“The reason that we’re so energized by NBCU’s new One Platform is we’ve finally taken the 50 year way television advertising is bought and sold and actually started to reflect consumer behavior.”

“One Platform takes the digital and targeting capabilities that advertisers have grown accustomed to from the tech platforms and applies it to the massive scale of premium content that’s always brand safe so they get the best of both worlds at NBCU.”
 
Linda Yaccarino, Chairman, Advertising & Partnerships, NBCUniversal

“We are throwing the gauntlet down to where the industry was going to make a very accelerated shift to giving marketers choices to find those audiences on any screen, anytime, where ever.”

“If I get an ad that’s attached to a cultural phenomenon like This Is Us, a cultural mainstay like SNL, I remember it, I’m affected by it and I go out and buy stuff.”

“Consumers and advertisers deserve better. We’re taking the friction out of the process to make the experience better for both our viewers and the marketer.”
 
Linda Yaccarino, Chairman, Advertising & Partnerships, NBCUniversal

“What we see is that half of U.S. Hispanics do not watch English language television. You cannot reach the full scope of U.S. Hispanics without Hispanic language networks.”

In 2020 it’s time to stop looking in the rearview mirror, breaking legacy and start putting the consumer first, speak to them in authentic voices and the results will be there for marketers.”
 
Laura Molen, President, Advertising Sales & Partnerships, NBCUniversal

“We put the consumer at the center of everything we do.”

“Consumers, when they love something, they think of it is as their own, and when a marketer puts their brand in there and also co-creates content with our brand, it allows the consumer to relate the brands together.”
 

“We work with marketers to tie their brands in a natural way to our content and it translates to increased brand love across the purchase funnel.”
