News Corp. is expanding its ad buying agreement with Twitter for another two years and adding Barron’s, MarketWatch.com and Investor’s Business Daily content to the agreement, reports Sara Guaglione of Digiday.
Guaglione reports, “Publishers can monetize content on Twitter through the platform’s pre-roll ad program called Twitter Amplify Sponsorships. Revenue for the news category within Amplify Sponsorships is up over 60% year-over-year. Amplify Sponsorships enable advertisers to buy ads against a set of content posted to Twitter by a publisher like Dow Jones; the ads can be purchased directly from the publisher or from Twitter. That content can include videos, Twitter polls, Twitter Moments (curated collections of tweets about a topic or event), live streams or Spaces (Twitter’s live audio product).
“While the Journal provides news on the markets and personal finance, Barron’s, MarketWatch and Investor’s Business Daily will have content on retirement, small businesses, real estate and the economy for Amplify Sponsorships, Rosen said. Content from those three brands have been available to advertisers since the beginning of this month.”
