New Delhi: Google has made a significant move in the advertising landscape by integrating Netflix’s advertising inventory into its Display & Video 360 (DV360) platform. This strategic partnership offers advertisers a more streamlined and efficient way to reach their target audiences on one of the world’s most popular streaming services.
Through private marketplaces within DV360, advertisers can now directly access Netflix’s ad inventory, enabling them to tailor their campaigns with greater precision and flexibility. This integration is expected to further enhance the targeting capabilities available to advertisers, allowing them to connect with specific demographics and interests.
In addition to the immediate availability of private marketplace deals, Google has announced plans to introduce programmatic guaranteed options by November 2024. This feature will provide advertisers with even more control over their ad placements, ensuring that their messages reach the desired audience at the right time.

Netflix has expressed excitement about this partnership, stating that it will offer advertisers new opportunities to buy, measure, and analyze the impact of their campaigns. The streaming giant is also developing its own in-house ad tech platform, which is set to be tested in Canada in November and launched globally in 2025.
To maintain transparency and accountability, Google has taken steps to verify ad impressions through Campaign Manager 360. Additionally, the company has expanded its partnerships with DoubleVerify and Integral Ad Science to cover a wider range of ad formats, providing advertisers with greater confidence in the quality and effectiveness of their campaigns.
Initially available in the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Mexico, the integration of Netflix’s ad inventory into DV360 is expected to expand to other regions in the coming months. This partnership marks a significant milestone in the evolution of digital advertising, offering advertisers new and innovative ways to reach their target audiences on one of the most popular streaming platforms in the world.
