Freestar is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Established in 2015, the company has approximately 210 employees. Functioning as an ad technology provider, Freestar specializes in tailored ad management solutions for publishers.
Freestar adopted Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise, backed by Insight’s deep AI expertise, to centralize information access and boost employee productivity, noting on February 19, 2026, that the solution sped up sales leads by 60x. Previously, on February 17, Freestar CEO Kurt Donnell discussed ad tech transparency on AdExchanger Talks, addressing how digital publishers navigate programmatic ad tech’s “flight to quality” while managing declines in search traffic. This followed Freestar’s earlier update on January 27, revealing that Google’s Gemini Enterprise powered three AI solutions – lead enrichment, publisher health checks, and inbox management – saving the company hours weekly after six months of exploring use cases.
