Comcast BuzzFeed Deal Latest Millennial Content Grab
BY REINHARDT KRAUSE, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
07/30/2015 04:44 PM ET
•
Comcast's (NASDAQ:CMCSA) NBCUniversal is nearing a deal to invest $250 million in website BuzzFeed as communications companies rush to acquire media content for millennials.
Comcast also is interested in upping its minority stake in digital publisher Vox Media, according to reports.
Comcast, which acquired media giant NBC Universal in 2011 from General Electric (NYSE:GE), has stepped up talks since Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) in June acquired AOL for $4.4 billion. That deal gave Verizon mobile ad technology as well as online brands such as Huffington Post, TechCrunch and Engadget.

CHAIRMAN’S QUARTERLY REVIEW JUNE 2015
Highlights
• More than 10 million Monthly Uniquie Visitors across MOKO products
as at June 2015, exceeding December 2015 lower end user target
• REC*IT 2.0, BigTeams powered by REC*IT, and Speakiesy app developments
and enhancements near completion and ready for US Autumn launch
Dear Shareholders,
The June quarter has seen significant growth and development in our users and activities, and a number of key milestones have been achieved. In the September quarter 2014, we announced a target of 10 – 15 million Monthly Unique Visitors (MUV’s) by December 2015, and as at June 2015, we had already attained the lower end of this target with 10.1 million MUV’s across our product range. In addition, REC*IT had approximately 227,400 app installs as at the end of June 2015, an increase of circa 7% since March 2015, however it should be noted that the intramural programs at most campuses closed around mid-April ready for the students final exams period.
Vertical / AudienceProductMUVs at 30 June 2015PoliticalBlue Nation Review4.4 millionActive LifestyleRunHaven2.1 millionMillennial WomenTagroom3.6 millionTotal10.1 million - 2,000,000 4,000,000 6,000,000 8,000,000 10,000,000 12,000,000Sep-14Dec-14Mar-15Jun-15Monthly Unique Visitors
Our content now reaches approximately 179 million people monthly through Facebook and is on track to meet our target of 200 million by December 2015. A MUV is a unique visitor who enters one of our websites or apps, and a reach is someone who does not necessarily visit a website or app, but engages with our content on Facebook, such as a post ‘like’, ‘share’ or ‘comment’.
We are particularly pleased with our growth, especially reaching 10 million MUV’s by the end of June, six months ahead of target. The emphasis on building the number of users rather than short-term revenue is driven by our belief that we have a limited window of opportunity to gain market share in our chosen sectors, and this is where we are currently dedicating our resources. But this approach does not ignore the importance of demonstrating the relevance and potential of our content to users and those users to advertisers.
The fact that we have signed four new content syndication deals with some of the highest calibre media outlets clearly demonstrates the quality and relevance of our content, and the sponsorship deals is also a clear indication of the value and relevance of our users. In order to better understand our current strategy, we suggest you read this review in terms of our uncompromising focus on ensuring we have some of the very best content, and we are growing a highly relevant and engaged user base. It is from these foundations that we will create a valuable asset in terms of its monetization potential.
By providing tailored content and utility in a bespoke platform, we are able to engage a large and growing audience. Moreover, our platform allows two-way communication between the user and the provider of content, to create deep relationships with users, building trust and loyalty, to effectively embed our product with the user. These relationships allow us to learn everything about our users and in doing so we can develop extremely rich data profiles which increase brand and advertiser desirability to already extremely attractive market demographics. These strategically targeted communities are students, political supporters, active lifestyle participants and millennial women.
COLLEGE & HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
REC*IT
College sports and recreational activities form part of student life to a large proportion of U.S. students. We identified that these students were finding it cumbersome to register for, and manage, intramural and recreational activities on campus, either having to seek out and register via archaic websites or by physically visiting campus recreation centers. The students and the campus staff were also finding it difficult to communicate with team members directly.
