Meta has started testing ads on its Threads platform, which is rapidly gaining popularity and already has over 300 million active monthly users. This move transforms Threads from a purely social platform into a powerful advertising space, allowing companies to easily expand their campaigns with minimal effort.

Key details:

  • Pilot testing with a limited number of advertisers.
  • Ads will appear between posts in users’ news feeds.
  • According to Meta, three out of four Threads users already follow at least one brand.

Why this matters?

Advertisers participating in the testing will be able to expand their campaigns to a rapidly growing platform without significant new content creation costs. Early participation will allow businesses to gain unique insights into their audience and strengthen their presence before Threads becomes saturated with competitors.

Brand Safety

Meta is actively implementing brand safety tools on the Threads platform, enabling advertisers to control the context in which their ads appear. One of the key elements is the AI filter, which analyzes the content alongside which an ad will be shown, avoiding associations with unpleasant or controversial topics. This ensures the ads align with corporate standards and brand values.

In addition, Threads users will have tools to more actively control ads: they will be able to skip ads that don’t suit them or report undesirable or irrelevant ads. This significantly improves user interaction with the platform and provides a more positive experience for those who don’t want to see intrusive or inappropriate ads.

These measures help brands protect their reputation, maintain a high level of trust in the platform, and ensure that their ads don’t end up in contexts that could damage the company’s image. This also allows advertisers to more precisely adjust the context of their campaigns, minimizing risks associated with negative associations and feedback.

Meta continues to refine these tools to offer brands even more opportunities to maintain the safety of their advertising campaigns on the new platform.

What’s next?

Meta plans to gradually expand the ad program on Threads, relying on user feedback and analyzing engagement metrics. This will not only optimize advertising campaigns but also ensure a comfortable experience for platform users so that ads do not appear excessive or intrusive. Meta intends to use the gathered data to improve targeting mechanisms and fine-tune ad materials. The company also plans to enhance the functionality of the ad interface, making the process easier for new advertisers and providing more tools for campaign analysis. With a flexible approach to expansion, Meta can gradually elevate Threads to a new level of effectiveness as an advertising platform, responding to the needs of both brands and users.

Conclusion

Threads by Meta is gaining momentum as an advertising platform, transforming from a simple Twitter competitor into a powerful business tool. By leveraging Meta’s existing advertising infrastructure, Threads allows advertisers to quickly integrate their campaigns without significant additional costs for creating new creatives. This opens new opportunities for brands to capture the market on a still-developing, not yet saturated platform. With the growth in active users, the platform has a great potential to attract new audiences and deepen engagement with existing customers.
