REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – YuMe, Inc. (NYSE: YUME), a proven partner for video advertising leadership and innovation, launched its People-Based Marketing Suite to enable cross-screen audience targeting, sequential messaging, and attribution for U.S. audiences.

YuMe announces its People-Based Marketing Suite, delivering #video #ad campaigns designed for mass personalization.

“We believe the future of our industry hinges, in large part, upon the adoption of data-centric, people-based marketing strategies that place consumers first,” said Michael Hudes, Chief Revenue Officer, YuMe. “We are proud to introduce our new solution to help brands not only target and reach their consumers, but influence them with relevant messaging that builds upon interactions and prior messaging exposure. By including first-party, people-based data within our programmatic media buying technology, we expect to deliver higher performing branding campaigns for our clients who are retargeting and increasing engagement.”

Hudes continued, “To help us deliver on our people-based video vision, we’ve partnered with Drawbridge to leverage their Connected Consumer Graph® and ensure we have critical data underpinning our solution that allows us to connect audiences across PC, mobile, and connected TV.”

The Drawbridge Connected Consumer Graph includes more than 1.3 billion consumers across more than 3.3 billion devices – representing 75% of the global active devices used to access the internet. In addition to its scale, the Drawbridge Connected Consumer Graph is also extremely precise, having been found by Nielsen to be up to 97.3% precise in connecting consumers across devices. Drawbridge works with a breadth of agencies, enterprises, and brands – including Publicis Groupe, Foursquare, Samsung, LiveRamp, Adform, Throtle, and M&C Saatchi Mobile.

“We believe digital video is the next big market for people-based marketing, as video migrates from brand-only campaigns, to an essential strategy for retargeting and direct response,” said Winston Crawford, COO, Drawbridge. “We are happy to partner with YuMe to bring to market a strong cross-device, people-based identity management solution to the digital video landscape. With our Connected Consumer Graph underpinning YuMe’s new product suite, advertisers can now more easily reach their ideal audiences.”