To make intramural activities easier to manage we partnered with IMLeagues (IML), the largest and fastest growing intramural software platform in the U.S., to develop REC*IT, an app that provides students with intramural and recreational activity discovery, scheduling, registration, team communication and much more. Through an exclusive and perpetual agreement with IML, we have the right to rollout REC*IT exclusively to more than 950 universities. This exclusivity agreement with IML effectively means that we are building a virtual fence around college students and securing them from the threat of competition.
To date there have been approximately 227,400 REC*IT app installs, leading up to the summer break which started in May 2015. Launch of REC*IT 2.0 this fall, coinciding with the commencement of the new college semester, should be a major driver to growth in users. The initial launch has revealed that REC*IT is highly utilized when downloaded, with 74% of users returning to the app within 24 hours, and the average time spent on the app being 5.20 minutes each time. These metrics are substantially above the industry average.
REC*IT 2.0 will encompass a number of new features and enhancements including in-app registration, team creation, player and team invitations, and a redesigned user interface.
Following the summer break, intramural registration occurs in two sets from mid-August to mid-October. During these periods we will be focused on REC*IT 2.0 activation across 70 tier one schools by actively engaging with recreation Directors and sponsoring recreation activities at those schools. We will also be training recreation Directors on the use and benefits of REC*IT 2.0 so that they understand its value and can then recommend it to their students. It is anticipated that during the start of semester intramural orientation events, the recreation Directors will announce all intramural activities on campus and will recommend immediate download and registration for these activities via REC*IT.
BigTeams - powered by REC*IT
In April 2015 we entered an exclusive agreement with BigTeams, the largest high school sports software platform in the U.S., to provide a high school version of REC*IT to more than 4,000 high schools, exclusively. Development of the app is underway, with user interface, content design and a whole new native advertising process being integrated within the app user experience. This means that we do not rely on simple banner ads or display ads.
These ad units are integrated within the app structure and cannot be turned off or blocked by the user. The launch is scheduled for late September 2015, in-line with commencement of the new 2015-16 high school academic year.
BigTeams will extend our reach into the highly attractive high school market that is a key and targeted demographic for brands and advertisers. It will also allow us to reach parents, which currently make up approximately 42% of BigTeams current audience, and provide opportunity to cross pollinate parent users to our other verticals that target millennial women, such as Tagroom and RunHaven, to drive engagement and ultimately user valuation higher.
Importantly, BigTeams will introduce high school students to the REC*IT brand and develop familiarity and comfort with the product as they transition into college. This will allow us to capture the student from high school, through university and then beyond. Two-way communication and high engagement allows us to learn everything about these users over an extended period of time – what they do in their spare time, where they eat, shop and much more. This allows us to embed our products with the user so that highly relevant content can then be placed in front of them, including relevant and targeted advertising, and our other products that are of interest to them.
Speakiesy
Speakiesy is our college social app that connects college students by allowing them to post stories around campus through text, pictures, and video. Created in response to student demand for a service that blocks outsiders, students can only access Speakiesy at the campus they attend by logging in with their .edu email address, making it an exclusive “VIP club” that can only be joined by students at that specific campus.
Following a successful beta test last quarter, we have taken user feedback on board to improve the app through user interface design and feature enhancements, including a design rebrand where we have been working closely with millennial design and media experts at Carrot Creative – a division of VICE Media, who will be assisting us with the roll-out and marketing in the fall.
During the U.S. summer school break, we have been recruiting students to be campus “brand ambassadors” for Speakiesy at the initial targeted launch colleges. These brand representatives will be high profile students within their campus (such as Sorority and Fraternity members) who have social influence on the ground and with fellow students, and will be focused on promotion of Speakiesy adoption, use and content creation within their respective university environments.
These so-called “Campus Founders” are being recruited to also provide constructive, real-time input on the app use and features, and so far the response from these students has been extremely positive: “It’s similar to Yik Yak but much better. Our Fraternity’s reputation has been damaged by the negative publicity surrounding Yik Yak and a campus-only app is exactly what we need.” Andrew Marquez, Junior at University of Alabama - July 8th 2015.
"I have seen a lot of other social media apps create rifts between both Greeks and Non-Greeks, [“Greeks” the term for Sororities and Fraternities, as their names are based on the Greek Alphabet] as well as cause drama. Speakiesy has to repair these rifts and unite our campus.” Jane Whaley Rodgers, Junior at the University of South Carolina- July 15th 2015.
