<p>Social media platforms constantly vie for dominance and user engagement. This year, a new rivalry has emerged, capturing the attention of marketers and social media enthusiasts alike: X (formerly known as Twitter) versus Meta’s Threads. As the battle heats up, marketers are placing their bets, and the stakes are higher than ever.</p>
<h4>The Contenders</h4>
<p><strong>X (Formerly Twitter)</strong><br />X, the rebranded version of Twitter, continues to be a powerhouse in the social media arena. Known for its concise and real-time communication, X has maintained a loyal user base despite various controversies and changes in leadership. It remains a go-to platform for breaking news, public discourse, and brand engagement.</p>
<p><strong>Threads</strong><br />On the other side is Threads, Meta’s latest venture. Positioned as a direct competitor to X, Threads aims to provide a similar microblogging experience but with a twist of Meta’s broader ecosystem. With seamless integration with Instagram, Threads promises to leverage visual content more effectively, appealing to users who prefer a richer multimedia experience.</p>
<h4>Marketers’ Perspectives</h4>
<p>A <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/hubspot-blog-marketing-industry-trends-report" rel="noopener">recent survey of 1,400 global marketers</a> provides insight into the preferences and expectations surrounding these platforms. According to the data, 68% of marketers anticipate greater success with X in 2024 compared to Threads. This preference highlights a significant trend: marketers are favoring established platforms with proven track records over newer entrants.</p>
<h4>Why X Holds the Advantage</h4>
<p><strong>Established User Base</strong><br />One of the primary reasons marketers are leaning towards X is its established user base. With millions of active users, X offers a ready-made audience that is familiar with the platform’s functionalities. This established base allows brands to engage without the need to build a following from scratch.</p>
<p><strong>Real-Time Engagement</strong><br />X’s strength lies in its ability to facilitate real-time conversations. This feature is crucial for brands looking to engage with their audience during live events, breaking news, or trending topics. The immediacy of X makes it an invaluable tool for timely marketing campaigns and customer interactions.</p>
<p><strong>Innovative Features</strong><br />Despite its age, X continues to innovate. Recent updates include enhanced multimedia capabilities and better tools for content creators. These features not only keep the platform relevant but also provide marketers with new ways to engage their audience.</p>
<h4>The Challenges for Threads</h4>
<p><strong>Building a User Base</strong><br />While Threads benefits from Meta’s vast network, building a dedicated user base for a new platform is always challenging. The initial excitement can wane if the platform does not quickly deliver unique value or differentiate itself significantly from existing options.</p>
<p><strong>Competing with X’s Real-Time Nature</strong><br />Threads faces the challenge of competing with X’s real-time engagement capabilities. While it offers a more visual and integrated experience with Instagram, it needs to develop features that match or surpass X’s strengths in facilitating immediate, wide-reaching conversations.</p>
<p><strong>Market Skepticism</strong><br />There is also a level of skepticism among marketers about investing heavily in a new platform. The survey mentioned above  indicated that only 13% of marketers who do not currently use Threads plan to start in 2024. This cautious approach stems from the need to see consistent performance and user engagement before committing resources.</p>
<h4>The Road Ahead</h4>
<p>The rivalry between X and Threads is a testament to the dynamic nature of social media. For marketers, this competition means more options and innovative features to explore. However, the decision on where to invest resources will ultimately come down to each platform’s ability to deliver on its promises and engage users effectively.</p>
<h4>Conclusion</h4>
<p>As we move through 2024, the social media showdown between X and Threads will be one to watch. While X currently holds the upper hand due to its established user base and real-time engagement capabilities, Threads has the potential to carve out its niche within Meta’s ecosystem. For marketers, staying adaptable and keeping a close eye on the performance and evolution of these platforms will be crucial in leveraging the best opportunities for engagement and growth.</p>
<p>In this fast-paced digital age, the winners will be those who can quickly adapt to new trends while maintaining strong connections with their audience on proven platforms. The X vs. Threads battle is just beginning, and the future of social media marketing promises to be more exciting than ever.</p>

<p>Automakers have a reason to take a more cautious approach to X compared with other advertisers, given Musk also runs electric vehicle giant Tesla, which has become more of a competitor to traditional automakers as they plow more investments into EVs.

