Case Study: TED achieves global app growth and award-winning mobile experiences with Mercury Intermedia

TED reaches over 20 million installs with Mercury Intermedia

The nonprofit organization TED sought to expand its global reach by bringing its inspirational talk videos to Android and TV platforms. They partnered with Mercury Intermedia, a vendor on Google’s list of preferred Android developers, to design and develop their flagship apps due to Mercury's expertise.

Mercury Intermedia provided an embedded team that collaborated with TED for nine years, delivering over 100 app updates. The solution included extensive localization for 20 UI languages and 100 subtitle languages, three major redesigns, and integration of features like background audio playback. This partnership resulted in over 20 million installs, a consistent user rating over 4.5 stars, multiple Google Play "App of the Year" awards, and a Webby Award for Mercury Intermedia's work.