“I believe that Speakiesy would be beneficial to have on all college campuses due its dedication in preventing cyber-bullying. As technology and social media become more and more a part of our daily lives, there will always be an opportunity for someone to say harsh comments on social media. Speakiesy regulates everything that is posted, so this issue would be virtually eliminated!” Allyson Fric, Senior at University of Kentucky– July 15th 2015
Rolling out this fall and in-line with commencement of the new semester, Speakiesy will launch at 60 focused colleges before a wider national rollout in the spring semester, January 2016.
POLITICS
Blue Nation Review (BNR)
As at June 2015, BNR had 4.4 million MUV’s spending an average of 4.8 minutes on the site per visit. BNR’s content through Facebook now reaches approximately 129 million people monthly and within 12 months its Facebook following and engagement has already overtaken a number of longstanding political publication competitors. A third-party growth and engagement analysis undertaken by TrackMaven found that amongst competing liberal or Democratic publishers, BNR’s content drives approximately 40% of Facebook engagement and that its fan base is growing 3x faster than its other fastest growing competitor. Trusted content increases user engagement and ultimately the value of users, and the growth in MUV’s, reach and engagement supports that BNR’s content is being recognized as influential and trusted by its readers.
BNR is our political news hub that offers a hip and irreverent commentary of the latest news, as generated by our internal political team and from a variety of outside contributors. BNR’s reputation continues to strengthen and BNR is regularly approached to conduct exclusive interviews and articles.
During the June quarter, BNR conducted an exclusive interview with Bree Newsome and released her first public comments following her removal of the Confederate Flag in South Carolina. Her statements as released exclusively to BNR were restated in worldwide press and referenced to BNR, including publications New York Magazine, Mother Jones, Essence Magazine, The Washington Post, Mashable, Jezebel and Bet.com.
During July, BNR participated as lead sponsor and partnered with Facebook for the annual Netroots Nation political conference; the largest progressive political gathering in the U.S. As lead sponsor and through a partnership with Facebook, BNR was able to conduct exclusive interviews, streamed online and through Facebook’s network.
CONTENT SYNDICATION
A number of content syndication deals were also executed throughout the March and June quarters and MOKO content will now be syndicated through the below publications:
? New York Post
? The Daily Beast
? News One
? NBC O&O
? The Weather Channel
Under the content syndication deals, these groups are granted publication rights to select MOKO content over the course of 12 months, in exchange for a set ongoing monthly fee payable to us. Importantly under each arrangement, the publication of MOKO content is limited to a set word count (for example 150 words) so it effectively acts as a preview of an article. If the reader wants to read the full article, they must click it and will be automatically directed to the MOKO website. This can in turn lead to the reader, who has been channelled to MOKO through a third party publication, consuming multiple articles on MOKO’s sites to drive engagement metrics and potentially lead to a returning MUV.
ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
RunHaven
RunHaven experienced significant user growth over the quarter with MUV’s increasing 75% to 2.1 million at the end of June and its content reaching 23.1 million people on Facebook. Over 70% of RunHaven’s audience is female and the average time spent on the site is 5.9 minutes per visit, which is substantially above industry averages
.
RunHaven focuses on creating quality grassroots running content on web and provides fun and trusted health, fitness, and well-being content - from workout tips and nutritional guidance, to product reviews and suggestions for young women and moms.
RunHaven has approximately 522,000 Facebook likes and within the space of 12 months has become one of the fastest-growing online media brands for health and fitness enthusiasts and the second largest running community of Facebook, behind longstanding publication “Runner’s World”, which has been in operation for over 45 years. Prior to RunHaven, the running community was largely male dominated with running content created by men, and predominantly aimed at men. RunHaven disrupted this market by providing content written by women, for women, and the demand for this product can already be seen by the growth in social following and MUV’s.
