Tyroo Media Pvt Ltd is stepping up its focus on interactive, rich media ads in a bid to enhance its revenues. After the launch of its rich media ad format VooDoo in partnership with digital advertising firm MediaMind, Tyroo Media expects that rich media ads will help rake in 25 per cent of its total revenues in the next fiscal (2011-2012).

The company has also announced an exclusive partnership with Cricket20.com, the official website partner for IPLCricketLive.com. Under this deal, Tyroo will deliver premium and exclusive sponsorship slots to advertisers.

After the recent hire of Quasar's business director Piyush Rathi as its national sales head and the induction of Geetu Ahuja as head of performance delivery, the company is now ramping up its sales force, in tune with its increased focus on rich media advertising.
