About

One of the largest premium video advertising platforms globally, leveraging Disney's unmatched content portfolio and first-party data across streaming and linear TV

Disney Advertising (formerly Disney Advertising Sales) is the advertising sales and technology division of The Walt Disney Company, responsible for monetizing the company's vast portfolio of media properties including Hulu, Disney+, ESPN, ABC, FX, National Geographic, and numerous digital platforms. The division offers advertisers unparalleled access to premium, brand-safe content environments reaching hundreds of millions of consumers across streaming, linear television, and digital channels. Disney Advertising has positioned itself as a leader in converged TV advertising, enabling brands to execute unified campaigns across both streaming and traditional broadcast inventory. A cornerstone of Disney Advertising's market differentiation is its proprietary data and audience targeting infrastructure. The company leverages first-party data from its direct-to-consumer streaming platforms, theme parks, consumer products, and loyalty programs to build rich audience segments. Its Clean Room technology and partnerships with major data platforms allow advertisers to match their own customer data with Disney's audiences in a privacy-compliant manner. Disney also operates its own programmatic marketplace and has invested heavily in automation tools like Disney Campaign Manager and its self-serve advertising platform. In the AdTech ecosystem, Disney Advertising competes directly with other major media conglomerates and streaming platforms for premium video advertising budgets. The division has been at the forefront of the streaming advertising revolution, launching ad-supported tiers on Disney+ and expanding Hulu's already robust advertising business. With billions in annual advertising revenue and a technology stack that includes advanced measurement, attribution, and audience solutions, Disney Advertising is one of the most significant players in the premium video and connected TV advertising landscape.
