19 Nov Twitter Launches Story-Like ‘Fleets’ & This Week’s Digital Marketing News [PODCAST]
Hosts Jess Budde, Greg Finn, and Christine “Shep” Zirnheld are here to deliver the digital marketing news you may have missed this week.
If you’re unable to listen on Spotify, be sure to catch the video version of the show on the Search Engine Journal YouTube channel.
Fleets Launch for Twitter Users
Twitter finally launched its “Fleets” feature.
Similar to the popular Story feature from other social media platforms, these updates expire after 24 hours.
After the initial launch, the feature was being tested so much that Twitter had to slow the rollout to fix some issues.
Twitter Introduces Carousel Ads
Twitter launched a familiar social media ad format for advertisers globally, carousel ads.
Marketers can add up to 6 images or videos and users will be able to scroll through to see more creative and messaging.
YouTube May Run Ads on Non-Monetized Content
YouTube’s updated Terms of Service now allow the streaming platform to insert ads into videos that are not part of the YouTube Partner Program.
If you’re a creator, this change means that YouTube can now put ads on your content even if you try to opt-out.
Creators will not profit off of the ads on their videos unless they are eligible for the YouTube Partner Program and choose to opt-in.
