The UAW and General Motors consented to an offer at the end of October that would put an end to bargaining, following previous arrangements with Ford Motor and Stellantis

Jeff Green, Trade Desk’s CEO, stated on the profits call that “starting about the second week of October, we began to see some transitory cautiousness around certain advertisers.”
“We saw some reduction in brand spend in verticals such as automotive and consumer electronics, for instance, specifically around cell phones and media and entertainment,” Green stated. “Some of these industries have been recently impacted by strikes, such as the U.S. auto industry.”
