Through this process, we've made strategic decisions that resulted in some role reductions that were made today. This means we will be saying goodbye to some of our talented colleagues across the organization.
Over the past six months, we have made progress against these goals. We have continued to produce the highest quality products and content experiences for our audiences, realigned our advertising organization around client industries to make it easier for our advertising partners to work with us, and sharpened our focus on the solutions side of our business. We have also reimagined our broader organizational structure to drive long-term consumer growth when the economy improves.
