(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nMike's Hard and Genesis are taking creative swings with custom Netflix campaigns tied to the upcoming Will Ferrell film, showing how the streamer focuses on bespoke brand partnerships, per Marketing Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): streaming platforms have inventory at the moment of maximum attention — a viewer is invested in a show or film. Instead of selling that moment as a standard ad unit, sell it as a custom campaign. Partner with brands that align with the show's tone, build ads that feel like part of the experience, and charge a premium because the audience is locked in. For brands: test custom Netflix campaigns around launches that align with specific shows or films. You're paying more per impression, but the attention is higher.\nWhat that means for you: This is the natural evolution of where streaming advertising goes. Pre-roll and standard placements are the commodity. Custom campaigns built around specific content moments are the margin. The brands testing this (Mike's Hard around comedy, Genesis around prestige content) are betting that an integrated experience is worth more than a standard spot. It probably is.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Marketing Dive: https://www.marketingdive.com/news/mikes-hard-genesis-take-creative-swings-with-custom-netflix-campaigns/824804/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
