He also tweeted that while advertising revenue in June did not meet expectations, \u201cJuly is a bit more promising.\u201d The prediction comes after Musk originally said the company could attain positive cash flow by June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">Twitter\u2019s troubles are being exacerbated by Threads, its new rival from Meta, according to Joseph Rothstein, founder and CEO of digital marketing agency Social Media 55.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">\u201cIt\u2019s going to impact Twitter\u2019s ad potential, because the moment the Meta platform ignites the ads platform for Threads\u2026it will be a recipe for success [for] Threads and I think it will be an additional challenge that Twitter is going to face,\u201d he told us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">While Threads may not offer official advertising at the moment, it will bring Instagram\u2019s branded content tools to the app soon, according to Axios. Last week, creator Adam Rose posted a thread promoting the show <em>Futurama<\/em> with the hashtag #HuluPartner, which Ad Age said is \u201cbeing called the first sponsored Thread.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">The app will unveil a slew of other features as well, according to Lia Haberman, a social media and influencer marketing professor with UCLA Extension. In her newsletter, Haberman said a \u201cThreads brand deck being sent to partners\u201d outlines plans for features including compatibility with social network Mastodon, improved search, and messaging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">It remains to be seen how Threads will fare in the coming weeks, however. According to CNBC, the time users spent on the app dropped 50% in its second week of operation, despite clocking 100 million users in its first week online.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">Threads is just the latest of Twitter\u2019s troubles. Since Musk purchased the platform last fall, many advertisers have jumped ship amid content moderation concerns, an issue further accentuated when former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson debuted his show on Twitter. Musk handed over the reins to former NBCU ad sales chief Linda Yaccarino in May, naming her CEO in what many saw as a move to\u00a0 bolster Twitter\u2019s ad revenue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">However, Rothstein said platforms like Threads could be the final nail in the coffin for Twitter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">\u201cI thought that [Twitter] would never fail. I now think that it\u2019s very plausible that they don\u2019t succeed. Because there are other options that people just might permanently shift toward.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingbrew.com\/stories\/2023\/07\/18\/twitter-s-ad-revenue-dropped-50-elon-musk-said?utm_source=&#038;utm_medium=syndication&#038;utm_campaign=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get marketing news you&#8217;ll actually want to read The email newsletter guaranteed to bring you the latest stories shaping the marketing and advertising world, like only the Brew can.
