In a blog post, Netflix confirms Microsoft is its “global advertising technology and sales partner” for ads. “It’s very early days and we have much to work through,” Netflix COO Greg Peters adds in the post. “But our long term goal is clear. More choice for consumers and a premium, better-than-linear TV brand experience for advertisers. We’re excited to work with Microsoft as we bring this new service to life.” Over on the Microsoft blog, the Redmond giant says Netflix marketers will collaborate with the Microsoft team to bring ads to the streaming app. “Today’s announcement also endorses Microsoft’s approach to privacy, which is built on protecting customers’ information,” Mikhail Parakhin, Microsoft’s president of web experiences, points out. According to The Wall Street Journal, Netflix chose Microsoft over Google and Comcast because Microsoft does not have a competing video service.

Netflix Struggles
According to the BBC, Netflix has not let go 4% of its total workforce and is expecting more job losses if subscriber numbers continue to fall.

Each charge a monthly fee and consumers are increasingly paying more to maintain several subscriptions. While an all-in-one service such as Netflix may be the future, for now, the company is reeling as consumers get pulled from one streaming service to the next.
