Announcing the Pocket Gems Kiosk!

We’re absolutely ecstatic to announce our partnership with Pocket Gems to debut the Pocket Gems Kiosk. Developers looking to publish ads for the mega-successful mobile gaming company can now visit the Kiosk directly from the Pocket Gems website and apply to be a publisher.

Launched last year, our Direct Deals Marketplace allows us to connect publishers and advertisers directly, rather than going through a network that sometimes takes a 50% (or higher!) cut. The next step in its evolution is the Kiosk, which allows publishers to approach advertising partners directly- even if they aren’t yet a part of Chartboost’s Direct Deal Marketplace.

No one likes to squander valuable ad budgets on black-box campaigns, or likewise serve up questionably targeted ads to eager eyeballs. Each game is different, and each publisher is different, so why cook them up any old ad? That’s why we are announcing this brand new program to connect independent game developers with the bigger developers like Pocket Gems who want to advertise with them.
