Here’s what brands need to know about Twitter ad formats before taking advantage of paid media opportunities.
Twitter Ad Formats
When boosting on Twitter, your boosted ads will take the form of either “Promoted Ads” or “Follower Ads.”
Promoted Ads
Promoted Ads are ordinary Tweets purchased by advertisers who want to reach a wider group of users or spark engagement from their existing followers. They are just like regular Tweets and can be retweeted, replied to, liked, and more. All Promoted Ads are clearly labeled as “Promoted” when an advertiser is paying for their placement on Twitter.
Follower Ads
Follower Ads suggest Twitter accounts that people don’t currently follow and may find interesting. They help introduce a wider variety of accounts people may enjoy. Follower Ads are the result of creating a followers campaign – aimed at building an engaged audience to amplify your brand’s message.
