Alerts
Automated and push alerts can be employed to deliver content to consumers, such as breaking news, school closings, severe weather, traffic delays and more. Media companies can also use alerts to notify consumers of live streaming audio and video events, keeping them in-the-know while they are on-the-go.
Sharing
In a few simple taps, mobile consumers can share content with family and friends by email, text message or notify the masses in Facebook and Twitter, extending media company brand and distribution worldwide.
Complete Monetization
Geo-located Advertising
All News Synergy apps employ geo-located advertising, enabling media companies and their advertisers to target ads down to a one-half kilometer radius. Whether consumers are at home, on vacation or traveling for work, they will find ads and offers for products and services in their areas.
Locally Sold or National Backfill
All ad positions on News Synergy can be sold locally, or filled nationally for automatic revenue, including high-CPM revenue with Apple iAds. In addition, sponsorship can be sold for the entire app or by category.
Ad Serving Metrics
Selling mobile advertising is difficult without comprehensive metrics. News Synergy offers the most comprehensive mobile advertising analytics available in the industry. Yield management, geo-targeting, day parting, and industry-first forecasting and pacing target ads to run when and where advertisers want them to appear, eliminating the guesswork.
Standalone Apps
While most local media companies offer News Synergy as an all-inclusive news and weather app, standalone apps are available for events such as fairs and festivals, content verticals such as high school sports and weather only, as well as to distribute local coupons, discounts and deals with News Synergy Deals. Whether your local media company needs an all-in-one or standalone app, News Synergy delivers.
Native Device Support
News Synergy supports the most popular mobile digital devices, including Apple® iPhone®, iPod touch®, iPad® and Google™ Android™. All News Synergy apps are native, meaning there is no need for consumers to stretch apps for viewing. Media companies appreciate native apps because most app changes are dynamic, meaning they do not require resubmission to the Apple App Store℠ or Android Market™.
