SAN FRANCISCO – December 12, 2013 – BrightRoll, the industry’s only independent and unified programmatic video advertising platform, today announced a strategic agreement with Nielsen, the global measurement and information company, to help advertisers increase the efficacy of their digital video ad campaigns and maximize accountability and return on investment.
