The Skeleton of Twitter Ads
• Promoted Trends, Accounts, TWEETS• Promoted trends are like #SUPERBOWL &
promoted accounts are like @CAPTAINMORGAN
• Central tension in Twitter's ad-business model is BRAND vs. DIRECT-RESPONSE. Twitter is actively more brand-centric.

The Creative• Dark Tweets - don't show up in your account's
organic timeline, optionally exclude organic followers. You can be more Sales-y

Audience Targeting
• Earlier in 2014, in addition to targeting lists of handles and followers of handles:
• Custom CRM audiences The catch is you can't just upload your own list, you need an agency partner to hash your email list and send it to Twitter
• Retargeting pixels available , but you have to get it through a partner agency

Non-obvious: Lead-gen Cards
• Lead-gen cards - the smoothest PII capture on mobile:
• Tap to get an email address! • Works for inside sales model. • If you are a business that can value a newly
acquired email, lead-gen cards are for you.

Example: iframe Lead-Gen Card
• iframe lead-form (same as Vines/music players - but for leads)
• Was in test earlier in 2014 - I believe that is still in test - and they may kill it before it gets GA

Example: Conversion Pixel
• Conversion pixel: GA in Q1 2014. View-through vs. click-through conversions.
@matjohnson, [email protected]
Success Metrics Complexity
• Twitter is more explicit reporting view-through vs. click-through conversions than FB
• Startup marketers: don't care about 'engagements' - that is some made-up obfuscation to sell to big brand marketers.

Attribution Complexity
• Multi-touch attribution: First?/Last?/Linear?• Overlap between platforms– FB & TW no observed overlap/cookie-jacking

Twitter Ads are a Changing• Features & ad products available in 3 stages:
private beta, through agency partners, g.a:

The Battle Plan
• Manage paid social like organic social• A/B test, but not too strictly: when you find a
message that resonates, let it ride - but keep pumping new tweets in multiple times per week.
• Have a well-defined POV on conversion definition & revenue attribution
