SinglePoint launches mobile ad platform for TV campaigns: Bellevue-based SinglePoint announced today it has launched SingleBrand, a platform that allows mobile ads to be included in TV text campaigns.

The ad can offer things such as click-to-call, click-to-link, and click-to-SMS. It can also support ticketing, coupons, video streaming and content download. SinglePoint would not say which of its current customers are using its ad services, but said in general, it has processed almost 100 million interactive transactions during the past year.
