Health Pack Games: Benefitting from the switch to Nokia Ad Exchange
Health Pack Games creates physics based games and has discovered the power of NAX. Michael Kloubkov, the owner of Health Pack Games, says that since they switched to NAX, advertising revenue has jumped from a few cents a day up to 800 dollars a day.

He is also very impressed with the in-house campaigns feature — which enables you to cross-promote your apps and websites.