<p>Hunter said Stellantis is taking a “wait and watch” approach, but called <a target="_blank" href="https://adage.com/article/media/twitter-ceo-linda-yaccarino-everything-advertisers-need-know/2494316" class="omnitrack inline-paragraph-link" data-omnilocation="articlebody" data-omnilink="editorial-link" rel="noopener">the Yaccarino hire</a> “a great move.”</p>
<p>While she said she has not noticed “an immediate difference” under Yaccarino, “I&#8217;m sure a lot of that is happening behind the scenes … I think we&#8217;ll give her a little bit of time to get her sea legs—although with Linda, it doesn&#8217;t take very long because she&#8217;s pretty much pro of all pros.”</p>
<p>As it waits on Twitter (now X), Stellantis has begun experimenting on Meta’s Threads, <a target="_blank" href="https://adage.com/article/digital-marketing-ad-tech-news/instagrams-threads-poised-steal-twitter-advertisers/2503126" class="omnitrack inline-paragraph-link" data-omnilocation="articlebody" data-omnilink="editorial-link" rel="noopener">the X competitor</a> that debuted earlier this month. “We&#8217;ve done a couple of pilot tests and trials specific to some of the Jeep brand activity,” Hunter said, adding “the engagement results that we&#8217;ve seen on a preliminary basis have been directionally positive.” One recent Thread from Jeep leaned into the <a target="_blank" href="https://adage.com/article/marketing-news-strategy/barbie-represents-new-era-movie-and-entertainment-marketing/2504741" class="omnitrack inline-paragraph-link" data-omnilocation="articlebody" data-omnilink="editorial-link" rel="noopener">“Barbie” marketing hype.</a></p>

<li>Threads is the newest app to take social media by storm.</li>
<li>With over 150 million downloads, brands and marketers alike are eyeing the platform.</li>
<li>Insider spoke with influencer marketing experts and creators about  sponsored content on Threads.</li>
</ul>
<p>There may not be hashtags yet on Instagram&#8217;s new app Threads, but that&#8217;s not stopping #ads from appearing all over the latest social-media platform.</p>
<p>Within two days of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/instagram-threads-set-to-launch-early-creators-react-new-app-2023-7" data-analytics-product-module="body_link"><u>Threads&#8217; launch on July 5</u></a>, certain brands and influencers started posting paid, sponsored content.</p>
<p>Streaming platform Hulu inked a deal via influencer-marketing company Influential with comedy creator Adam Rose, who has an audience of over 4 million on TikTok and was given early access to Threads. Meanwhile, creator-economy startup Hashtag Pay Me partnered with micro influencer Kristen Bousquet.</p>
<p>Hashtag Pay Me offered Bousquet $200 to promote the company on her Instagram stories and on Threads just a day after the app launched.</p>
<p>&#8220;Once we finished that partnership, I used that as an intro to reach back out to other brands that I&#8217;ve worked with previously,&#8221; Bousquet told Insider. She&#8217;s since posted more sponsored content to Threads.</p>

