Read previewThe battle between streamers for TV ads is ushering in a new push for brand partnerships, from joint marketing campaigns to product placements.
It's also bringing in ad chief Peter Naylor's team into conversations brands are having with VP Magno Herran, who's long overseen marketing partnerships.
AdvertisementBrand reps looking to discuss partnerships have noticed Netflix and Amazon ad salespeople popping up unexpectedly in meetings.
