2025's CTV Highlights: Netflix, Disney, and Data Dilemmas
AdExchanger’s year‑end roundup spotlights four of 2025’s most discussed CTV stories. First, Netflix introduced Netflix Ad Suite (NAS) ahead of its in‑house ad server launch, with Nicolle Pangis detailing buyers’ expectations at CTV Connect and Amy Reinhard later calling 2025 Netflix’s biggest year in advertising during the upfront. Second, Disney Advertising SVP Jamie Power explains Disney’s streaming business now relies on fast‑growing, biddable ad revenue, with Disney’s programmatic sales up about 30% from 2024 to 2025 and 70% of biddable deals tied to upfront commitments. Third, Nielsen’s upfront cycle faces frustration over the Big Data + Panel measurement approach, despite MRC accreditation and ongoing scrutiny from the Video Advertising Bureau. Fourth, a Truthset study for CIMM and Go Addressable reveals low IP‑to‑email match rates across six major data vendors, highlighting industry‑wide data‑accuracy challenges and the need for standards and education.
Netflix Leverages CAPI; AI Innovations Transform Local News
Netflix announced a conversion API (CAPI) to help advertisers measure whether streaming ads drive actions, joining a broader CAPI trend among streaming platforms such as Roku. Starting in Q2, Netflix will offer expanded targeting capabilities to U.S. media buyers via Yahoo DSP and Amazon DSP, with plans to extend to additional markets later in the year. The newsletter also reports on local news publishers using AI — including The Philadelphia Inquirer’s work with OpenAI and Microsoft to scan meeting topics and launch new newsletters — and notes growing CFO involvement in marketing decisions as agencies pitch outcomes-based plans. Brief industry items include ad-tech security findings, moderator risks in AI annotation, legal actions involving chatbots, and hires: Sharona Sankar-King at Havas Media Network North America and Dovilė Buinickaitė promoted at Adform.
Netflix Lets Amazon Audiences Target Its CTV Inventory
Starting in Q2 2026, advertisers buying Netflix inventory via Amazon DSP can layer Amazon Audiences — segments derived from users' shopping, browsing and streaming behavior — against Netflix viewers. Netflix is also opening audience activation through Yahoo DSP with deterministic Yahoo audiences built from global interest, behavioral, purchase and life-stage signals. Netflix’s Conversion API, designed to deliver real-time campaign insights and clearer attribution, has shown strong early results in tests with Tinuiti (campaigns exceeded benchmarks by more than 75% in some verticals). Nielsen is simultaneously expanding measurement with 200+ advanced audience segments on Nielsen ONE, powered by Scarborough survey data and becoming fully shoppable in Q2. The moves combine commerce-originated audience data, streaming inventory access, and new attribution tooling — reshaping CTV targeting, measurement and the advertising conversations ahead of Upfront season.
