From Russia with Love

You don’t have to be James Bond to figure out that the international market for online advertising is growing significantly, due in large part to growing Internet access.

Russian advertisers, in particular, seem to be in very good positions for the coming years. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, by year 2017, the volume of the Russian online advertising market will reach $4.4 billion. Last year this indicator was $1.8 billion. Based on this data, Russia is the biggest market of online advertising in Central and East Europe.

Advertising networks such as Kavanga are helping to lead the Russian market. Kavanga is our newest international customer to hand-pick our hyperlocal IP geolocation data to deliver more advanced targeted ads to users across its network of websites.
