What people watch, buy and consume is a huge part of the conversation on Twitter, presenting an opportunity for brands to connect with people who are uniquely eager and engaged.

That's it.
Can conversation lead to results? Let’s talk about it.
Our research has shown that conversation does drive business impact—based on a meta analysis across 25 brands, our findings demonstrated that there is a statistical link between conversation volume and sales. At the highest end of this link, one brand in our study found that a 10% increase in brand conversation could lead up to a 3% increase in sales.
If you’re looking to boost conversation about your brand on Twitter, paid media should be in the mix. On average, we’ve observed paid ads can yield a 105% incremental lift in brand conversation in the U.S.
When compared with other digital advertising platforms, research shows that Twitter is three times more efficient at driving brand conversation, having the highest impact on earned conversation per share of media spend.
Through paid ads, brands have the opportunity to amplify conversation about themselves. Word-of-mouth has always been important, but now marketers have the opportunity to understand how ads influence conversation in a concrete way that leads to business impact.