During the June quarter a content syndication deal was executed with the Weather Channel, which will publish RunHaven content over the course of 12 months in exchange for a set ongoing monthly fee payable to us. Direct sponsorship advertising campaigns also occurred with Hoka, an international running shoe company, and Nathan, an electrolyte nutritional replacement company, whereby both companies purchased the advertising rights to RunHaven for a set period of time.
The advertising campaigns were highly successful and we are now in discussions with other large active lifestyle brands who are interested in participating in similar campaigns.
RunHaven content has also evolved over the quarter to include short video productions. To date, these productions have been highly successful in terms of engagement and the number of views. As MUV’s increase these will be monetized as certain brands prefer to advertise through high quality and highly engaged short videos.
MILLENNIAL WOMEN / CROSS POLINATION
Tagroom
As at the end of June, Tagroom had 3.6 million MUV’s and a Facebook social reach of just over 27 million people. 80% of users are highly engaged females who spend an average time of 4.3 minutes on the site per visit. Tagroom is a news and viral infotainment online community exploring creative ideas and shareable entertainment in categories such as style, food, home, kids, and health. Tagroom targets millennial women who are highly attractive to brands and advertisers for their hefty control of household income, and its users can be cross-pollinated across community groups to increase user engagement and drive user metrics higher.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
The June quarter reported net operating cash flows of –A$4.734 million against customer receipts of A$0.913 million and A$0.95 million in a Research and Development rebate. A$7.119 million in capital was also raised predominantly from the exercise of ASX listed options. The negative cash flow reflects the continued strategy of focusing on building our user base to gain market share rather than focusing on short-term revenue.
In July 2015, we filed a Form F-3 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which enables us to raise up to US$40M in the U.S. over a three year period. This amount is effectively a maximum limit and does not necessarily need to be raised, but allows flexibility if required over the next three years.

MOKO Social Media | Lifestyle
Project Overview
REC*IT creates a one-stop shop for college intramural sports leagues to engage with others who share the same passion. With its intuitive interface and built-in social network, users can keep track of game schedules, view stats, and communicate with team members to coordinate practices with ease. REC*IT helps its users get the most out of staying active in college!
Organisation
MOKO Social Media
Team
MOKO Social Media is at the forefront of the next generation in social media and publishing, providing innovative products and content to enable communities to engage and interact. MOKO is a platform publishing company that provides tailored content for high value, niche user groups. Mobile devices, including cell phones and tablets, account for 90 percent of user engagement.
Project Brief
For many students, college is a hectic time. Between part-time jobs, classwork, and extracurricular activities, students’ schedules are packed to the brim. Despite this, many go the extra mile for the sports they are passionate about and join an intramural league. While this might seem easy enough on the surface, it can be difficult to figure out the logistics behind simply getting to the right field at the right time. Then there’s the social aspect to navigate. Many students join a team to meet other people, but it can be intimidating to introduce yourself post-game.
Enter REC*IT, an app that aims to simplify the process of scheduling, coordination, and communication so athletes can focus on what’s important to them: the games. The app lets students easily manage games among multiple leagues, as well as chat with team members without having to balance multiple group chats and email chains. REC*IT also connects students to the university at large, offering a first look at news from campus sources, as well as the college recreation center. REC*IT allows students to stay on top of what’s going on, so nothing can get in the way of the big game.
With millennials constantly relying on their smartphones to stay connected, REC*IT saw the perfect opportunity to help them fuel their existing passion for intermural sports on a platform they were comfortable with.
Project Need
What separates REC*IT from the rest of the pack is its ability to connect users of a niche community in one convenient mobile location. No other app brings together users with the same interests, with the same level of technical coordination, and an intuitive social component like REC*IT.
REC*IT is also in the unique position to provide valuable data (albeit not personal data) to advertisers who wish to market their products to a highly-engaged niche group. For example, sports brands get much more value out of advertising on REC*IT than they would elsewhere, because the users of REC*IT are likely already making purchases of sports gear and athletic wear.
User Experience
Once the app is downloaded, users can search for their universities and instantly become connected to all sports happening on campus. REC*IT is the official app of IMLeagues - a web-based tool students use to manage their intramural and rec sports lives - so all the great functions and features they're accustomed to using are available and easy to find and use within REC*IT.
