“This year has changed the game for mobile advertisers,” remarked Daniel Pearson, CEO, Bamboo. “We’ve committed to do more than our part, not only helping our clients sustainably grow their businesses, but progressing the industry as a whole. Investing in transparent and high-quality platforms such as Facebook and Google has been a big part of that.”

Recognition for Bamboo’s business model signals the industry’s continuing demand for transparent, high-performing growth channels. This year the Facebook and Google ‘duopoly’ controlled 57% of mobile advertising, a reflection of the shift away from low-transparency and high-fraud mobile ad networks. Growth experts and agencies that continue to innovate in this current state are in high demand.
