Amazon is touting its exclusive NFL "Thursday Night Football" deal to boost its growing ad business.
In a presentation, it said its football audience is younger and watching longer than TV networks' NFL viewers.
Amazon's exclusive deal to stream the NFL's "Thursday Night Football" has pushed it into the mainstream of sports.
It's also using NFL to sell its broader advertising business, which at $31 billion is one of its fastest-growing businesses, citing Nielsen, Amazon internal data, and other sources.
Danielle Carney, director of ad sales for NFL Amazon Ads, made the pitch to advertisers at UnBoxed22, Amazon's showcase for vendors and advertisers, held in New York October 25-27.
