Dramatic Changes For YouTube Advertising
YouTube will potentially allow creators to sell ad space on their own videos. YouTube has taken the first step and created a pilot program of partner-sold ads– much like what NBC has been granted since 2010.

OOH promises 180M+ monthly impressions, providing ad content day-parting, multi-touch advertising and performance reports. Advertisers will have to manually buy their ad-space directly from Uber OOH, but come summer the company will introduce programmatic advertising.
