About

Leading premium CTV advertising platform with unmatched global scale and first-party audience data from 300M+ subscribers

Netflix Inc. is a global streaming entertainment company that delivers series, films, and games to over half a billion people across more than 190 countries in 50 languages. While primarily a subscription streaming service, Netflix has spent years building an ad-supported business alongside subscriptions, and advertising is now emerging as a meaningful second growth engine. Ad commitments at its 2026 Upfront nearly doubled year over year, driven by advertiser interest in its programming — including live sports and popular series — with sponsorships for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup selling out. Netflix is actively expanding its ad technology through its Netflix Ads Suite, which now includes interactive ad formats and an AI-powered creative tool capable of generating pause ads. Growing advertiser commitments suggest the platform is increasingly being treated as a serious alternative to traditional television and other digital channels for media buyers and planners.
