Lisa Valentino, Executive Vice President, Client and Brand Solutions at Disney Advertising Sales, doesn't think the TV upfront is dead, but Disney - owner of traditional TV networks like ABC and ESPN - is pushing further than ever into programmatic ad selling and data in a way that would have been unimaginable a few years ago. Valentino's team is borrowing tactics from Hulu, including self-serve ad buying, which she believes will open up the TV business to a much broader array of advertisers. According to Valentino, they've seen a thousand new clients come to Disney through programmatic channels.
