Maxymiser is to be purchased in order to take in its service that gives greater personalization abilities to marketers.

Oracle Corp. will now be adding the Maxymiser Ltd. mobile marketing services company to its latest acquisitions, making it possible to take in the service which gives marketers the ability to target customers and personalize what they see whether they are viewing it on the mobile web or in an app.

The startup is known for its powerful cloud-based software that has been designed to enhance mobile advertising and promotion.

As of the writing of this article, the specific terms of the acquisition of the mobile marketing services company have not yet been disclosed. What is known about it is that Maxymiser was originally created back in 2006. It managed to successfully raise investor capital through a number of powerful sources, such as Scottish Enterprises, Pentech Ventures, and Investor Growth Capital. This, according to the records at Dow Jones VentureWire.

Oracle will soon own the service that lets mobile marketing firms test, target, and personalize what is seen by customers.

The service is unique in that it can give marketers the ability to carefully and accurately target the content that is seen by a customer when visiting a webpage on the mobile web, or when using a smartphone app. In this way, that content can be carefully designed in order to be the most appealing and relevant to the specific individual who will actually be viewing it. According to Oracle, this mobile technology is going to be added to its Oracle Marketing Cloud.

From among the original three founders of Maxymiser that had been with the company when it was created in 2006, only one remains. That man, Mark Simpson, will be joining Oracle, say the initial reports of the acquisition. That said, he won’t be the only one from Maxymiser that will be sticking around. The CEO of the company, Tim Brown, as well as about 400 of its employees will also be joining the Oracle team.

A statement from the official Oracle website has explained that the cloud-based mobile marketing software can be highly effective in boosting both engagement and revenue from a campaign.

The global earnings from smartphone based ads is increasing at a very rapid rate.

A recent report has indicated that the global revenue from mobile advertising, last year, increased by a tremendous 64.8 percent, which is a direct reflection of other trends relating to smartphones.

The region in which the fastest revenue growth was experienced was in North America, at 76.8 percent.

That said, mobile advertising appeared to experience a rapid growth rate worldwide. Other regions all experienced increases in revenues that were more than 50 percent. The form of mobile marketing that saw the highest rate of growth in terms of its revenues was mobile display ads. That category increased its revenues by 88.1 percent, year over year. It managed to surpass mobile search as the dominant category in the smartphone based advertising segment. This data was reported by the Mobile Marketing Center of Excellence at the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), as well as IAB Europe, and HIS Technology.

The report found that global mobile advertising revenues reached the $31.9 billion mark, last year.

That revenue represents an increase of 65 percent. Of that, North America made up 44.9 percent of the revenues.

When looking at the individual categories of mobile ads, mobile search lost its first place status to mobile display, which is now the biggest segment. Mobile display saw a growth rate of more than 88 percent.

According to the senior vice president of IAB, Anna Bager, who is also the general manager for the IAB Mobile Marketing Center and Digital Video Centers of Excellence, “Mobile devices are at the center of consumers’ lives across the globe and these numbers reflect brands’ increasing recognition that this medium holds great power. Now is the time for the industry to coalesce on standards and guidelines to build even more momentum for mobile marketing around the world.”

It is more than clear that mobile advertising is growing at an exceptional rate, as marketers, brands, and businesses alike begin to discover that the time in which this category can be considered a luxury or a novelty has passed. Mobile-geddon has shown that there is no way to continue to deny that advertising over smartphones and tablets has become a vital part of marketing.
