Microsoft Ads Chief Rob Wilk On Why Advertising Is The Company’s ‘Newfound Religion’
Microsoft is the multitrillion-dollar advertising company that nobody saw coming. There’s a reason for that. Until recent, Microsoft was a distant and relatively uninvested competitor in the advertising sector. The company didn’t have ad tech, exactly, and its own properties – MSN, the Bing search engine and the Edge browser – never gained marketer mindshare. But that’s going to change, said Rob Wilk, who took over as head of Microsoft Advertising in January.
