X, stepping into a video-first future, is unleashing Creator Targeting this month to bridge advertisers with top creators. With 80,000 creators on board since July, it's a move to rival YouTube and innovate in shopping, video projects, and peer-to-peer payments.
X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, is on a mission to redefine social commerce with its latest arsenal: the Creator Targeting tool. Launching this February, it's a game-changer for advertisers aiming to partner with the crème de la crème of content creators. With a simple click, ads will now pre-roll on selected creators' content, promising a curated audience for brands and a lucrative deal for creators.
Imagine tapping into a "curated list" of premium creators, each a potential goldmine for your brand. That's the promise of X's new tool. With over 80,000 creators joining the ad revenue-sharing program since last July, X is not just a platform; it's a burgeoning marketplace brimming with opportunities for video ads and beyond.

October brought whispers of X challenging the video and commerce giants. Teaming up with Paris Hilton and 11:11 Media, X is pushing the envelope with live video, commerce, and the intriguing Spaces. It's not just about ads; it's about creating a vibrant ecosystem where creators, advertisers, and viewers thrive in a symbiotic dance.
X's audacious goal? To morph into "the everything app." With plans for peer-to-peer payments on the horizon, X envisions a platform where commerce, content, and communication converge seamlessly. It's a bold move, one that might just redefine our digital interactions and marketplace dynamics in the years to come.
