Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Amazon raked in $11.82 billion in ad revenue for the first quarter of 2024, topping analyst expectations, fueled by the ecommerce giant’s move to serve advertising by default in Prime Video in multiple markets. Advertising sales for the quarter were up 24% year over year and marked a new Q1 record. The revenue beat Wall Street expectations for the quarter of $11.7 billion, according to StreetAccount.
“Our advertising efforts continue to benefit from the growth of our Stores and Prime Video businesses,” CEO Andy Jassy said in announcing earnings. In his annual letter to Amazon shareholders this month, Jassy announced that Prime Video has more than 200 million monthly viewers and touted the service’s addition of advertising starting Jan. 29.
In the U.S. alone, the company has told marketers that Prime Video reached an estimated 115 million monthly viewers in the U.S. To date, Prime Video ads have launched in the United States, the U.K., Germany, Austria, Canada, France, Italy, Spain and Mexico.
“Streaming TV advertising is growing quickly and off to a strong start,” Jassy said in the letter. He also boasted of Prime Video’s “continued development of compelling, exclusive content,” calling out its exclusive NFL “Thursday Night Football” games, the “Lord of the Rings” series, “Reacher,” “The Boys,” “Citadel” and “Road House.” In the recent quarter, Amazon announced that Prime Video will stream its first NFL Wild Card playoff game in January 2025. In February, a lawsuit filed against Amazon on behalf of Prime Video users accused the company of false advertising and deceptive practices over the change by Prime Video to serve ads unless customers pay $2.99/month more.
