The expanded reach is helping Amazon Advertising, which said it has nearly tripled its ad-supported streaming audience since last year.
The company said it now reaches more than 55 million monthly active viewers of ad-supported OTT content, up from about 20 million at the same time last year and the 40 million it reported in July during FierceVideo’s OTT Blitz Week.
“We believe that our focus on providing great customer experiences has been a big driver in this growth. When we create great customer experiences, we help our advertisers achieve better campaign results,” the company wrote in a blog post.
