“People are able to access the Internet on devices other than computers, and these up-and-coming technologies will present new advertising opportunities,” said Jonn Behrman, chief executive officer of Beyond Interactive.
The company is currently developing ads for its clients, to be deployed on wireless devices. It’s also helping clients develop wireless Web sites. Beyond Interactive also has developed ads to be embedded in software.
