PubMatic, an independent technology company delivering digital advertising’s supply chain of the future, announced a new integration partnership with FreeWheel, a global technology platform for the television advertising industry.
Through this enhanced integration, PubMatic’s Activate will now have direct access – through FreeWheel – to premium publisher connected television ad inventory.
This new partnership will bring about two key benefits and new capabilities for the TV ad ecosystem:
- Ad buyers working with PubMatic will now have an enhanced and streamlined ability to transact across a larger and more diversified pool of premium CTV ad inventory.
- FreeWheel publishers will have access to unique campaign budgets only available through Activate.
In doing so, the two companies aim to provide increased interoperability, efficiency and transparency for buyers and sellers of premium CTV ad inventory at scale.

We hope that by doing so, we can drive more growth, momentum and innovation in today’s TV ad ecosystem,” said Jon Mansell, VP, U.S. Head of Demand, FreeWheel.
