About

One of the top global SVOD/AVOD platforms with 150M+ subscribers, offering premium CTV advertising inventory backed by Disney's iconic IP and first-party data

Disney+ is a streaming service owned by the Walt Disney Company that delivers content spanning franchises such as Star Wars and National Geographic to approximately 125 million subscribers, and has built an ad-supported tier that enables brands to reach audiences at scale. The platform leverages viewer preferences, behaviors, and demographics to serve precisely targeted advertising, allowing brands to align their messaging with specific audience interests — from Marvel fans to families watching animated classics — rather than relying on generic placements. Disney+ caps commercial time at an average of four minutes per hour, a light ad load designed to preserve the viewer experience and maximize brand visibility. Disney Advertising has expanded its global addressable capabilities through a unified programmatic framework — including its proprietary Audience Graph — now available across Canada, Latin America, and EMEA, with an extended strategic relationship with Magnite to provide access to premium streaming inventory at scale. Advertisers can access Disney+ inventory programmatically through approved demand-side platforms such as The Trade Desk, enabling real-time bidding based on specific audience triggers. Ad formats available on the platform include pre-roll video ahead of feature films, mid-roll placements timed to natural narrative breaks within series, standard creative lengths of 15, 30, or 60 seconds, as well as emerging formats such as binge ads and pause ads.
