Tresensa is moving into playable ads.

TreSensa releases Creative Builder for mobile devs to create playable ads

TreSensa has launched Creative Builder, a design tool that enables game developers and marketers to easily create and distribute playable ads, or ads that enable players to instantly try mobile games and then download them.

Rob Grossberg, CEO of New York-based TreSensa, said in an email that the tech is becoming easier to use at the right time because playable ads are going mainstream, as evidence by endorsements of the general technology by companies such as Google, which is using them for the Google Play store. Facebook also launched playable ads last year.
