You learn something new everyday writing about the ad business. Did you know the biggest thing on the minds of ad agencies and brands is these days is…wait for it…how to monetize WAP site. Yes, we kid you not. This, according to a recent press release from iLoop which has partnered with Third Screen Media to “enable mobile web sites to have Internet ads.” Stellar!

According to the release, the partnership “eliminates the ‘how do I create the ad and make it mobile’ question and Third Screen eliminates the ‘how do I offer automated, relevant and targeted advertising optimized for each individual campaign’ question.”

Hmm, and we thought the biggest question from agencies and brands today was “Who’s paying for my trip to Cannes?”
