Disney has unveiled the Disney Digital Network, which will aim to deliver digital-first stories through digital platforms and influencers to Millennial and Gen Z audiences, at the IAB Digital Content NewFronts Tuesday in New York City.
The new network, which according to Disney reaches more than one billion followers, will combine more than 300 social media channels and will also include Disney’s in-house branded content service, Disney Co/Op, which pairs Disney digital storytellers with advertisers for custom campaigns.
Disney editorial brands that will be featured in the network include: Oh My Disney, Disney Style, Disney Family, Babble, Polaris, StarWars.com and “Star Wars” app.
Furthermore, each editorial brand will connect digital audiences with both Disney and non-Disney content across websites and social channels on all major platforms. The network will also offer a highly-curated and hand-selected set of top video creators and social media influencers, which the company will leverage to create a host of original programming.
“With an audience of over one billion highly-engaged followers, the Disney Digital Network is one of the most impactful publishers in digital media,” says Jimmy Pitaro, chairman, Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media. “This network extends our stories to the platforms Gen Z and Millennial audiences are on every day, with diverse editorial voices that integrate top creators and influencers.”
Additionally, the company is actively pairing the digital content creation and programming capabilities of the Disney Digital Network with The Walt Disney Company’s broadcast and cable assets across ABC, Disney Channel and more, allowing advertising partners to reach more audiences across all media platforms.
