Data clean room via Snowflake — currently in testing

Netflix has fundamentally changed the economics of its advertising business. Less than a year after replacing Microsoft’s ad technology with its own in-house platform — Netflix Ads Suite, or NAS — advertiser spending on the streaming service has doubled in some cases, and previously reluctant brands are buying in for the first time. The catalyst, executives across multiple agencies agree, is deceptively simple: for the first time, the measurement actually works.

The Problem NAS Was Built to Solve

When Netflix launched its ad-supported tier in 2022, the industry was skeptical — and for good reason. The underlying infrastructure was borrowed. Netflix relied on Microsoft’s ad technology to route buys through demand-side platforms, but what it offered bore little resemblance to the targeting precision and measurement transparency that programmatic advertising is supposed to deliver.
