Omar Hamoui is an entrepreneur with deep roots in the mobile industry. After earning a degree in Computer Science at UCLA and prior to founding AdMob, Omar founded and ran several companies in mobile software and services. At the time, he was frustrated by the lack of available options when it came to promoting and monetizing his products. Omar realized that mobile service and content firms needed better ways to advertise and make money on the mobile Web. Omar created AdMob to solve this problem. Today, at 29, Omar is running one of the fastest growing, most innovative companies in the mobile world.

The AdMob Marketplace offers advertisers access to the world's largest network of mobile Web inventory, and a powerful set of targeting tools with real-time metrics and reporting. AdMob now provides advertisers the opportunity to run ads across a comprehensive set of mobile content channels, including communities, entertainment, news, and portals.

AdMob mobile advertising campaigns can be set up in minutes, allowing for almost instant results for both content owners and advertisers. To get an idea of the volume and velocity of activity on AdMob's network, visit www.admob.com. There you can track the number of ads being served globally and you can even see a sample of the ads being served to mobile users in over 150 different countries in North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

Even advertisers with budgets as small as $10 use the network to generate results, with click-through rates of 5-10x those of desktop Web advertising. And happy advertisers stick with the Marketplace, bringing more revenue to publishers as a result.

From a standing start in early 2006, AdMob now reaches more than 250 million page views per month in over 150 countries. Advertisers range from small startups to top 10 global brands. And the network continues to grow at a rate of 150% per month. With the recent integration of the contextual search channel, AdMob now offers advertisers access to mobile Web searches through Google's mobile AdWords service.

Recently Omar completed a round of fundraising led by Sequoia Capital, and expanded his Board of Directors to include Jim Goetz, General Partner at Sequoia, and Maynard Webb, Silicon Valley investor and former COO of eBay.