Project Marketing
REC*IT targets the directors of rec facilities and programming on college campuses. These influencers act as gatekeepers to their student participants and are extremely receptive to a tool that makes their jobs easier and more productive. One of the biggest pain points for rec directors is ensuring that the amount of play validates the money spent on equipment, fields, etc. – so they are always looking for ways to increase intramural play and decrease the amount of costly forfeits. This is exactly the benefit that REC*IT provides.
REC*IT has expanded to more than 950 U.S. campuses and 230,000 active users in less than a year without significant marketing investment – meaning that rec directors and students that use it spread the word on campus.
In fact, REC*IT understands this and invests in building mutually-beneficial relationships with rec directors and key influencers by explaining the value of having their audience on the app and providing app training and ongoing customer service.
Project Privacy
REC*IT pulls data from its official partner, IMLeagues, which is a web-based tool students use to manage their intramural and rec sports lives. Students need only to log into the app with their existing IMLeagues account to access their rec and intramural schedules. REC*IT never stores any customer data on our servers or within the app. We take privacy very seriously and require minimum information from the user.
Lifestyle
Apps have forever changed how we live our lives. We’re looking for those apps that help us live better, smarter, have fun and just get more out of life whether that be cooking, gardening, renovating, shopping, sport, dating, hobbies or searching for your first home.

Quantcast -Top Ranking-
This list ranks websites based on the number of people in the United States who visit each site within a month. It includes sites with estimated traffic as well as sites with traffic that Quantcast has independently verified. Quantcast directly measures site traffic through the implementation of the Quantcast asynchronous tag on each web site.
Most quantified sites in Quantcast that are in the top 200 have Multiple Websites which add up for one Rating based on monthly People count. The total People Count for RunHaven and BlueNationReview is more than 7.5 Million visits per month and growing over 3 Million a month, month on month. That would put MOKOSOCIALMEDIA in the top 200 Websites if counted together instead of separate. :):):)
This growth and Rating would be exciting as a stand alone Count. But this number doesn't tell the whole Story because there are no numbers for REC*IT, VOYCIT, TAGROOM and the others. I am sure that the next quarterly Report will reflect this growth.
Being in the top 200 USA Website Rating list is a big Thing.:cool::cool::cool:

Even I am surprised at the user growth in mobile devices. Huge. Bought a few more shares in the USA today. I was able to sell some at the high in Aussieland last year and now I bought back in at what I hope to be a low for the rest of the year. Based on the huge growth of These two sites, I fully expect REC*IT to be a hit also. Monthly uniques at BlueNationReview are looking to hit between 5 and 6 Million up from 1.5 Million. Remember, Rankings are separate for Mobile Devices, Desktop and some Rankings are global and USA only.

Statistics on mobile usage and adoption to inform your mobile marketing strategy
"Mobile to overtake fixed Internet access by 2014" was the huge headline summarising the bold prediction from 2008 by Mary Meeker, an analyst at Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers who reviews technology trends annually in May (see latest KPCB mobile technology trends).
Well, we're now past the mobile Tipping Point as this report from comScore shows. So it's no longer a case of asking whether mobile marketing important, we know it is! It's now a question of using the statistics to understand how consumers behave when using different types of mobile devices and what their preferences are.

This list ranks Quantified websites based on the number of people in the United States who visit each site within a month on a mobile web browser. Mobile web traffic is measured from web browsers on mobile devices, but not mobile applications. The Mobile Web ranking only includes sites that participate in the Quantcast Measurement program and have their traffic directly measured via a Quantcast tag.
90 days ago BlueNationReview and RunHaven were so far down on the MOBILE DEVICE USE LIST that I didn't want to post the Information as it was like being proud of a Popcorn poot. Nothing. :) :) :) I only used the site to check to see when and if, MKB/MOKO would be taking off. I only checked every two weeks or so. The stats are changing so fast now (POSITIVE) that it is hard to believe. MOBILE DEVICE USE has increased an incredible amount. Thousands of positions higher than when I started to look at the stats.
