In today’s ExchangeWire news digest: Twitter turns to programmatic advertising as worth plummets; TikTok CEO to lead new app; and Dentsu’s global ad report shows slowed growth.
For the first time, Twitter is making its advertising inventory accessible for purchase in the open programmatic market. This move could aid in alleviating some of the company’s monetary shortfalls – Twitter is now worth just 33%, USD$15bn (~£12.13bn), of what Elon Musk originally paid for the social media platform.
In attempts to circumvent backlash over the company’s Chinese ownership, TikTok is placing its Singapore-based CEO, Shou Zi Chew, in charge of its new social media app, Lemon8. The app, a Pinterest-like platform for lifestyle content, launched in the US and UK last February. It gained popularity with nearly one million US downloads in late March to early April, making it one of the top 10 most downloaded apps.
Dentsu’s latest ad spend forecast shows that global ad spend in 2023 is expected to grow at a slightly slower rate than previously predicted due to macroeconomic factors, with a slight decline in advertising spend at constant prices. However, the outlook for 2024 is more positive, with a projected increase driven by major events like the UEFA European Championship and the presidential election. Digital ad spend will continue to grow, but at a lower rate than usual, with single-unit increases becoming the norm in the coming years.
