Quotable

“The early learnings on Disney+ blew us away, and I think what it says is content is alive and very healthy. When you think about the amount of scale that’s being attracted to these platforms, you might have thought that viewers were being drawn to the platform because there were no ads, we actually think they’re being drawn because of the content. When you see 28mln subscribers in a very short amount of time, a small percentage of it was actually due to the deal we did with Verizon. That again speaks to the health of content.” – Disney evp, client & brand solutions Linda Valentino at the VAB Impact Video Leadership Summit
