Mediaocean, Disney launch Prisma Direct for Disney CTV

Mediaocean and The Walt Disney Company announced a partnership to introduce Prisma Direct, a new workflow layer inside Mediaocean’s Prisma system that will roll out in Q3. The API-driven integration connects media buyers directly to Disney’s CTV and streaming inventory, automating ordering, activation, analytics and billing to reduce manual insertion orders and fragmented workflows. Built on the same technology as Disney Campaign Manager, Prisma Direct gives buyers access to premium inventory (including sponsorships and high-impact placements) while preserving publisher decisioning, bidding, and measurement within existing stacks. Mediaocean frames the product as workflow consolidation and cost reduction rather than disintermediation, though the integration raises questions about potential alternative buying rails for guaranteed CTV and premium video outside traditional DSP-driven programmatic channels.
