The work of this team is critical in illustrating the company’s success and reinforcing our reputation in a fast-changing, complex and competitive global landscape. We tell compelling stories about our Netflix titles, brand and local initiatives, working closely with advertising, partnerships, content, policy, publicity, production, and other functions to infuse these stories with their efforts.
