FreeWheel, a Comcast company and a technology platform for the television advertising industry, has solidified a strategic partnership with CereOne, a digital media company, 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 the onboarding of online video and connected TV inventory across India's 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 decision-making on how to monetise content, curate audiences, and ensure brand safety, as per a media statement.
