Frequently asked
questions, answered

What are the upfronts?

Every year during broadcast upfront week, TV networks, streaming services, and media companies present their content lineups and other features and services to the advertising community, brands, agencies, analysts, media, and more. Afterward, advertisers and their agencies negotiate and sign deals with TV networks, streaming services, and media companies, committing to spend a set amount of money to buy ads.

Why are the upfronts important to advertisers?

Streaming TV and linear TV continue to help advertisers reach large audiences. By connecting with engaged viewers, marketers can help boost their brands’ awareness and consideration. Additionally, supply for premium content is limited, which encourages advertisers to secure ad spots early.

Who attends upfront presentations?

The upfronts span weeks of presentations by streaming services and media networks. Audiences who attend these presentations include advertisers, media buyers, marketers, journalists, and TV and streaming industry professionals.

Why is Amazon presenting at the upfronts?
