Mojiva is a mobile advertising network for smartphones and tablet devices.[1][2][3][4] The company is most well known for introducing an ad network tailored specifically for tablets, known as Mojiva Tab.[5][6] The company’s two primary services the mobile media network (Mojiva) and the mobile advertisement serving platform (Mocean Mobile).[6][7][8] Mojiva has raised a total of $42.3 million in venture funding.[1][9]

Company history

Mojiva launched in May 2008.[1][2] The company was founded by Krish Arvapally, Dan Goikhman, and Miles Spencer.[1] Dave Gwozdz, also a founding member of the ad network DoubleClick, is currently Mojiva’s CEO.[5][10] In 2011, Mojiva created the “Mobile Creative Alliance”, a loose partnership of media companies that held nationwide presentations to spread the word about mobile advertising.[11] Mojiva’s company headquarters are in New York City.[5] Branch offices are located in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Detroit, Chicago and London.[1][2][5] The company claims to represent 8,000 digital publishers and app developers.[3][6][12] Mojiva Tab is anticipated to reach 40 million tablet devices.[5] As of late 2012, Mojiva had raised a total of $42.3 million in funding from a variety of sources.[1][9] A funding round in July 2011 raised $25 million, while another round in late 2012 raised an additional $7 million.[1][5][9] Primary investors include Bertelsmann Digital Media Ventures, Shamrock Capital Advisors and Pelion Venture Partners.[1][5] Mojiva’s ad network serves both banner advertisements and interstitial (full screen).[13] Analysts expect healthy growth of the mobile ad marketplace, with rich media mobile advertising to rise by 365% between 2012 and 2016.[3]

Awards and recognition

Prior to the 2012 Presidential Election, Mojiva conducted an informal study of smartphone users’ political orientations.[7] The results of the study were made public on Mashable as an infographic.[7] In another study published on Mashable, Mojiva learned the smartphone users were more likely to text than phone family and friends on New Year’s Eve.[8]
