News marketers should know about:
- Changes to the digital landscape: The EUâs Digital Services Act âcould reshape the internetâ by limiting some types of ad targeting and forcing tech companies to combat misinformation. Ads could be coming to Netflix. CNN+ has come and gone.
- Social: Twitter got bought. Weâre as curious as everyone else what that will mean for it. In less paradigm-shifting news, theyâre experimenting with status updates and a button to let users turn captions on or offâand theyâre banning climate change denial in their ads. TikTokâs In-Feed Ads now have interactive add-ons like stickers and popups. Hashtags donât really help engagement on Instagram, but IG is working on making them more valuable. Three other notable changes at IG: Theyâre tweaking their algo to highlight original content more; everyone in the US now has the ability to tag products in their feeds; and Reels can now be used for fundraising. Snapchat is growing more rapidly than Facebook and Twitter. Over 250 million of its users (out of 332 million DAUs) engage with its AR features daily.
- Search: Bing expanded its Ethical Shopping hub to the US and Canada. Last week, Google notified some site owners that âintrusive interstitialsâ (popups or sticky banners that get in the way of content) could lower their rankings. The AdWords API will see its last days this week. And amid the switch to Google Analytics 4, hereâs how to import your Universal Analytics goals.
Something fun
