8. S.M.A.R.T.™ Glossary of Terms
MARCH 2013
Mobile Audience Solutions – Targeting solutions built using Millennial Media’s proprietary technology and access to diverse
volumes of data. Millennial Media’s platform accesses and analyzes data – Location, Social, Interest and Mobile – to provide a unique,
multi-dimensional view of individual profiles. We call this our Relevance Graph. This view gives us deep insight into what is relevant to
individuals at any given moment. Because the Millennial Media platform operates in real-time, the Relevance Graph, is responsive to
every shift in data, continually refreshing audience segments for our Mobile Audience Solutions as individual interests, activities and
needs change.
Cross-Platform – Pertaining to multiple devices (smartphones, tablets, feature phones, non-phone connected devices), carriers (AT&T,
Verizon, Vodafone, etc.), or platforms (iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Symbian, etc.). Millennial Media is cross-platform – or
“platform agnostic” – because we do not focus on one single OS or device type. This enables advertisers to reach as many mobile users
as possible, regardless of their mobile device or carrier of choice.
Developer – Provider/creator of mobile applications and sites. Developers range from large entities (brands, portals, news sites, etc.)
to individuals who focus on just a handful of applications.
Feature Phone – Any web-enabled mobile phone that is not a smartphone.
Impression – A count of the number of times an ad unit appears on a mobile device.
Interactive Video – A high-impact video ad layered with interactive features that deliver a uniquely mobile, actionable experience to
customers.
Inventory – The ad space available on mobile websites and applications.
Non-Phone Connected Device – A non-phone mobile device. This includes tablets, gaming devices, e-readers, MP3 players, etc.
Post-Click Campaign Action – The action a marketing campaign is driving the customer to take once an ad is viewed (i.e., Place Call,
Download Application, View Map, etc.).
SDK – Software Development Kit. A tool that enables developers to seamlessly integrate mobile advertising into their applications,
thus monetizing their apps. Developer partners on Millennial Media’s platform download and integrate our SDKs (available for a variety
of operating systems – iOS, Android, Windows Phone, etc.) to gain access to the ads run by our advertising partners.
Smartphone – Any web-enabled and application-enabled mobile phone that runs on an operating system and offers the user more
advanced capabilities beyond just voice and mobile web access.
