Several major advertisers of embattled digital-media startup Ozy Media are putting their ad campaigns on hold in the wake of a New York Times article that raised questions about the company’s business practices.
Ford Motor Co. , Airbnb Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Target Corp. are among the advertisers that have paused their campaigns, according to people familiar with the matter. Together, the paused ad campaigns—which include other companies—amount to about $5 million in revenue for Ozy, one of the people said.
