The startup will also use its own production studio to create content for the network.
"At its heart, Craftsy is a digital network with its own production studios, which we view as an extension of our own studios," NBCUniversal chair Bonnie Hammer reportedly said in a memo to employees when the deal was announced. "We believe that the interests and passions of our shared audiences naturally align."
Hammer also said that NBCUniversal and parent company Comcast would use their business-wide ad operation to promote the Craftsy brand to a bigger audience.

The acquisition follows a string of NBCUniversal investments in BuzzFeed, Vox Media and Snap Inc.
