Threads to Bring Ads to the Platform Early Next Year
Threads Introduces Advertising Strategy
Threads, a platform under Meta, is on the brink of integrating advertisements in early 2024, according to insights from The Information. This strategic change aims to incorporate a small group of advertisers by January.
Meta's Financial Outlook
Meta's CEO, Adam Mosseri, acknowledged the necessity of ads for financial viability, reiterating, “Threads needs to make enough money to pay for the people and servers that it takes to run the service and provide it to people for free.” In its latest earnings report, Meta revealed an impressive $39.8 billion in ad revenue, accounting for 97% of total income.
Ad Placement Insights
While details about how ads will be displayed on Threads are still emerging, they may appear as “sponsored” posts, as noted by reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi. Currently, no ads are active on Threads, as per Meta spokesperson Matthew Tye's statement.
Potential Impact on Advertisers
Advertisers are considering Threads as a potential alternative to X, especially in light of shifts in leadership and marketing strategies across platforms. However, Bluesky's CEO has pledged to maintain a non-commercial atmosphere, differentiating their approach from Threads.
