First View
Your video will be what consumers see at the beginning of their X session. Recent research from IPG shows that First View was the most effective video execution over a competing video platform takeover, with nearly double the aided brand and message recall. In fact, First View outperforms competing platforms on video viewing time by 1.4X. Bank of America used First View for its launch of Pay Back a Friend Day, which celebrated becoming #FriendsAgain by paying each other back in the Bank of America Mobile Banking app.
Grab the attention of consumers who might miss a traditional TV ad, too. One brand ran a campaign during a global sporting event and used First View and a Promoted Trend. The brand saw 22% incremental reach on X on top of their TV ad campaign. Go big and cut through the noise.

Bring your story to life.

Promoted Video
Keep the formula simple. Promoted Video lets you promote a video from a brand's X account. The video autoplays when shown in a person's timeline. For example, Subway used Promoted Video to promote its signature wrap, upping both its sandwich game and its video marketing creativity. Promoted Video is our most proven video ad solution, and drives brand metrics and sales. Stick to this tried-and-true ad format, or take it a step further and use the features below to achieve specific goals.

Video Website Cards deliver a 2X higher CTR than standard mobile video ad benchmarks. And, our cards boost user retention 60%+ because people are watching the video while the site loads.
