App development company, MEA Mobile, has opened its first Australian office, offering mobile application development and digital advertising services to Australian companies.

One of the early registered developers in the world for iPhone, MEA Mobile has been creating number one ranking apps for all mobile platforms for more than six years.

Specialising in mobile photo and video products, MEA Mobile is behind photo and video apps including iSupr8, which is one of the top 10 apps worldwide for video making, with well over one million users, and Printicular which allows users to print their pictures directly from social media sites on their smartphone and be delivered to their door. The Printicular app currently delivers around 250,000 printed photos a month.

“We are thrilled to be able to extend our reach and offer our services locally in Australia. We’ve already worked on a number of projects for Australian companies from our New Zealand office and look forward to expanding MEA’s brand presence in this market,” said Rod Macfarlane, MEA Mobile Chief Executive.

The company has appointed David King as managing director for Australia, who will work closely with MEA Mobile’s offices in New Zealand and the US.

“MEA offers one of the highest standards and quickest turnaround times in app development, web development and digital advertising services and I am very much looking forward to helping them establish a thriving business in Australia,” said David King.

The team from MEA Mobile have been developing apps in New Zealand since 2007, and now offers a wide range of mobile services including mobile advertising, mobile development (multi-platform), marketing and branding, PR and communications, film production, mobile web development, social media, and animation for web and digital mobile devices.
