How Does Streaming Video Drive Cultural Strategy for Brands?

Author: Kantar & Saïd Business School, Oxford University July 1, 2026 Duration: 16:06

In this Cannes special episode, Jane Ostler sits down with John Campbell, SVP, Entertainment and Streaming Solutions for Disney Advertising, to explore how video is driving culture, not just consumption.

 

From the success of Rivals and its brand integrations with Waitrose and Volkswagen, to immersive fan experiences around shows like The Bear, they unpack how streaming is creating new opportunities for brands to go beyond advertising and become part of the moment.

This episode looks at how nostalgia, fandom and real-world activations are reshaping partnerships, and why brands are starting to hand over more control to truly connect with audiences.
