Today Netflix, by the voice of the COO Greg Petersannounces that he has “chosen Microsoft as ours global partner for advertising and sales technology“. A choice due to the “ability to support all our advertising needs” and the “flexibility to innovate the technology and the sales plan over time, as well as the attention to the privacy of our members”.
Peters continues: “These are the very first days and we have a lot of work to do. But our long-term goal is clear: more choice for consumers e a premium and better than linear TV experience for advertisers ”.
