Key Takeaways
- 70% of advertisers increased investment in YouTube over the last year, according to DoubleVerify.
- 65% of advertisers increased spending on Netflix during the same period.
- The figures come from DoubleVerify’s study on global streaming ad growth.
- YouTube outpaced Netflix by 5 percentage points in advertiser investment growth.
