X Collaborates with Google to Revitalize Ad Sales

Recently, we came across some interesting news that we couldn't wait to share with all of you. X, which many of us fondly remember as Twitter, has decided to join hands with the tech behemoth, Google, aiming to breathe new life into its advertising efforts. This collaboration seemed like a necessary pivot after Elon Musk unveiled a significant dip in revenue since his takeover last October. To be precise, X experienced a nosedive, losing almost half its ad revenue.

From what we've gathered, the core of this partnership revolves around X adopting Google's renowned Ads Manager. This will, hopefully, allow X to streamline and boost its advertising sales—a sphere where it appeared to be losing its grip.

While we see this move as X's bid to revitalize its ad sales, there's an inherent challenge awaiting Google. We all know Google's stringent stance on ad quality and safety. With X in the picture, it'll be interesting to see how Google ensures the ads live up to its standards. A little birdie told us that any ads sourced from Google and displayed on X will carry a clear "promoted" label. This ensures transparency, letting advertisers and users alike trace the ad's origin. A noteworthy feature for advertisers like us is the option to exclude X if we have any concerns.

But here's the kicker: X isn't putting all its eggs in the Google basket. They've got a few tricks up their sleeve. We've heard of an exclusive ad credit offer targeting smaller advertisers. This, coupled with new safety protocols, tells us X is committed to creating a reliable ad space. And let's not forget the internal shakeup—Carrie Stimmel is stepping in as the new global agency leader. We’re eager to see the direction she takes.