You can see Muscle and Fitness still is ahead of our MOKO/MKB sites, but not for Long with this rapid growth...................Mobile Social Media is hard to understand for most, but all understand growth and usage.

The best time to buy a stock is before the market discovers it, not after.

Since 2002, the firm has published an annual list of recommended stocks as well as comprehensive reports on select companies throughout the year. LD Micro concentrates on finding, researching, and investing in companies that are overlooked by institutional investors
This was very interesting to read in the chairman's quarterly Review. MOKO/MKB
Financial Summary
In the March quarter MOKO reported net operating cashflows of –A$4.7million on customer receipts of A$1.58million. These results reflect the continuing strategy to focus on building the user base. The results also include one-off payments and other abnormal items of A$2.6million.
In June 2015 approximately 130 million options over ordinary shares fall due. These are priced at A$0.05. MOKO expects to raise approximately A$6.5million in capital that will be used for ongoing working capital. In addition, MOKO received a Research & Development rebate of A$0.95million in April 2015 which can also be used to fund working capital.
Management gave this Information out Long ago but always nice to Review it. So like they say, V SHALL C!
More here in the chairman's quarterly Review:
REC*IT now reaches more than 950 US colleges, providing access to more than 11 million university students. As of April, REC*IT has captured more than 212,000 students in this traditionally challenging market and is now the leading mobile app in college sports and recreational activities.
The licensing agreement with IMLeagues has also created significant barriers to entry for competitors.
Engagement is remarkably high with 74% of users returning to the app within 24 hours and 93% within the month. These engagement metrics are particularly attractive to potential advertisers and will enable MOKO to charge premium advertising rates, compared with less engaged audiences.
REC*IT 2.0
The development of version 2 of REC*IT is progressing well and is expected to be launched in June 2015, ahead of the new school year in September. REC*IT 2.0, as it will be known, will provide a number of improvements:
> Additional features and functionality enabling the offer of fitness-related and other ad-hoc campus recreational activities.
> Access to in-app discovery of teams, events and activities, including what’s on at users’ campus gym
> Registration will now be possible for teams, clubs and fitness activities
> Registration issues experienced by certain colleges will be addressed using the Innosoft Fusion technology to which MOKO acquired access in February 2015
At present, students are required to register for intramural activities on IML’s website. REC*IT 2.0 will allow students to log in and register on the spot (hence the term “in-app registration”), positioning the app as an essential tool, and improving convenience for students wishing to discover what sporting and recreational activities are available at their campus, on their mobile device.
College campus recreational directors run orientation and registration evenings at the start of the semester and REC*IT 2.0 will allow students, particularly freshmen, to log in and register for activities immediately at these events. MOKO has established a strong connection with these college directors who will assist with promotion of REC*IT 2.0 during these college orientations. Their response to the proposed REC*IT 2.0 has been extremely positive.
Social Media, From Desktop to Mobile 18 May, 2015
By: Danny
http://www.financialbuzz.com/social-media-from-desktop-to-mobile-271766
This earnings season has ended for almost all social media public companies and was one of the most noticeable disappointments this quarter for the overall market. In particular, all four of the largest social media companies have tumbled. Some analysts claimed that the selloff of social media stocks was exaggerated, and a quick rebound will happen any day, but for the most part they were wrong. The strength of the stock indexes, which are trading near all times high, didn’t help either.
Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) fell about 20%, LinkedIn Corp (NYSE: LNKD) plummeted by more than 23%, Yelp Inc (NYSE: YELP) crushed by approximately 30%. Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), the strongest company and slowest mover of the bunch, declined in value by only 2% on April 23rd, a day after the earnings were reported. Facebook continued its bearish momentum until May 12th and by the end falling more than 8% overall. Facebook has the advantage of clever monetization including new lines of income, like video advertising, which makes the company more tolerable for missteps. The one stock out of the four that rebounded almost completely back to its pre earnings trading levels is YELP, and that is only after the company announced that they are looking for a buyer. It had nothing to do with performance.
