A year and a half after its debut, Meta\u2019s text-based social platform Threads is testing its first-ever ads with \u201ca handful\u201d of brands in the U.S. and Japan, according to Instagram head Adam Mosseri. Ads will appear as image posts sprinkled throughout the home feed and will only appear for \u201ca small percentage of people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite Meta\u2019s recent decision to loosen content moderation policies<\/a> and ditch third-party fact-checking\u2014which may inspire new caution from advertisers\u2014media buyers are eager to try out the new offering.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond increased reach, advertisers have been eager for Threads to be monetized since its explosive early adoption,\u201d said Traci Asbury, social investment lead at Goodway Group, an independent New York-based media agency. \u201cThis is a chance for brands to establish benchmarks on an X alternative and shape the platform\u2019s ad landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say the investment won\u2019t be without risks. Goodway Group, for its part, is advising clients to adopt new safety measures when transacting on Meta\u2014such as implementing Integral Ad Science\u2019s content filters, which can be used to automatically prevent ads from appearing alongside unsuitable content.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, advertisers are unlikely to abandon Meta<\/a>, as the company\u2019s platforms offer sophisticated targeting and measurement, in addition to unparalleled social reach.<\/p>\n

There may also be a cost incentive at play. Adding Threads to Meta\u2019s ad inventory could help stabilize or lower the CPMs on the company\u2019s platforms, especially as more advertisers shift dollars away from controversy-riddled X and TikTok, (though sources note that reduced costs could be temporary and will ramp up with the maturation of Threads\u2019 ad product).<\/p>\n

Initial results from tests of Threads ads will, of course, also weigh into the equation for buyers.
Much will hinge on the \u201ccapacity to exhibit measurable ROI and user engagement,\u201d according to Christena Garduno, CEO of performance marketing agency Media Culture. \u201cIf Meta can demonstrate that Threads\u2019 user base is highly active and receptive to advertisements, and if Meta can provide robust targeting capabilities, media purchasers are likely to allocate budgets,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Both Goodway Group and Media Culture plan to evaluate potential Threads ads investments for clients once they gain access to the product.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an opportune moment for Threads, which is enjoying a bump as users continue to evacuate embattled X, n\u00e9e Twitter. X\u2019s U.S. monthly active users are expected to dip to 51.8 million this year, down 3.7% from last year, per Emarketer data. Meanwhile, Instagram-integrated Threads is on track to grow to 51.2 million U.S. MAU in 2025, putting it on par with X.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The highs and lows of integrating Thread buys into Ads Manager<\/h4>\n

During the initial test, the option to transact on Threads is integrated into Meta Ads Manager, according to the announcement, so media buyers can simply check a box to include Threads ads. The integration comes with both pros and cons: on one hand, this integration provides a painless means of trying out the offering. On the other, some anticipate that the option to opt out of Threads ads in the future will be difficult.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach time Meta releases a new targeting capability, product, or placement, they find a new way to obscure the buyer\u2019s ability to find the control switch for that component within the campaign set-up module,\u201d said Allie Lichtenberg, founder and CEO at AD LUCEM, an independent media buying consultancy. \u201cMeta doesn\u2019t want buyers to be able to fine-tune their own setups and autonomously decide how to deliver their own campaigns.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt some point, Meta will likely just add Threads as an inventory source into campaigns without media buyers ever knowing,\u201d she predicts.<\/p>\n

AD LUCEM is not part of Meta\u2019s initial tests for the tool, but Lichtenberg said that the consultancy will be open to running tests for clients that express interest down the line.<\/p>\n

Threads users, meanwhile, aren\u2019t embracing the planned changes to the app\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n

In response to Mosseri\u2019s post announcing the rollout of ads, one user wrote: \u201cInstagram is now drowning in ads so you rarely see content from the people you follow. If you do that to this platform, I\u2019m gone.\u201d Another wrote: \u201cHow many social networks do we need to abandon and how many more subscriptions should we have to pay until y\u2019all understand we don\u2019t like ads????\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
