The collaboration between FreeWheel and CereOne marks a pivotal moment in the Indian advertising industry, bringing innovative CTV Advertising solutions and unparalleled opportunities for brands to engage with audiences in the evolving digital landscape.
FreeWheel, a Comcast company and the global technology platform for the television advertising industry, has solidified a strategic partnership with CereOne, one of India’s leading digital media companies, as it seeks to accelerate its presence on the Indian market. As part of this collaboration, FreeWheel will provide CereOne with access to its digital full stack, facilitating seamless onboarding of online video and Connected TV inventory across India’s burgeoning premium video media landscape.
CereOne has, in the last few years, extended its offerings from native-only ads to content marketing, digital out-of-home and premium video. FreeWheel’s digital full stack will offer CereOne unified and holistic decisioning on how to monetize content, curate audiences and ensure brand safety.
