In today's ExchangeWire news digest: Spotify and Roku announce the launch of integrated video ads; video streaming platforms form a new trade group; and Linda Yaccarino states X will turn a profit in 2024.
Spotify and Roku have announced the roll-out of video ads to Spotify’s app on Roku. This latest development in the platforms’ partnership will help advertisers reach an “engaged global audience of 500 million+ and increase the impact of their spend”, Spotify said in a press release.
US streaming giants including Disney, Netflix, and Paramount, have forged a new trade group. The Streaming Innovation Alliance will “advocate for federal and state policies that build on the strong, competitive, and pro-consumer market for streaming video,” according to the group.
Linda Yaccarino has said that X’s operating cash flow is “just about break even”, and that the company should turn a profit in early 2024. The CEO also stated that 15,000 advertisers had returned to the platform, despite Elon Musk sharing that X’s US ad revenue was down 60% earlier in September.
