How Twitter more than doubled its advertising audience

Twitter has revamped its mobile ad network to target up to 700 million consumers, more than double its own audience of 310 million users. The key to the larger reach is its ability to target lookalike users, ones who share characteristics with its core audience. Today, Twitter introduced new ad formats, like autoplay video ads, which it sells to outside publishing partners through its newly named Twitter Audience Platform. One audio brand, JBL, said the audience platform helped expand the reach of its Promoted Tweets by 70 percent, and consumers were 15 times more interested in the posts thanks to the targeting capabilities. Samsung and Macy's reported similar results. The post How Twitter more than doubled its advertising audience appeared first on Digiday. Continue reading at 'Digiday'
