Local Businesses, Not Just National Brands.
Disney Campaign Manager opened Hulu inventory to self-service advertisers starting around a $500 media-spend minimum. Secret Systems configures the campaign, builds the landing page, and tracks every lead that comes back.
What It Is
Hulu Advertising, Explained
Hulu is one of the most-watched ad-supported streaming services in the U.S., and it's owned and operated by Disney. Historically, buying commercial time on Hulu meant going through a direct sales relationship with Disney's ad-sales team — a process built around large national or regional brand budgets. Disney Campaign Manager changed that by opening a self-service tool that lets smaller advertisers configure, launch, and manage a Hulu campaign themselves, without the traditional agency-scale minimum commitment.
Secret Systems uses Disney Campaign Manager to plan and run Hulu campaigns on behalf of local and regional businesses. Campaigns can access eligible Hulu inventory through this supported advertising platform — Secret Systems is an independent advertising service, not an official Disney advertising partner.
Self-Service Minimum

Disney's official self-service tool for Hulu (and, where available, ad-supported Disney+) inventory.
Targeting
What Hulu Campaigns Can Target
Disney Campaign Manager's self-service targeting commonly includes the options below. Exact availability can change and is confirmed at campaign setup — Secret Systems doesn't promise a targeting capability a platform doesn't actually support.
- Age & gender targeting
- Viewer interest / genre affinity targeting
- Household and geographic targeting (platform-dependent — confirmed per campaign)
Website-visitor retargeting and first-party audience uploads are not currently confirmed as available through Disney Campaign Manager's self-service tool for Hulu — if a campaign needs that capability, Secret Systems will confirm it directly with the platform or recommend a platform where it's documented, such as Roku Ads Manager.
How Secret Systems Runs a Hulu Campaign
From Commercial to Tracked Lead
Define the offer, service area, and audience, then configure the campaign inside Disney Campaign Manager.
Prepare a 15- or 30-second streaming-ready commercial that fits Hulu's ad-supported format.
Build a conversion-focused landing page so viewers who respond have somewhere to go.
Connect tracking and CRM automation so every lead is captured and followed up automatically.
Why Pair Hulu Ads With Secret Systems Instead of Running Them Alone
A Hulu commercial by itself can build brand awareness, but it doesn't answer the phone or capture a lead. Secret Systems treats the ad as one part of a system: landing page, tracking, CRM, and automated follow-up all work together so a viewer who responds becomes a tracked lead — not just an impression.
