The introduction of Mobile Metrix in Malaysia allows for reporting of mobile browser and app audiences on smartphones and tablets. The MDA and comScore rate the Top 20 web properties accessed by mobile devices in Malaysia on a monthly basis. comScore said the service helps publishers to demonstrate the size and value of their mobile audiences to advertisers and assist media planners and buyers to better evaluate advertising opportunities on mobile devices. Malaysia is the first country to introduce Mobile Metrix in Asia Pacific. The service is now extended to Australia, China, India and Singapore and will also be available in Taiwan and Hong Kong by end 2014.
Dato’ Zainul Arifin B. Mohammed Isa, Chief Executive Officer of Media Prima Digital said, “Good content is priceless. Prolific content is the key that draws traffic to our web properties. As a Group, Media Prima has substantially more than 1,000 people who are directly involved in content creation, be it for television, newspaper, radio, cinema and the web and we leverage on the Group’s strength of being a fully-integrated media and platform agnostic. That means that we are able to cross-share content between platforms and that is what draws the attention to our sites. We are certainly proud of this achievement and will continue to strive and provide value to our customers and clients.”
Dato’ Sri Amrin Awaluddin, Group Managing Director of Media Prima added, “As a Group, we acknowledge the shift of audiences consuming content from traditional mediums to smart gadgets which suits their lifestyle, on the go, anytime and anywhere. The data collected from these rankings will allow us to plan ahead and anticipate audience preferences. Our challenge is no longer confined to the speed of information, but the flexibility of presentation these information. We are optimistic that the group will continue provide value beyond expectations.”
