SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — YouAppi, a leading growth marketing platform for premium mobile brands, today announced robust upgrades to its highly-regarded 360 Platform, initially launched last year and now in use by nearly 500 of the world’s most prominent global brands. The 360 Platform addresses five critical needs for today’s marketers: user acquisition, brand video, rewarded video, re-engagement and social media. This strategic upgrade boosts the platform’s capabilities, including connections to programmatic demand, additional ad units, more stringent fraud prevention measures and backend enhancements.

The YouAppi 360 Platform employs powerful technical capabilities to ensure brands connect with the most relevant mobile users in their market.

In addition, the 360 Platform offers greater fraud protection, improved brand safety with increased bot detection and prevention, as well as a new partnership with marketing analytics platform Moat to ensure brands receive greater ad viewability.

“YouAppi is a strong partner, helping us promote different kinds of apps in a very effective and efficient way,” said Xinyue Zhai, UA manager of Cheetah Mobile, YouAppi customer and creator of some of the world’s most popular apps. “The company has the traffic we need and is always able to find the right users. We look forward to incorporating these new features and our continued relationship with the YouAppi team.”

“Mobile is undergoing near constant transition, as are the needs and interests of mobile users. New privacy laws across the globe highlight the necessity of creating a genuine partnership with the consumer, using data they’re comfortable sharing and doing so in the most intelligent and transparent way possible,” said Moshe Vaknin, CEO of YouAppi. “This is why we’ve been laser-focused on providing the latest technological advancements and capabilities through our 360 Platform, to ensure marketers can be both agile and effective in today’s ever-changing mobile landscape.”
