NFC Mobile Marketing Customers to Benefit from
Upgraded UI/UX and Enhanced Digital Experience Builder


OSLO, Norway, April 27, 2018 - Thin Film Electronics ASA ("Thinfilm") (OSE: THIN; OTCQX: TFECY), a global leader in NFC (near field communication) mobile marketing solutions, today announced the release of its newly designed CNECT(TM) Cloud Platform 2.0. The upgrade features expanded analytics capabilities and an enhanced digital experience builder, giving marketers and agencies the ability to easily and effectively create and measure innovative experiences delivered through the tap of a smartphone. The experiences are triggered when consumers interact with NFC-enabled digital touchpoints integrated with products or packaging using their Android or iOS devices. Using the new platform, brands can easily digitize products, create and deliver unique mobile experiences, and view real-time, interactive analytics that provide meaningful and actionable insights.

Key improvements related to CNECT Cloud Platform 2.0 include:

"Thinfilm is committed to bringing the benefits of digital consumer marketing to the physical world by enabling the creation of NFC-based experiences dynamically and at scale," said Christian Delay, EVP Software for Thinfilm. "Because mobile marketing is all about understanding context and achieving results, we combined a fresh user interface with a platform integration strategy to connect decision makers to more actionable data in an intuitive environment."

The CNECT Cloud Platform initially launched in February 2017 as an integral component of Thinfilm's end-to-end NFC mobile marketing solutions. In March, Thinfilm announced the CNECT platform's integration capabilities with Adobe Analytics Cloud to further empower brand marketers focused on NFC mobile marketing. To date, nearly 500 companies have registered on the CNECT platform.
