Brand Universe team already gone, featured bloggers on Yahoo cutting block
A source close to the company tells us Yahoo has dismissed the entire Brand Universe team that reported to the already-booted Vince Broady. "Guess that was a real stinker, wasn't it?" our source notes. A separate source with inside knowledge has other fresh details on the impending Yahoo layoffs.
Expect Yahoo to "dump some featured bloggers" and other content creators for sites like Yahoo Food, Tech, and Finance, this source said. But don't expect a major bloodletting. "The cuts are so small that this is more like a repurposing of headcount," he says.
