Following the close of the transaction, MobileAction will continue to operate as a dedicated platform, with its team across the US, Europe, and Turkey joining the InMobi Group.

MobileAction is widely used by leading global brands and app publishers, including Google, Meta, Doordash, Square, Zalando, Playtika, and Priceline.
