Awareness

Promoted Trend

Maximize awareness and conversation at scale around your brand by owning the top trending topic on Twitter for 24 hours.

The Promoted Trend is a 24-hour takeover of the top Trends list — the home of real-time discovery. Promoted Trends are a high-impact placement for your message that drives mass awareness, enables user discovery and scales your campaign across Twitter.

First View

Maximize reach on Twitter for 24 hours with Twitter’s most valuable video impressions. 

First View is a premium, single-day, “mass awareness” ad package of Twitter’s most valuable video impressions. It is placement, not an ad format. A number of ad formats can be used as First Views (see specs for formats). When purchased advertisers get priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day along with additional impressions delivered throughout the timeline to maximize awareness within a single day.

Branded Emojis

Drive Engagement

Promoted Account

Build awareness and attract new followers by promoting an account to a targeted audience.

Promoted Account cards are designed to increase visibility and grow your followers. They appear as Promoted Tweets in the person’s timeline and as Promoted Accounts in the Who to Follow boxes on the Home, Profile, and Search results pages.

Promoted Poll

Engage your audience and gain valuable insights by adding interactive polls to your ads.

Media Polls are a great way to engage with followers by adding a poll question to videos. Polls are an effective way of prompting users to engage with your content, and combining polls with visual elements gives users something specific and eye-catching to orient your question around.

Brand Reminders

Enable users to raise their hand to receive valuable content or experiences directly from the brand, at the moment that matters most.

When a user Likes the brand’s call-to-action Tweet, a third-party application (Arrow by IC Group) will automatically publish an instant @mention from your brand to thank them for opting in. Brands may also choose to have users opt-in with a Retweet instead of a like.

At a later date of the brand’s choosing, the brand will automatically publish a follow-up “Reminder” Tweet @ each opted-in user to deliver the promised content.

Drive Conversation

Tweet to Unlock

Drive engagement and conversation with embedded Tweet buttons that prompt users to Tweet about your brand to all their followers.

Conversational ads are Promoted Tweets with compelling images or videos that include call-to-action buttons with customizable hashtags. Once clicked, the button creates a pre-populated Tweet that users can customize or Tweet out. Conversational Ads have proven to be an effective way of engaging with customers and driving them to share a brand’s message.

Upon clicking on the video unit, the destination URL loads and the video shifts to the top of the screen and continues to play. The video then scrolls with the page.

App Card

Drive engagement with your apps.

Twitter’s Mobile App Promotion (MAP) product suite enables advertisers to acquire high-quality users at scale and re-engage existing app audiences. With the App Card, marketers can drive greater engagement and click-throughs by commanding a greater share of screen.
