The Nielsen DMP and FreeWheel’s server-to-server integration enables delivery of campaign optimizations in real time across all connected TV, OTT and digital video channels.

Added Damian Garbaccio, exec VP at Nielsen: “Our next-generation DMP enables advertisers to easily deliver more relevant, timely and consistent brand experiences across all screens at scale, which will result in better and more attributable marketing ROI. This is one of the most comprehensive advanced TV offerings available in the market today.”
