Amid declining US ad revenue for Twitter, the allure of this platform for digital marketers is waning, prompting a search for alternatives. Brands are increasingly turning away from Twitter for their campaigns, seeking more promising landscapes for their messages. From Threads to Bluesky to Substack Notes, a host of options are emerging, offering unique opportunities for adverts in the digital space.
Today, we journey through eight such platforms, recognizing their potential as Twitter substitutes in the realm of digital advertising.
A rising star on the social media horizon, Threads is a product from Meta, the company behind Facebook. This rapidly emerging platform has won an extensive user base, compelling brands such as Netflix, HBO, and Billboard to mark their digital footprints on Threads. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has set ambitious growth targets for Threads, stating his belief it will eventually surpass Twitter. While currently available in several countries and across various mobile operating systems, Threads has yet to unlock ad spaces. Yet, given the previous success of advertising expansion with sister app Instagram, it seems this is a matter of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’.
Next, we tread into the blueskies of an alternative social networking platform – aptly named Bluesky. An invite-only decentralized online space, Bluesky’s user base includes some of the world’s popular figures. Still in a budding phase, Bluesky’s full launch remains poised on the horizon, meanwhile interested users can join a waiting list. Rather than merely copying traditional advertising strategies, Bluesky is exploring new monetization avenues – marking a significant point of difference from Twitter.
Shifting from social networking to independent writing, Substack Notes emerges as a powerful alternative. The platform allows individual writers to share their thoughts, ideas, and creativity and engage in meaningful conversations. Chris Best, the founder of Substack, has expressed a strong pushback against conventional advertising as a source of revenue, suggesting a fresh approach for marketers.
Exploring further into the landscape of Twitter alternatives, platforms like LinkedIn, Snapchat, YouTube, TikTok, and Reddit also offer unique opportunities for targeted advertising. Each with its distinct audience, these platforms breed unique advertising prospects for businesses, making them worth the exploration.
The decline of Twitter as an advertising platform spotlights the need for alternative digital spaces. Other platforms from the likes of Meta to independent bodies like Substack are stepping up, promising a range of unique ad spaces. Marketers should, therefore, keep an open mind, ready to embrace these platforms, and adapt to an evolving digital advertising landscape in 2023.
By reconsidering their advertising strategies to include Twitter substitutes, marketers can truly utilize the digital space to its full potential. The key lies in understanding the unique value each platform offers and matching it with their demographic and advertising goals.
Let’s explore these Twitter alternatives together as we surf the wave of future digital marketing. Change is the only constant, and in the digital advertising domain, this couldn’t ring truer. Commence the exploration, and ride the crest of this wave as it forms. The journey promises to be interesting and rewarding.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
