Effective Marketing with X


In 2022, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, announced he was buying Twitter for $44 billion. In July 2023, he changed the name to X, a move that surprised many. This change has significantly impacted how businesses market themselves online. Today, X is a key platform where people around the world get their news, sports updates, and political information. For me, it is an important tool to stay updated and follow my favorite celebrities.

One major change in 2023 is that X has become focused on video content. Research shows that eight of ten user sessions now include videos. I often find myself engaging more with videos than with text posts, as they capture my attention better. This shift means brands are creating more engaging content that can grab attention. Video is often more appealing than text or images, allowing companies to showcase their products and services in lively ways. As users prefer video, brands are finding new ways to connect, using everything from short promotional clips to live-streamed events.

X has also added several new features that help brands engage with their audience. For example, with the new audio and video calling options, businesses can have real-time conversations with customers, making interactions feel more personal. I find this feature exciting because I never thought X would allow real-time business conversations. Another addition is X Hiring, which helps companies find talent while promoting their workplace culture. Upgrades to Spaces allow brands to host live audio discussions, creating opportunities to connect directly with their communities through Q&A sessions and more.

Additionally, X offers different premium tiers to improve user experience and advertising options. The Basic tier includes important features like post-editing and longer posts, allowing brands to craft their messages carefully. The Premium tier adds benefits such as fewer ads, chances for ad revenue sharing, and tools to optimize marketing campaigns. The Premium+ tier provides an ad-free experience in key areas, helping brands gain visibility without interruptions. This variety helps businesses choose the options that best fit their needs.

One interesting fact is that users on X spend 26% more time viewing ads compared to other social media platforms. This means the audience on X is not just engaged; they are also open to marketing messages. For brands looking to grow their influence and reach new customers, targeted advertising on X can be an effective strategy. Personally, I have seen ads for services I didn’t know I needed, which shows how effective this can be.

As X continues to develop, its focus on new marketing strategies makes it a powerful tool for businesses. By embracing video content, interactive features, and various advertising options, companies can engage more effectively in a changing digital world. As X grows, it offers fresh opportunities for brands to connect with their audiences and succeed in a competitive market. For me, using X is not only about following trends; it is about seeing how businesses adapt to meet the needs of their customers.

  1. I think it is very important to understand how drastic the shift from Twitter to X really was for business. The text states that in 2022, X lost over half of their top advertisers that spent $2 billion dollars through 2020 to 2022. I see this as opening the market for new businesses to make their mark in advertising.
