But the platform owned by Elon Musk still sent some ad sales folks to Cannes where they are trying to convince advertisers the company cares about brand safety, Ad Age’s Garrett Sloane reports.

Meantime, Chris Riedy, Twitter’s head of ad sales, tweeted that “more than 75% of 2022’s Top 100 advertisers have returned to paid media on Twitter.” And Tim Perzyk, VP of marketing and research at Twitter, used the platform to solicit Cannes gatherings, saying, “If you’re not already meeting with us, give us a shout.” Twitter competitor Meta—which does have a beach—is plugging its brand safety tools as a strength, while also touting plans to serve more ads into Reels.
