YuMe, a of digital video brand advertising solutions, has struck an exclusive partnership with TV manufacturer Vestel, and launched with a major branding campaign for O2. The campaign debuts YuMe Captivate, a new ad unit designed specifically for Connected TV.

In addition to premiering the YuMe Captivate ad unit on CTVs, O2 is also the first European brand to run on Vestel’s Smart TVs, due to an exclusive partnership between YuMe and Vestel.
