San Diego, CA. – saambaa recently added seven new AAN member publications to their mobile entertainment app platform: the Austin Chronicle, Colorado Springs Independent, Charleston City Paper, Boise Weekly, INDY Week, Memphis Flyer and Illinois Times. The platform allows any publisher to add revenue by creating a powerful mobile app, which showcases local event and entertainment content. Two of saambaa’s partners, Boise Weekly and Jackson Free Press, each added over $9,000 of mobile revenue in January alone.

“Our publisher partners continue to be innovative with the platform in ways that we’ve never even thought of.” Said saambaa CEO and co-founder, Matt Voigt. “The platform is very flexible, so publishers have been selling exclusive channels to advertisers, or creating their own channels for revenue-generating promotions like ‘Coffee Week’ or ‘Pizza Week’, which their readers love. We also have a new contest feature launching in February, which is going to be a huge deal for advertisers and fun for readers. With the importance of mobile growing every day, our partners can stay relevant with zero up-front investment.”

Saambaa does not charge fees for its platform. Publishers get their own unique, custom-branded iPhone and Android entertainment app as part of a revenue sharing partnership with the Company. And because it’s a revenue-sharing relationship, saambaa acts as an extension of the publisher’s team to ensure they’re not left alone to navigate the complexities of mobile.
