Company mission
Disney Streaming's mission is to bring beloved characters, timeless stories, and epic sporting events to a global audience through world-class direct-to-consumer video services.
28% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Disney Streaming Services is a business unit within Disney’s Direct-to-Consumer and International (DTCI) segment that oversees all consumer-facing digital video subscription services across the company. Disney Streaming is responsible for developing and operating Disney’s direct-to-consumer video businesses globally, including Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and STAR+, a global leader in direct-to-consumer video streaming products and solutions.
When it launched Disney+, the company attracted over 10 million subscribers in its first 24 hours. Soon after launch, the company said it aimed to have as many as 50 million subscribers by 2025 - Disney announced it surpassed that goal in its first eight months.
Now only Netflix and Amazon Prime can claim more subscribers than Disney Plus. They aim to compete with Netflix, Apple and Amazon by leveraging their huge catalogue of Disney animated classics along with its Pixar, Marvel, National Geographic movies and their wildly successful Star Wars franchise.
