Netflix’s Nicolle Pangis on Measurement, AI, and the Future of Streaming Advertising

Episode notes

In this episode of BRAVE COMMERCE, Rachel Tipograph and Sarah Hofstetter speak with Nicolle Pangis, VP of UCAN Advertising at Netflix, about building an advertising business inside one of the world’s most influential media companies. Nicolle shares why the future of streaming advertising will depend on stronger data collaboration, interoperable measurement, and AI-powered infrastructure. She also discusses the evolution of connected TV measurement, the growing role of clean rooms and data integrations, and how Netflix is thinking about turning audience engagement and fandom into measurable business outcomes for advertisers. Key takeaways: Advertisers can no longer rely on siloed measurement systems if they want a clear view of performance across streaming and retail ecosystems. AI-driven advertising depends on connected, interoperable data, not just automation. Premium audience engagement only becomes valuable when platforms can connect it to measurable outcomes.
