hopes will suck you into its special-interest communities.


“It allows people to connect with people who have similar interests rather than a community of friends” like Facebook, said Burdon, founder and CEO of SocialCoaster.


Burdon was born to Hendersonians Tim and Joyce (Kloke) Burdon. His father was pastor at New Hope Baptist Church, but was called to another church when Jonathan was a toddler. The family remained in Western Kentucky, however, and Jonathan graduated from Murray State University with degrees in organizational communication and marketing.


While still in college, he created an online marketing business, operating it for six years before selling it last year. Using some of the proceeds as well as capital from some angel investors around Western Kentucky, he created SocialCoaster, a Nashville-based company that employs five people.


Three developers write software for the iPhone and Android versions of the app while Burdon and another employee tend to business matters.


“My passion is the business side of things,” he said. “I’ve got an awesome team of developers; I’m the most replaceable member of the team.”


SocialCaster consists of a variety of special-interest communities or “loops” that people can join or create. There’s a loop for Murray State University alumni and foodies who like the blog TheSouthernLadyCooks.com and fans of Kentucky basketball. Followers of a loop can make comments or post photos.


Burdon said he has intentionally grown it gradually. “The product is constantly changing,” he said.


“With a lot of the most successful businesses, a core group of users provide a lot of great feedback, verbally and nonverbally, on what they use and what they don’t use.”


“Our goal is to become a more modern form of (online) forum and bulletin board,” Burdon said.


“We’re not there yet, where we want to be” — many loops have just a few dozen followers, although Phone Photographers have nearly 800.


But Burdon said that’s all right. “We’re trying to control our growth since we’re learning so much” about what users “do and don’t do, like and don’t like,” he said.


Right now, SocialCaster has no revenue. Burdon hopes by October to make the various loops available to sponsors who will be able to present exclusive content of interest to members of that community.


“I think we’ll be in a totally different place when we monetize” the app.
