In a significant stride toward redefining the advertising landscape, Disney Advertising has joined forces with Walmart Connect, marking a pivotal shift in how brands will engage with audiences on streaming platforms, including Disney+ and Hulu. Leveraging Walmart’s extensive shopper data, this collaboration facilitates a level of precision in audience targeting previously unattainable for advertisers.
Unprecedented Targeting for Maximum Impact
The integration of Walmart's extensive consumer data with Disney's streaming media capabilities offers advertisers a game-changing advantage. Disney's state-of-the-art Audience Graph plays a crucial role here, enabling a refined analysis of viewer habits and preferences across Disney's vast media network. With access to detailed insights on consumer behavior, preferences, and purchase history, brands can now craft highly personalized advertising campaigns. This synergy enhances the effectiveness of these campaigns, allowing for a tailored approach that reaches the right audiences with laser-focused precision.
This level of targeting precision is a boon for brands seeking to maximize the impact of their advertising efforts. By delivering their message to consumers who are most likely to be interested in their products or services, brands can foster meaningful connections and drive better results. This targeted approach not only improves the relevance of advertising content for viewers but also optimizes ad spend efficiency for brands, making it a powerful tool for modern marketers.

Walmart’s Digital Advertising Strength
While renowned for its physical stores, Walmart has quietly become a force in digital advertising. This transformation is fueled by its massive e-commerce operation, generating a staggering $100 billion annually. This digital platform has become the foundation for Walmart Connect, its advertising arm, which raked in $3.4 billion in revenue in fiscal 2024. This vast amount of shopper data, combined with Disney's reach across streaming platforms, ushers in a new era of precision targeting in advertising.
Changing the Landscape for Advertisers
The Disney-Walmart Connect partnership represents a seismic shift towards a more integrate approach to digital marketing, where the boundaries between retail and media dissolve. By combining Walmart's vast shopper data with Disney's extensive reach across streaming platforms, advertisers can develop a comprehensive, 360-degree view of their target audience. This holistic understanding enables the creation of a more cohesive and impactful advertising experience, one that resonates with consumers on a deeper level.
This presents an opportunity for brands to tell their story in a more compelling and relevant way. With insights into consumer preferences and behaviors, brands can craft narratives that speak directly to their target audience's needs, desires, and aspirations. This level of personalization not only enhances the effectiveness of advertising campaigns but also fosters greater brand affinity and loyalty among consumers.
A Level Playing Field for All Brands
This partnership exemplifies the potential of integrating consumer data across different behaviors—shopping and media consumption—to deliver a more cohesive and effective advertising strategy.
For smaller brands, this development levels the playing field, providing access to high-quality data and premium ad placements that were previously available only to larger players. It democratizes the advertising landscape, allowing more brands to participate meaningfully and competitively.
The Future is Integrated, Intelligent, and Impactful
The future of advertising is all about breaking down silos and creating a more unified customer journey. The Disney-Walmart Connect partnership is a prime example of this trend in action. As more companies recognize the value of integrating retail and media data, we can expect a wave of innovation that personalizes the consumer experience and delivers even more impactful advertising campaigns.
