Dive Insight:
Twitter aims to make marketers' live easier by enabling greater flexibility and customization in campaign reporting. As data management becomes increasingly important for marketers, platforms like Twitter can help enable marketers through bolstering their measurement capabilities.
“This new tool provides a central workspace to plan, manage, and report on campaigns," Christine Lee, senior product manager for revenue at Twitter, wrote in a blog post. "Now you can easily view and optimize performance at multiple levels – campaigns, ad groups, or promoted Tweets and other ads.”
The new features are one positive step from the micro-blogging social media company, which has seen poor results this year as it attempts a turnaround. While Twitter is positioning itself for success with a series of live streaming video deals, its latest earnings report missed revenue targets and caused its stock price to fall by double digits. Only time will tell if Twitter can reach new users and grow its ad revenue, the company's two greatest challenges.
