Use Twitter to connect with what’s happening and build cultural relevance

Events, movements, and conversations happen everyday that shape our culture. In these moments, people and brands raise their voices to express their opinions. They’re connecting with what’s happening.

With record user growth, the most real-time conversations, and premium, brand safe content, Twitter is the best place to build relevance by being part of the conversation.

And it’s not any conversation — it’s the conversation that shapes what’s happening in culture, thanks to our influential and receptive audience.

Tips for how to connect on Twitter

Build a four-part phased approach:

Immerse

Uncover the ins-and-outs of the topic and get familiar with the pulses of conversation: the themes, highlights, and anticipated moments.

Hype

Seed your message and build on the anticipation by naturally building association with the topic.

Participate

Take part in the peak of the conversation.

React

Take advantage of the short window after the peak to gradually phase out of the conversation.

Expand your campaign run time beyond just the event day to yield 2X more engagement, +35% greater view through, and 3X better cost efficiency⁴
Find your opportunity for cultural relevance in the overlap of your target audience, brand story, and topic of connection. What can you say that allows you to participate in the conversation while adding value?
Use the immerse phase to prepare and organize your content, while using the other three phases to Tweet your planned content. Anticipate possible new content during the participation phase, and prep reactive content for unexpected changes during the participation and react phases.
Use 3+ ad formats to drive +20% campaign awareness and +7% purchase intent⁵
Use premium Twitter Ads products to maximize impact, such as Twitter Amplify, Video Ads, Polls, Conversation Buttons, Website Buttons, Timeline Takeover, and Trend Takeover/Trend Takeover+*
