Ad of the Month UK: Disney+

Amelia Brophy - April 6th, 2020

This month, streaming platform Disney+ has achieved the highest uplift in Ad Awareness of any brand in the UK with a +11.2 change in score

With Britons on lockdown, many are turning to streaming services to provide content to keep them entertained and a strong advertising push ahead of its late March UK-launch sees Disney+ crowned Ad of the Month.

YouGov BrandIndex data shows Disney+ Ad Awareness scores (whether someone has seen or heard an advert broadcast by a company in the past two weeks) have improved by +11.2 points giving a score of 26.8 by the end of the month.

The adverts highlights the brands headline content, including the new live-action Star War series The Mandalorian, the previous Star Wars films and shows, as well as a huge back catalogue of classic Disney movies.

The advertising campaign has done well across differing target groups, as YouGov BrandIndex data also shows Consideration Scores for Disney+ (whether consumers would consider purchasing from the brand in the future) have risen among both parents and fans of science fiction films.
