Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter is turning to Linda Yaccarino, a former NBCUniversal marketing executive, to help the firm restore its relationship with brands after losing business as a result of his purchase and rollback of the site’s content guidelines.
Mr. Musk asked his followers in December whether he should step down as CEO and 57.5% said yes.
Twitter recently lost two executives in charge of ensuring the site’s moderation for violence, hate speech, pornography, and other content that businesses are afraid to promote alongside their products.
As of Monday, Twitter’s US advertising revenue was $88 million in the five weeks from April 1, a 59% decrease from the previous year.
