Transmit, in particular, was awarded this certification for meeting FreeWheel's industry guidelines and best practices for this program. One noteworthy point: The company is also the first to be certified in the picture-in-picture advertising sector. (This refers to the capability to serve ads within a smaller screen while other programming or content is running simultaneously on a larger screen within the same platform, whether it be the big screen, on a desktop or mobile.)

This synergistic collaboration between FreeWheel and Transmit helps pave the way for even more streamlined, efficient and effective ad insertion solutions that cater to the ever-evolving needs of the media and advertising world in the future.

Transmit, known for its groundbreaking, server-side ad insertion technology, is an end-to-end monetization solution empowering distributors to create new in-stream inventory, fill traditional ad breaks, and produce more effective ad pods. With Transmit's server-side ad insertion technology, media operators can expect higher engagement rates, reduced latency and an enhanced viewer experience.

FreeWheel launched this new industry certification initiative to highlight the importance of compatibility, interoperability and ease of use when it comes to ad insertion in today's TV ad ecosystem. The company's credibility for granting this certification stems from its distinct vantage point in working with the majority of players across the premium video ad ecosystem, as well as its mission to better connect buyers and sellers in this space.

"Our mission has always been to set industry benchmarks and deliver unparalleled service to our partners," says Seth Hittman, Founder and CEO of Transmit. "Being recognized and certified by FreeWheel, a true leader in the advertising tech space, is a testament to our team's relentless pursuit of excellence.
