Brown Printing Acquires Mobile Marketer Nellymoser

WASECA, MN—Brown Printing announced the acquisition of Nellymoser, a Boston-based mobile marketing and technology company. Nellymoser specializes in rich media delivery, having deployed over 800 print-to-digital campaigns in 2012 for 50 of the top 100 magazines.

The company offers both a mobile companion application platform with self-service tools and packaged print-to-digital solutions, which are then deployed by their customers as cross media campaigns. Campaigns typically include one or more brand activation points such as invisible watermarks, images, NFC and QR codes that are placed in magazines, catalogs, or on product packaging. Consumers scan the printed material with their mobile smartphones, thereby activating additional interactive content or digital direct response mobile marketing.

Nellymoser will operate as a division of Brown, a Gruner + Jahr Company, and will maintain its operations in the Boston area. Brown will retain the core Nellymoser team and structure to grow the business by continuing to deliver industry-leading mobile solutions.
