Skype services enable consumers to connect with their friends, family, and colleagues for frequent, long, and engaging conversations.

  • Half of Skype sessions last more than 30 minutes1
  • Over half of the Skype audience uses these services twice a week or more2
  • Users feel Skype is a more personal experience than Facebook or Twitter1

These consumer conversations bring opportunities for your campaigns to make a valuable impression with a large and mobile Skype audience that is growing twice as fast as the world’s population3. Skype helps you tell your brand story at scale, across PCs, TVs, and mobile devices through rich, engaging ad experiences. And, the addition of Skype on Windows 8 gives you a great new people-centric platform to tell your brand story.