The problems with Wall Street’s favorite internet stocks are slowdown in user growth, in local advertising contracts, and weakening subscribing base, depending on the business model of the company. These problems resulted in slower projections for the rest of the year, which is what the stocks were punished for. The reason for this all is rather simple; the primary ways social media companies make money are becoming less practical as consumer habits are rapidly changing. Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) reported recently that mobile searches way exceeded desktop searches for the first time in the United States and in nine other countries as well. With the exception of Facebook, none of the other social media companies figured out how to leverage the new mobile habits of the current internet junkie.
Small companies who started building platforms for the mobile market as a default might be a head of the game. There are small cap companies that are trying to enter the global social media market in different creative ways. Moko Social Media Ltd (NASDAQ: MOKO) for example, is approaching the business differently than any other company. Generally speaking, companies create a website and then try to attract a large audience to monetize the site. Moko decided to first find the audience, analyze the demographic needs, while creating efficient ways to communicate with one another, and ultimately building a social media platform specifically for that particular community. Moko monetizes its apps from sponsorships, content syndication, social network distribution, advertising and other monetization of the app based platforms.
Moko Social Media is describing itself as a platform publishing company that is at the forefront of the next generation in social media with 90% engagement through mobile devices. The Australian based company is targeting communities of students, political supporters, active lifestyle participants and millennial women. For each audience, Moko has designed a tailored app (some more popular than others) with total Monthly Unique Visitors (MUV) of 8.1 million.
Audience App MUV as of 31 March
Students REC*IT 200,000
Political BNR 3.7 million
Active Lifestyles RunHaven 1.2 million
Millennial Women Tagroom 3 million
This is far away from being compared to Facebook, but it’s important to notice that MOKO’s user base and social reach continue to grow at a very impressive rate as MUVs have increased by 60% since December 2014. Moko also has attracted a number of large companies to advertise on their apps, especially on their most popular ones, BNR and Tagroom. Among the list of clients there are names like Canon (NYSE: CAJ), Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), Corona Extra, The Rolling Stones Magazine, Bulleit Bourbon Whisky and more.
Moko is a very young social media company, but their technology and platforms have a proven concept. Now judging by the impressive Monthly Unique Visitors growth during the company’s most recent quarter, Moko might have just solved the problem that other Social Media companies are facing, or is it too soon to tell? Stay tuned for additional coverage.

Moko Social Media : Blue Nation Review Growth & Engagement Analysis

MOKO's news and conversation hub for political supporters, Blue Nation Review (BNR), has had a growth and engagement analysis undertaken by third party competitive intelligence platform, TrackMaven, with the results ranking BNR higher than political publishing peers on a number of levels.
Commenting on the results, TrackMaven Senior Vice President, Jamey Jeff, stated that "Despite a much smaller audience size than competing political publishers, BNR's content drives around 40 percent of the Facebook engagement amongst those same peers. TrackMaven rarely sees instances where publishers are able to so significantly punch above their weight to earn such a meaningful share of audience interactions relative to peers with such larger audiences. BNR may not be a small fish for long. BNR currently drives 60 percent more engagement from its audience than its peer set, and is growing its audience at roughly 3x the rate of these peers."
The results show a rapid expansion of BNR's audience over the last 90 days, growing its Facebook fan base 3x faster than the next fastest growing peer. BNR's content is also driving approximately 40 percent of the Facebook engagement amongst competitor publishers and significantly outperformed all others in terms of engagement relative to following, exceeding the closest competitor by over 60 percent. It also increased its Twitter following by nearly 60 percent in the same period.
"This growth is extremely promising for MOKO and the passionate community that is building through BNR," said Ian Rodwell, CEO of MOKO. "We are pleased that so many people find the caliber of our content so valuable, and are excited to watch the numbers continue to soar as BNR becomes the platform of choice for political passion, discussion, debate, and awareness."
BNR primarily attributes its growth and engagement to offering a group of engaged political enthusiasts a wide variety of multi-media content on topical issues. This fosters a community of like-minded peers to discuss and share issues critical to them. BNR's age demographic is 44 percent between the ages of 18-44 and 38 percent between the ages of 45-64. It is also nearly even between female and male participants.
