Advertise on Disney+
Disney Plus Advertising Agency: Advertise on Disney+ with One Day
Disney+ is one of the biggest and most-used streaming providers. With the new ad-supported tier that launched in 2023, it's easier than ever for brands to take advantage of the massive reach of a channel that supports movies and shows from the likes of Disney, Pixar, National Geographic and Marvel.
There are 126 million global subscribers and a fast-growing UK audience, who come from a diverse range of demographics and locations. Businesses can target advertising to viewers watching family-friendly classics, kids' series, new releases, and blockbuster action movies.
One of the best aspects of advertising on Disney+ is that it puts ads in a trusted environment, associating products and services with entertainment viewers have chosen to see, and with non-skippable premium placements that reach enormous numbers.
Target Households Globally with Disney+ ads
The Advantages of Disney+ Advertising
The ability to reach the 40% of Disney+ subscribers who have opted into the ad-supported tier, targeting versatile audiences based on specific shows, studios, releases and genres.
Advanced audience data mapping tools, with options to personalise ads based on viewing habits, timings, interests and specific events such as sports tournaments or matches.
Massive reach, with millions of viewers logging in every day, including those watching series and movies via connected TVs, tablets and smartphones.
Ongoing ad performance monitoring, measuring campaign performance in real-time and tracing returns achieved to adjust ads or messaging as needed.
Disney+ Advertising Model
As part of the ad-supported tier, Disney+ has introduced several features and functions specifically designed for marketers and advertisers, including:
In-stream advertising, which integrates promotions into viewer experiences by playing ads at strategic points during or on either side of the content and capturing impressions without being intrusive.
Sponsored content ads, where brands can pick custom branding to show alongside Disney+ programming, selecting when and how messaging is shown to maximise relevance and context.
Banner ads, a type of ad shown on the interface when logging into Disney+, which help to build brand familiarity and align ads with the imagery and graphics that are displayed within the channel's content library.
More interactive and dynamic ad doormats are also available, where audiences can opt to click through to respond, such as registering for a service or event, buying a product, or logging their interest in receiving further information.
Types of Disney+ Ads
Who Is Disney+ Advertising For?
The broad age ranges of Disney+ viewers make the platform an excellent advertising option for companies and businesses from almost every sector, although a large proportion of users are families and younger adults, which means the following feature prominently:
Ads that are designed to connect with viewers who are passionate about a certain brand, feature or studio, such as those created for Star Wars fans, Marvel watchers or audiences who follow National Geographic series.
Retail brands that use product placements and presentation tiles to link their brand to a franchise – think Mattel and Barbie as a great example!
Travel and tourism companies, which draw attention to their offers by featuring ads during travel shows or family broadcasts, highlighting kid-free places and attractions, as well as family-friendly resorts.
Tech brands, which showcase ads for gaming products, experiences, sales, and promotions, many of which are aimed at younger adults.
Disney+ is also widely used by car manufacturers who design ads to highlight safety or reliability features, and financial services providers who advertise banking and credit services aimed at families.
Why Advertise on Disney+?
Disney+ is a powerful streaming service, offering a range of ad formats that allow brands to choose from ad-roll placements available on a modest budget to full-scale promotional takeovers. The benefits include:
Accurate targeting, to ensure ads are shown to a defined viewer profile, aligning with age-appropriate guidelines for family content.
Options to combine different ad formats or creatives to augment brand familiarity and repeat exposure.
Exclusive opportunities to design campaigns based on popular franchises and brands, with which audiences have strong pre-existing emotional connections.
As with any major advertising campaign, it remains essential to ensure you select formats and imagery with care, ensuring promotions are perceived as entertaining or informative rather than an interruption to the viewer’s watching experience.
