Overview

Hulu Advertising is the advertising sales and technology division of Hulu, one of the leading premium streaming services in the United States. The platform provides advertisers access to a highly engaged audience through various ad-supported subscription tiers, offering both traditional video ads and innovative ad formats. Hulu Advertising leverages first-party data, advanced targeting capabilities, and measurement tools to deliver personalized advertising experiences across connected TV (CTV), mobile, and web platforms. As part of Disney's streaming portfolio (following Disney's full acquisition of Hulu), Hulu Advertising has become a key component of Disney's broader advertising ecosystem, which includes Disney+ and ESPN+. The platform offers advertisers access to premium content including original series, licensed programming, and live TV through Hulu + Live TV. Hulu Advertising has been at the forefront of streaming TV advertising innovation, offering features like pause ads, binge ads, and interactive ad formats that take advantage of the streaming environment. Hulu Advertising serves major brands and agencies seeking to reach cord-cutters and streaming audiences with high-quality, brand-safe inventory. The platform has established itself as a premium CTV advertising destination, competing with other major streaming platforms while offering unique audience insights and targeting capabilities derived from viewer behavior and preferences.
