FreeWheel has made a name for itself by helping publishers to run ads against their videos no matter where they are seen, whether they appear on a publisher’s own web site or — more likely — a distribution partner’s.But it’s tough to do that alone, which is why FreeWheel is announcing anew partner program to help disseminate and target online video ads across a wide range of distribution platforms.

The video ad company has spent the last two years partnering and integrating with a whole slew of different video distributors, ad networks, video management platforms, creative technologies, and content identification companies. In total, FreeWheel has more than 70partners helping it to reach, monitor, and measure ad effectiveness across various video distribution points. That includes about 25different advertising partners and eight different online video platforms.

One of FreeWheel’s biggest wins was partnering with YouTube to serve ads from content partners like CBS and Vevo. Due to partnerships with YouTube and others, FreeWheel also counts major video publishers like Discovery, Major League Baseball, Turner Broadcasting System and Warner Bros. as customers.

The expansion of its partnership program and the growth in the number of publishers and distribution partners it connects with has FreeWeel firing on all cylinders. According to VideoNuze, the firm is now serving almost 2 billion video ads per month, which is nearly double its volume from last November.
