MeetMe Experiences Strong Performance from New Interstitial Ad Unit

04/05/2016

NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader for social discovery, today
announced strong performance of its new interstitial ad units, which are
now live on MeetMe’s popular Android and iPhone applications. The
interstitial is a full screen ad that appears in a number of high impact
placements and has been tested and ramped up slowly over the last few
months to avoid impacting engagement. The new unit is expected to
contribute roughly $5,000 per day in revenue by the end of this month.

“This new interstitial unit is an evolution of the video interstitial
unit we launched last year,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “The CPMs
for this unit are on par or better than what we saw for the video unit
while also commanding a higher fill rate and being less disruptive for
the user. We look forward to continuing to innovate and experiment with
new ad placements both in the US and internationally.”
