Meta's Strategy Shift: Direct Engagement with Advertisers as Authorized Sales Program Winds Down
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) is ending its authorized sales partner program to directly engage with advertisers, aiming for operational standardization. Entravision Communications, a key partner, is reassessing its strategy due to the program's significant revenue contribution. Meta's AI investments, including Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:NVDA) H100 GPUs, have been well-received, contrasting its earlier metaverse strategy. Investors can access Meta through ETFs like The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:XLC) and Fidelity MSCI Communication Services Index ETF (NYSE:FCOM).
