🚀 Impact & Significance
This partnership allows a wider range of marketers (national, regional, and local) easier access to ad inventory across Hulu and Disney Plus. With businesses shifting ad budgets from traditional TV to digital video platforms, streaming services like Disney Plus and Hulu are becoming popular due to their engaged viewership, advanced targeting, interactive features, and real-time analytics.

🌐 Google's View
Stephen Yap, managing director Americas for Google Marketing Platform, emphasizes the collaboration's benefits, providing advertisers with a new way to purchase Disney's CTV inventory.
🌟 About DRAX
Disney launched DRAX in March 2021 as an automated ad platform named after a character from Guardians of the Galaxy. It consolidates advertisers' video demand to ensure fair competition between direct-sold and programmatic deals for Disney ad impressions.
Exciting news! This collaboration between Google Marketing Platform and Disney Advertising is a game-changer for advertisers. The direct integration between Display & Video 360 and Disney’s Real-time Ad Exchange promises enhanced inventory discovery, audience targeting, and seamless execution. Looking forward to seeing the innovative campaigns and opportunities that arise from this partnership! 💡🚀
