- New product tunes into trending topics to accelerate ad spend
at peak conversation velocity, and pause when conversation
slows
- Record engagement across X from brands using the product
Ahead of a summer of sport, including the Olympic &
Paralympic Games, X and Genius Sports Limited (“Genius Sports”)
(NYSE:GENI) have announced the launch of the Trend Genius
product, leveraging real-time conversations to accelerate ad
attention in moments that matter.
The new technology, built by Genius Sports and powered by X’s
Ads and Trend APIs, allows advertisers to align with the real-time
conversations happening on the X platform across categories. When a
specified topic organically reaches a set conversation velocity,
pre-programmed creative will run to reach audiences when they’re
most engaged.
When conversation naturally quiets, campaigns are automatically
paused until the topic accelerates again. As the exclusive data
distributor for the NFL, NCAA, and the Premier League, Genius
Sports relied on its heritage of building data-driven products to
engineer real-time algorithms needed to start and stop ad spend
across the X platform.
“With our long history of powering sports data, we understand
that seconds matter,” said Josh Linforth, CRO at Genius Sports. “We
wanted to help brands make the most of key moments, by ramping up
campaigns when conversation across X was most positive and
influential. We’re thrilled to drive this product forward during
such an exciting time in the sports calendar.”
“We’ve seen record engagement rates with this product,
showcasing how X users continue to create culture in real-time,”
said Monique Pintarelli, Head of Sales, Americas at X. “As live
events unfold on X, the Trend Genius product helps brands capture
the unpredictable and dynamic trends that shape our world in
real-time. We’re excited to debut this product in partnership with
Genius Sports, and help brands reach our unparalleled and
passionate audience.”