<p>Threads has posted record growth with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/threads-150-million-downloads-100-million-active-users-engagement-2023-7#:~:text=It%20took%20that%20app%20about,to%20a%20data%20research%20firm." data-analytics-product-module="body_link"><u>more than 150 million downloads</u></a><strong> </strong>in its first two weeks. Brands are quickly taking note of its potential.</p>
<p>&#8220;Anytime there&#8217;s a new platform that comes out, there are a couple of things that brands get excited about,&#8221; said Krishna Subramanian, cofounder of influencer-marketing platform Captiv8. &#8220;One is the eyeballs and being that first mover and doing something that&#8217;s very unique to that platform that gets a lot of exciting attention. As you start to move on, it really comes down to how you can drive results from that platform specifically.&#8221;</p>
<p>Affiliate links from platforms like LTK and Amazon are also peppered throughout the Threads feed.</p>
<p>&#8220;With a new platform like this, we always tell our existing creators, &#8216;Look, this is an expansion opportunity for you,'&#8221; said Amber Venz Box, cofounder and president of LTK. &#8220;We also look to see who really creates something out of this new space. We will see a new generation of creators who take advantage of this first-mover opportunity that only comes every few years.&#8221;</p>
<p>Parent company Meta is keen to make Threads as advertising-friendly as its sister app Instagram. A week after the app launched, the company was already looking into introducing branded content tools, per <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.axios.com/2023/07/11/threads-instagram-branded-content-tools" data-analytics-product-module="body_link"><u>Axios</u></a>.</p>
<p>The tools have yet to launch, and even then, marketers will need concrete metrics to judge how paid content performs. Several influencer-marketing experts told Insider that Threads is just too new, and while it has rudimentary metrics like likes, replies, and reposts, it lacks crucial data like demographics, impressions, reach, and post saves.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a marketer, you need data in hand,&#8221; said Alessandro Bogliari, cofounder and CEO of The Influencer Marketing Factory. &#8220;Without data, you have nothing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Determining how much creators should get paid will also take a while, and some are bound to lose out.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are no benchmarks for what creators should be pricing for a Thread, so it feels like the Wild Wild West right now,&#8221; said Ayomi Samaraweera, founder of startup Canopy for Creators.</p>
<p>Insider spoke with 14<strong> </strong>influencer marketing experts, creators, and startup founders to see what the early days of brand partnerships look like on Threads. For some, the new turf is unlocking opportunity and expanding reach. Others are skeptical of the platform because of issues like data collection, and the desire to keep their feeds &#8220;ad-free.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meta did not respond to Insider&#8217;s request for comment.</p>
<h2><strong>Threads is a shiny new object for influencer marketing</strong></h2>
<p>When Hulu teamed up with Rose for the company&#8217;s first sponsored post on Threads promoting the animated series &#8220;Futurama,&#8221; it measured success on &#8220;innovation and buzz,&#8221; for lack of better metrics, Brittany Mehciz, Hulu&#8217;s VP of social media and influencer partnerships, said in a statement.</p>
<p>The sponsored post, framed as &#8220;Which Futurama character are you?&#8221; has more than 760 likes and over 140 replies. To measure the success of the Hulu promotion, Rose is eyeing engagement on the post.</p>
<p>&#8220;How many likes is it getting compared to my organic posts?&#8221; Rose said. &#8220;And more importantly with a particular piece of content like this where it&#8217;s question-and-answer based, how many replies are you getting?&#8221;</p>
<p>To begin with, Threads sponsorships are not likely to be exclusive to the app, and brands may ask creators to post on other social-media platforms when discussing a paid collaboration. Both Bousquet&#8217;s and Rose&#8217;s deal included cross-posting to Instagram, for example.</p>
<p>Many influencer-marketing executives see a lot of potential in the direct relationship between Instagram and Threads.</p>
<p>&#8220;The shareability between platforms is something that&#8217;s quite attractive,&#8221; said Thomas Walters, the Europe CEO and cofounder of influencer-marketing agency Billion Dollar Boy. &#8220;It&#8217;s a simpler ask to pull together a program that&#8217;s featured across such closely related apps.&#8221;</p>
<p>Besides sponsored posts, affiliate marketing is also finding its mojo on the app, like on Amazon Prime Day.</p>

<div class="lazy-holder " style="padding-top: calc(100% * 1130 / 1248)">

                        </div>
<p>                          <span class="image-source-caption undefined"><figcaption class="image-caption headline-bold" data-e2e-name="image-caption">
                                  Ajai Guyot posted an Amazon link to Threads during Amazon Prime Day.<br />
                                </figcaption><span class="image-source headline-regular" data-e2e-name="image-source" itemprop="creditText"></p>

                              </span><br />
                          </figure>
<p>As a part of the annual event, which came a week after Threads launched, creator Ajai Guyot posted an affiliate link to curtains that were on sale and found it much more seamless than sharing a link on an Instagram story or directing people to a link in bio.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been tracking my Amazon storefront and dashboard, seeing how many times the link was clicked,&#8221; Guyot said. &#8220;And so far it&#8217;s more than it&#8217;s been when I put it in my stories.&#8221;</p>
<p>Threads is also an appealing Twitter alternative to brands. After years of grappling with a lack of moderation and polarizing content on Twitter, advertisers may find a boon in Threads.</p>
<p>After Elon Musk took over, brand safety has become even more of a concern, said Ryan Detert, founder and CEO of Influential.</p>
<p>Some brands and users who built most of their online presence and businesses on Twitter are starting to pull out or question whether to continue using it, including social-media consultant Matt Navarra, who&#8217;s used Twitter as the main platform for his business for years.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are a lot of people, and I would be one of them, that are keen to have a true Twitter alternative and a way to escape the platform of Twitter at this time because of what&#8217;s been going on there and what Elon Musk&#8217;s decisions have been,&#8221; Navarra said.</p>
<p>While Meta&#8217;s had its own moderation qualms, Instagram has become a top destination for advertisers and Threads could soon be added to their list of platforms to run sponsored content on.</p>
<h2><strong>To advertise or not to advertise</strong></h2>
<p>Even though many brands are taking active steps to integrate Threads into their marketing plans, some creators are hesitant to go all-in.</p>
<p>A few are carefully monitoring the app in the hopes that Meta will make good on its promise to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/threads-adds-new-features-after-quick-release-competes-with-twitter-2023-7" data-analytics-product-module="body_link"><u>soon introduce</u></a> engagement analytics on Threads so that brands and creators can track how sponsored content performs.</p>
<p>Lifestyle creator Sooraj Saxena said he&#8217;s waiting for the platform to &#8220;mature a bit&#8221; before he adds it to his toolkit.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want more analytics to work with before I get started,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Others are also concerned about <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/data-threads-meta-instagram-privacy-zuckerberg-browser-app-ads-highlights-2023-7" data-analytics-product-module="body_link"><u>the way Threads collects user data</u></a>. One video creator, who wished to remain anonymous for this story, said that he was concerned about how the platform stores information, accesses the camera and microphone, and more.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m on enough apps already where they monitor me, so I don&#8217;t want to add another one to the mix,&#8221; the creator said.</p>

