Its existing SMART platform lets publishers launch white-label applications on iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, and Nokia devices, while the newly announced MediaEverywhere product extends reach to any HTML5-capable smartphone, tablet, or desktop browser. MediaEverywhere promises faster development cycles and greater monetization through audience intelligence and personalization. The company serves over 380 media brands in 12 countries, including CBS Interactive, Conde Nast, Sports Illustrated, and The Wall Street Journal. Collectively, Polar-powered apps have generated more than 1.6 billion pageviews from 11 million users. Headquartered in Toronto with offices in San Francisco and Dubai, the firm plans to double headcount from 40 to 80 and open new offices in New York and London using the fresh capital. Total funding now stands at $9 million.
