“Over the last four years, Microsoft has highlighted its investment in digital content to the media industry through the Microsoft Digital Showcase event. As we enter our fifth year, we are thrilled to align our efforts and proud to participate as a ‘Founding Partner’ in the expanded format of the Digital Content NewFronts, which underscores Microsoft’s longstanding partnership across the agency and brand-marketer communities,” said Rick Song, General Manager Eastern US, Microsoft Advertising.
