Pixel Media also states that a Comscore study shows in-text advertising delivers “five times greater brand awareness and twice as much lift in brand purchase intent".

WordSnap is currently set up in 30 major partnership websites in Hong Kong including Discuss, Uwants, Sina Hong Kong, DCFever and Commercial Radio Interactive. It is expected to extend services to other markets in Asia.

Sony Ericsson, Citibank, Ocean Park, HTC, Nokia, Venetian Macao and Hong Kong College of Technology are some of the clients that have already signed up for WordSnap.
