Digital Turbine Inc (NASDAQ: APPS) and mobile on-demand hiring platform Moonlighting announced they have partnered in order to accelerate the marketing of Moonlighting’s app that connects new job opportunities and business tools to Americans whose businesses or jobs have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis. This partnership makes sense as Digital Turbine is known as the leading mobile platform that connects operators and OEMs with mobile advertisers.
As part of an effort to help displaced workers find jobs, Moonlighting recently announced access to its jobs database and business management tools is free until further notice. And the company’s searchable jobs database features over two million gig, contract, part-time, freelance, and independent work opportunities, including over 200,000 work-from-home jobs.
Digital Turbine will make Moonlighting’s Android app available on select mobile devices in communities most affected by COVID-19. And Digital Turbine’s broad reach and leading technology platform enable brands and app developers to engage users through highly effective on-device media. The turnkey placement on newly activated devices provides easier and one-stop access and scale not available with other platforms.
With a blockchain-supported platform, Moonlighting offers a full turnkey solution with a suite of tools to empower millions of workers and recruiters worldwide.
“Helping people whose jobs have been impacted by COVID-19 quickly find work is now our mission,” said Jeff Tennery, Moonlighting’s CEO & Founder. “By creating unique opportunities for users to discover content directly on devices, Digital Turbine’s platform delivers a better user experience, unlike traditional media which is often noisy and inefficient.”
Launched in 2014 to serve the gig economy, Moonlighting has grown to serve over 800,000 independent and freelance workers. Plus it has also been featured in over 150 news media sites and remains one of the fastest-growing independent worker platforms.
Digital Turbine simplifies content discovery and delivers it directly to the device. And the company’s on-device media platform powers frictionless app and content discovery, user acquisition and engagement, operational efficiency, and monetization opportunities. In terms of major milestones, Digital Turbine’s technology platform has been adopted over 40 mobile operators and OEMs and it has delivered more than 3 billion app preloads for tens of thousands of advertising campaigns.
“I’m pleased to work together with Moonlighting to increase awareness of their app that assists those in need with job listings and support tools to quickly post gigs and help others find work,” explained Matt Tubergen, EVP of Digital Turbine Media. “Our platform engages users directly on device—to be discovered when they want and how they want. It’s simply a more direct and expedient route for getting apps directly in the hands of end-users.”
