Bye Bye Birdie? Advertisers Flee Twitter Post-Acquisition
Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) spending on Twitter fell by around 20% in the two weeks following Elon Musk's acquisition of the social media platform, according to Pathmatics Advertiser data. The largest category of US advertiser spending on Twitter also saw a year-on-year drop of around 38%. Advertisers shifted their ad dollars to Snapchat and Facebook, which saw a 7% and 2% increase in CPG ad spend respectively. However, bookings on Twitter jumped 330% in the two days after the platform offered users a "verified" checkmark for an $8 subscription.