                          </figure>
<p>Some creators see Threads as a clean slate that should be free of influencer marketing.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have zero plans to monetize Threads. Ever. In fact, I don&#8217;t want to see it,&#8221; fashion and lifestyle creator Taryn Hicks told Insider. &#8220;As a creator, but also as a person who enjoys using the app, when you start monetizing platforms [and] putting ads in, is when apps start losing the fun and losing the vibe of that best friend chat. I don&#8217;t have ads in my group texts with my best friends.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some creators, like travel creator Jessica Ufuoma, are turning down sponsored content requests from brands for this reason.</p>
<p>&#8220;Threads being quite new, I&#8217;m taking a more cautious approach first,&#8221; said Ufuoma. &#8220;Introducing paid collabs at this time may be tone deaf.&#8221;</p>
<p>For these and other reasons, the app will need to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/creators-share-features-they-wish-instagrams-app-threads-had-missing-2023-7" data-analytics-product-module="body_link">launch new features</a> fast — such as hashtags, improved search, trend discovery, and more — if it wants to keep the momentum going. If usage plummets, it won&#8217;t be worth it for brands to spend money marketing on the platform.</p>

<p>Amid ongoing chaos at Twitter, the Meta Threads app has been penned in for launch on 6 July, as the Facebook and Instagram parent company looks to take advantage of what it perceives to be an emerging gap in the market.</p>
<p>The new Meta Threads app has already appeared in app stores ahead of its official release date, with more details about what the app is and how it works now available.</p>
<p>Threads will be connected to Instagram, allowing users to keep the same handle and maintain the same follower lists. However, while Instagram is a visual platform, Threads will be a text-focused micro-blogging app, a clear indication that Meta is looking to compete directly with Twitter.</p>
<p>Twitter owner Elon Musk made headline news over the weekend as he introduced a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/01/twitter-applies-reading-limit-after-users-report-issues-with-platform" rel="noopener">reading limit</a> for users on the platform. Subscribers to the Twitter Blue premium service were initially limited to reading 6,000 posts per day, while non-subscribers were limited to just 600.</p>
<p>The move was widely panned, despite Musk’s protests that it was necessary to address “data-scraping” issues.</p>
<p>This was just the latest in a long line of questionable decisions made by Musk, who continues to attempt to bring advertisers back to the platform after his controversial takeover in 2022.</p>
<p>Recently, Twitter confirmed plans to introduce a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.affiversemedia.com/twitter-ad-revenue-share-feature-set-for-rollout/" rel="noopener">revenue share feature</a> for brands and creators on the platform, but this news has since been eclipsed by the reading limit scandal. The reading limit has since been lifted, but has left users concerned about the direction of the platform.</p>
<p>This could, therefore, be the perfect time for Meta to launch Threads. By providing a viable Twitter alternative that instantly links with existing user Instagram accounts, Meta could attract much of Twitter’s user base.</p>
<p>Whether Threads will or not remains to be seen, but both Twitter and Meta will undoubtedly be watching the situation closely.</p>
<p><strong>For affiliate marketers</strong>, the emergence of any new social platform is important. By all accounts, Threads will be an off-shoot, text-based version of Instagram, and will likely launch with access to Instagram’s large data pools.</p>
<p>What this means is that Threads could get off to a flying start. It may benefit from the current popularity of Instagram and could be able to leverage existing communities on the platform to rapidly establish itself as a top social channel.</p>
<p>Affiliate marketers and program managers must be prepared for this. Your marketing strategies need to be dynamic and ready to change to fit a rapidly shifting digital landscape. Instagram is an incredibly important channel for affiliates and influencers, so Threads could prove to be similarly successful, and could become an additional promotion and partner traffic source as we move forward.</p>
