Disney: About
Disney operates a hybrid media ownership model. It creates or controls premium content and sports rights, distributes that content through owned broadcast, streaming and publishing properties, and monetises the resulting audience in multiple ways. Consumer value comes from access to films, series, live sports and factual programming; advertiser value comes from scaled premium inventory, first-party audience data and cross-platform campaign access. The company also benefits from licensing and theatrical distribution through its studio operations.
