Our team has chosen Netflix for the case study assignment. Netflix is a multidimensional company with a large audience, making it suitable for various promotional tactics. After researching and advertising through the month of November, our program planning will begin in December. When viewers watch any new movie on the holiday list, Netflix will donate a dollar to Toys for Tots in the spirit of the holidays. Toys for Tots is a popular charity that gives Christmas gifts to children whose families cannot afford to buy gifts.
