London, UK (April 15, 2015) – Leading ad serving technology company Flashtalking announced its partnership with Starcom MediaVest Group (SMG) UK to service the global agency’s mobile ad serving needs for its clients.

The partnership builds upon the strong relationship that the two companies have developed over a number of years.

Scott Curtis, SMG’s mobile director, said: “We are delighted to formalise the partnership with Flashtalking as our preferred mobile ad server.

“Having worked together with them for some time, we were impressed with Flashtalking’s mobile proposition and we are looking forward to working more closely together to deliver successful strategies for our clients as well as benefiting from influencing the future roadmap of mobile ad tech innovation.”
