Omnicom and Disney Team Up to Cut Repetitive Streaming Ads
Omnicom and Disney have launched a new streaming ad tool designed to reduce the frequency of repeated commercials for viewers.
Omnicom Group and Disney have jointly unveiled a new advertising technology tool targeting one of streaming viewers' most persistent frustrations: seeing the same commercial play over and over again during a single viewing session. The partnership brings together one of the world's largest advertising holding companies and one of the most-watched streaming platforms to tackle ad repetition head-on.
The tool is designed to give advertisers and media buyers greater control over ad frequency, ensuring that audiences are not bombarded with identical spots throughout a broadcast or streaming session. By coordinating data and delivery systems between Omnicom's media buying infrastructure and Disney's streaming inventory, the solution aims to make the ad experience less intrusive and more effective for brands.
