Six months into Elon Musk's Twitter takeover — here's what we know so far about his plan

While Musk has ambitions to turn Twitter into a super app, advertisers still don't feel any more valuable to the platform.

Additional coverage:

  • Most publishers aren't seeing ad dollars roll in for at least 90 days after a campaign ends — and that's if they're lucky. More in this Digiday+ Media Briefing.
  • Twitter has seen tremendous, and for some users, not so favorable changes as a result of Elon Musk's takeover, including an overhaul of its verification process. For content creators of color, the verification has been a hard sell.
  • For years, Amazon had a program called Onsite Associates that worked with publishers to match top-rated products with editorialized blurbs. But at the beginning of the month, Amazon took that section of the search results and replaced it with more ad units.
  • In part two of Digiday+ Research's report on the state of ad-supported streaming services, we analyze how advertisers' preferences match up with the platforms' offerings, examine the challenges advertisers face on ad-supported streaming services and provide a guide to which platforms are right for key advertiser needs.
  • As cannabis and marijuana usage goes more mainstream, Jack in the Box is ramping up its 4/20-friendly marketing stunts.
