YFP will also offer publishers turnkey access to a variety of integrated demand sources, including leading brands that work directly with YuMe, demand-side platforms (DSPs) including YuMe for Advertisers (YFA) and other major third-party DSPs, providing extensive demand for incremental revenue opportunities.
