InMobi Acquires MobileAction to Enhance Global AI-Driven Advertising Solutions
  • InMobi announced the acquisition of MobileAction, an AI-powered platform for iOS app growth and analytics, to expand its global advertising capabilities.

  • MobileAction counts major brands and publishers such as Google, Meta, DoorDash, Square, Zalando, Playtika, and Priceline among its users, underscoring its scale.

  • The platform aggregates extensive mobile marketing data—millions of creatives, keywords, and apps—enabling performance benchmarking, competitive analysis, and campaign optimization.

  • Karaalioğlu thanked angel investors, customers, and the team, noting that they’re just getting started.

  • The deal terms were not disclosed.

  • Leadership quotes emphasize AI-led, scalable, precision marketing and a shared vision for agentic AI-driven advertising and growth.

  • The move follows InMobi’s $350 million funding round in late 2025 and a SoftBank stake buyback of about 25–30%, signaling ongoing expansion in digital advertising.

  • MobileAction faced early fundraising challenges, including a difficult Series A in 2016, after which it shifted to sustainable products and strengthened its Apple Ads ecosystem position.

  • Karaalioğlu described the acquisition as a way to help brands acquire users in a privacy-first, AI-driven world, with benefits including more resources, a stronger team, faster innovation, and broader global reach, while reassuring customers that their experience remains largely the same.

  • Financial terms again noted as undisclosed, with leadership emphasizing AI-driven, scalable, precise advertising solutions.

  • MobileAction was founded by Aykut Karaalioğlu and began as an app discovery tool before expanding into Apple Ads optimization and broader mobile growth solutions.

  • In 2025, MobileAction expanded by acquiring Skai’s Apple Ads business, bringing in larger customers and greater scale.
