FreeWheel is an American company that provides advertising technology solutions for the digital video advertising industry. Founded in 2007, the company is a subsidiary of Comcast and is headquartered in New York City.
History
[edit]FreeWheel was founded in 2007 by Jon Heller, Doug Knopper, and Diane Yu, all former executives at DoubleClick.[1] The company was established to address the complexities of video ad management in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
On March 1, 2014, Comcast announced its acquisition of FreeWheel for approximately $320 million.[2] [3]The acquisition was aimed at bolstering Comcast's digital advertising capabilities.[4]
Since becoming a subsidiary of Comcast, FreeWheel has expanded its global footprint, opening offices in Europe and Asia to cater to a growing international clientele.
Integration with NBCUniversal
[edit] |
Following Comcast's acquisition of FreeWheel, the company became a key component in the advertising operations of NBCUniversal, also a Comcast subsidiary. FreeWheel's technology is deeply integrated with NBCUniversal's digital and linear television advertising platforms, enabling seamless ad management and delivery across a wide range of media channels.
One of the significant integrations is with NBCUniversal's One Platform, which allows advertisers to plan, buy, and measure ad campaigns across both digital and linear TV inventory in a unified manner. FreeWheel's Monetization Rights Management (MRM) platform powers this integration, providing robust tools for ad targeting, inventory management, and performance analytics.
Additionally, FreeWheel collaborates with NBCUniversal on advanced advertising initiatives, including the use of data-driven targeting, addressable advertising, and programmatic ad sales. This partnership enhances NBCUniversal's ability to offer advertisers precision targeting and scalability across its extensive portfolio of networks and digital properties.[5]
This integration has been pivotal in expanding NBCUniversal's ad capabilities, allowing the company to compete more effectively in the increasingly digital and data-driven advertising landscape.[6]
