MeetMe(R) Launches Native Feed Advertising Powered by Flurry

NEW HOPE, PA — (Marketwire) — 04/01/13 — MeetMe, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MEET), the public market leader for social discovery, announced today the launch of advertising in the Live Feed feature of its mobile applications.

“We are excited to launch new native feed advertising units with Flurry,” commented Geoff Cook, Chief Executive Officer of MeetMe, Inc. “Our location-based Live Feed is the backbone of our service, receiving over two million posts per day. By weaving advertising into the fabric of the app and giving it an organic look-and-feel, we believe we can increase our mobile monetization. The smaller mobile screen demands advertising units that are contextual and social and play to the strength of the mobile device. Last week we launched our mobile subscription service MeetMe+ to monetize our most loyal and engaged users. By launching Feed Advertising, we look to further monetize the vast majority of our audience through their attention to our content. We are committed to furthering our leadership as one of the top-grossing social apps on iPhone and Android.”

Following this launch with Flurry of non-incented mobile app-install ads, the company intends to launch incented mobile app install ads in Q2.

“Beyond consistently ranking among the top grossing Social apps in the App Store and on Google Play, MeetMe has more fundamentally built a very large, fast growing audience of addicted, loyal users,” said Peter Farago, Flurry vice president of marketing. “Adding relevant, contextual mobile advertising in this scenario promises to not only increase revenue for the property, but also provide advertisers access to valuable audience. We are excited to work with MeetMe to bring our thousands of advertisers to the MeetMe platform.”

“We are excited to launch these new mobile ad units as we-ve seen recent industry success with this type of native advertising,” said Bill Alena, Chief Revenue Officer, MeetMe, Inc. “We are actively working toward the combination of partners, ad units, and advertisers that resonate with our users and maximize our revenue.”
