Twitter Announces New, Exclusive Video Content Partnerships at NewFronts 2022
Twitter has announced a new slate of premium video content deals at its NewFronts 2022 presentation, including partnerships with E! News, Conde Nast, the WNBA and more.
Twitter’s premium video content offers opportunities for advertisers to reach engaged audiences around these programs and events. And while Twitter has never quite been able to nail its efforts to integrate live video content and real-time tweet discussion, the new programming could provide new inspiration for your Twitter approach, based on related discussion and interaction around each.
First off, Twitter’s announced an extension of its deal with Conde Nast, which will provide opportunities for brands to sponsor Twitter streams of events like Vogue’s Red Carpet at the Met Gala, the Vanity Fair Oscar Party Red Carpet and the Pitchfork Music Festival, via Twitter’s Amplify ad offering.
Twitter’s also launching a new, made-for-Twitter, live-stream show with E! News called “While You Were Streaming”, which will cover all the biggest entertainment news in the TV universe.

Twitter’s the home of real-time discussion for many, and these deals will be a strong lure for advertisers looking to get in on the latest discussion trends as they happen.
Cultural leaders REVOLT and ESSENCE will also bring new live content to the platform via dedicated programming and coverage, while on the sports front, Twitter has also announced a new, multi-year partnership with the WNBA, which will see exclusive WNBA content streamed to the app.
As per Twitter:
“The 2022 season marks the sixth year of the partnership and will include a slate of 12 live games. For the first time ever, the WNBA will also regularly host Spaces throughout the season, as well as during WNBA tentpole events and the offseason. Amongst other content elements like polls, player interviews and moments, new content franchises will give fans closer access to the league and broader WNBA community.”
The inclusion of Spaces is interesting – it’s still not clear whether Spaces is truly catching on with Twitter users, nor whether it will become a more significant offering. Exclusives like this will definitely help, and if Twitter can arrange more celebrity broadcasts, that will help to boost awareness of Spaces more broadly, and give it the best chance for success.
Twitter’s also announced a new partnership with NBCUniversal, which will see the platform become the first social partner to test an integration with iSpot, NBCU’s first cross-platform video certified measurement partner.
“The partnership aims to offer advertisers who purchase Amplify sponsorships from NBCUniversal additional insights to better understand the incremental audience generated from their Twitter media campaigns.”
Finally, Twitter’s also launching a new program dedicated to providing real-time highlights of the biggest global events.
“The program will allow advertisers to promote and run pre-roll on live event pages featuring real-time highlights, helping Twitter’s passionate and engaged fans discover content in their timeline, as well as front and center in the Explore tab.”
Twitter’s hoping that these new partnerships and deals will help reassure advertisers that they will be able to reach dedicated engaged audiences in the app, even amid incoming changes under new owner Elon Musk.
Though Twitter itself doesn’t know if that’s true. Musk has publicly stated that he doesn’t think Twitter should run ads at all, so it seems like there will be a level of disruption for advertisers, at the least, over the coming months.
But no one knows for sure what’s coming next, and right now, Twitter is working under the assumption that it will be able to run its regular ad programs moving forward, with these new partnerships providing more avenues for brands to reach users in line with these events.

Elon Musk reinstates far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on X

Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X, on Sunday reinstated far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on the social media platform, a year after vowing never to let him return.
Jones, who claimed that a December 2012 school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut that killed 20 children and six educators was a hoax, was banned from the platform — then still known as Twitter — in 2018 for violating its “abusive behavior policy.”
He was also sued by families of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting and ordered by a judge in the case to pay up more than a billion dollars in damages last year.
Musk had himself promised never to let the Infowars host back on the social media platform, which he bought last year for $44 billion.
But following a poll Musk conducted on X asking whether Jones should be reinstated, to which some two million users responded, he flipped that decision.
“I vehemently disagree with what he said about Sandy Hook, but are we a platform that believes in freedom of speech or are we not?” the SpaceX founder said on X.
But Shannon Watts, founder of the group Moms Demand Action group which pushes for tighter gun laws, said that “defamation is not free speech.”
Musk’s decision comes the same week that the Sandy Hook families commemorate the 11th anniversary of the December 14 shooting, which Jones alleged was staged to allow the government to crack down on gun rights.
Jones’ followers harassed the bereaved families for years, accusing parents of murdered children of being “crisis actors” whose children had never existed.
It also came a week after Musk had responded to advertisers pulling out of X because of far-right posts and hate speech, including an apparent endorsement by Musk himself of an anti-Semitic tweet.
Asked whether he would respond to the advertising exodus, Musk said in an interview with journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin that the advertisers could “go f*** yourself.”
Jones, who has a million followers on X, returned to the site with his first post re-tweeting Andrew Tate, the controversial former kickboxer facing rape and human trafficking charges in Romania, in which he hailed Jones’ “triumphant return”
US media reported that as of Sunday, the account of Jones’ controversial show Infowars was still banned.

Instagram Launches New ‘Close Friends Only’ Podcast to Showcase Celebrity Users

Not sure if this will be a valuable addition, or another stream that’ll fade out pretty quick, as Meta stops paying attention to it.
Today, Instagram has launched a new podcast called “Close Friends Only”, which it says will present “the latest on culture – from memes and icks, to fashion and friendship – all from your favorite celebrities.”
And they’ve gone big out of the gate, with the first episode featuring Ice Spice in conversation with Doja Cat.
The conversation sees the two stars discuss their favorite memes, their favorite animals, celebrity crushes, experiences in flirting on IG, their juiciest DMs, and more.
Which will no doubt get a heap of attention, and will help make Instagram a bigger focus for youngsters seeking to replicate their idols. But in terms of practical advice or tips, yeah, there might not be a heap there.
But it could be worth tuning in anyway, in order to get the lowdown on the latest trends, from some of the people that are leading the way on cultural shifts.
But then again, as noted, it’ll be interesting to see how IG follows this first episode up, and whether they keep running regular episodes of the podcast with more celebrities.
Either way, it’s an interesting promotional vehicle for IG, especially given that it’s focusing on musicians, as TikTok becomes an even more critical platform for music promotion.
Maybe, then, this will be Instagram’s counter to that, but again, we’ll have to wait and see whether more episodes arrive.
