“Through our partnership with Mediaocean, we’ve scaled our world-class solutions and customer service to reach some of the largest agencies in the industry. YuMe’s enhanced TV solution gives TV buyers digital data advantages including advanced targeting and audience segmentation, and it allows integrated, cross-channel campaigns, optimizing for audience, reach, frequency, recency — at scale,” said Michael Hudes, Chief Revenue Officer, YuMe. “Further, when linear TV ad rates inevitably rise or inventory thins, TV buyers are able to extend buying to digital, capturing a cross-device audience by reaching consumers through the variety of media they use, from connected TV to laptop to tablet.”
“TV and digital video buying teams are working more closely together than ever before,” said Ramsey McGrory, Chief Revenue Officer at Mediaocean. “Our partnership with YuMe provides easy access for local broadcast buyers and brands that need a simple way to leverage multiple screens to tell a unified story. We’re happy to partner with YuMe, who is aligned with our strategy to develop solutions that leverage TV architecture and allow both TV and digital video to be used effectively in a single campaign.”
