Twitter has announced a 6-second video bid unit to advertisers globally to aid instant brand impact.
Advertisers still have the security of transacting a longer view, while they provide the experience of a short-form mobile video to their audience and enhance the experience with 6-second video bidding.
With more than 2 billion videos being viewed on Twitter every day, the audience's decreasing attention span and short-form content gaining more prevalence, this ad-unit would be suitable for all genres of campaigns depending on the market segmentation.
This 6-second video bid unit is available worldwide on Promoted Video, In-stream Video Sponsorships, and In-stream Video Ads for assets 15 seconds or less in length.
