Netflix chooses Microsoft to manage advertising on its platform:
After a disappointing first quarter, when it had lost subscribers for the first time in ten years, the streaming giant wants to offer subscriptions cheaper but with advertising. It’s the alliance of two giants. Microsoft announced, on Wednesday, July 13, that it will manage the technology of selling advertising space on Netflix, a novelty for the streaming platform that decided to offer subscriptions cheaper, but with advertising. Netflix announced this decision in April, after a disappointing first quarter, when it lost subscribers for the first time in ten years, and after years of resistance to the very idea of advertising. The launch date for this service has not yet been announced. “It’s clear that it works for Hulu,” Netflix boss Reed Hastings noted, referring to a competing service, during a conference call with analysts. If you want the option without advertising, it will always be possible. If you prefer to pay less and tolerate advertising, there will be an offer for you too,” he added. This subscription will be added to the three options already available («Essential», «Standard» and «Premium»), the cheapest being ten dollars per month in the United States. Microsoft will be responsible for designing and managing the platform for advertisers wishing to deliver advertisements to Netflix users. “Microsoft has a proven ability to meet all of our advertising needs by building a new ad subscription offer with us,” said Netflix COO Greg Peters, quoted in Wednesday’s release. – Data privacy – According to the US trade press, Netflix had considered other partners, such as Google, the world’s leading advertising company, and Comcast, an internet provider that owns Peacock, NBCUniversal’s platform. Microsoft has the advantage of not having competing streaming services, unlike the three companies that collect about two-thirds of the digital advertising budgets in the United States, Google, Meta and Amazon. The Redmond group (northwest) “ranks fourth in this market in the United States,” notes AFP analyst Ross Benes de eMarketer. It represents fewer conflicts of interest for Netflix than other companies and has established relationships with a wide range of advertisers.” “This contract brings him something missing from his advertising activity – a quality inventory in video streaming, with strong growth potential,” he added.
