PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Social media platforms have evolved into powerful ecosystems where users, businesses, and influencers converge, making it an unparalleled space for marketing, advertising, and content creation. As of 2024, we’ve witnessed seismic shifts in the way social media generates revenue, primarily through advertising, influencer partnerships, and direct sales. According to Medium.com, said: “Platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels have proven that short-form video content is here to stay. The question now is how to monetize this type of content effectively. Advertisers and social media companies have already begun testing various formats, including: Sponsored short videos: Brands collaborating with influencers to create quick, engaging sponsored content; Programmatic ads: Inserting programmatic ads between short-form videos, similar to how traditional TV commercials work; and Revenue-sharing models: Offering creators a cut of the ad revenue generated by their short-form content. By (the end of) 2025, these models are likely to become more sophisticated, with AI helping brands deliver highly targeted ads within short-form videos. Moreover, we may see a broader adoption of “native shopping” within these videos, allowing users to shop directly from the content they’re viewing.” Active companies in the markets this week include: Thumzup Media Corporation (NASDAQTZUP), Meta Platforms, Inc. NASDAQ: METANASDAQMETA)(NYSE: RDDTNYSERDDT, IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: IZEANASDAQ), The Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTDTTD).
