Netflix Placement

Post by jefflaplante » Thu May 04, 2023 2:36 pm

I was excited to hear my cue on a very popular Netflix show yesterday, thanks to a connection made through Taxi in 2022.
The upfront sync fee on this was pretty sweet, but I'm wondering about the backend. I'm assuming that streaming platforms are less lucrative than cable/network tv placements. Anyone have any insight?

So far, my experience of earnings from the major streamers had been laughably poor :shock:. YMMV, but I wouldn't order the Porshe just yet :D.

BUT... congratulations on the placement and well done on getting some upfront money.

Congrats on getting a nice upfront. Many of us have had stuff on streaming with nothing upfront and literal pennies in streaming royalties so anything else you've had above that is a bonus.

What show was it?

Wasn't sure if I was allowed to say the show on here. It's called Jewish Matchmaking.

It was a pop instrumental with Hebrew influences/vocal chops.
