At Twitter, our advertising business went from zero to two billion in revenue faster than any other company. It’s critically important to show that value in a way advertisers understand, trust and can dig into for more detail.

The Awareness optimization team supports a portfolio of ad products that serve the world's largest & smallest advertisers alike. We help advertisers connect with potential customers at scale and with impact during the most important time of an advertising campaign, the first interaction with the customer. Our products bring the most people possible closer to becoming new or repeat customers. We aim to build high quality, full-stack products that make it easy for advertisers to effectively reach their goals.

Who We Are:

The Awareness Outcomes team is responsible for a portfolio of ads products including Video Ads, Takeover, and Reach, which together deliver more than half of Twitter’s $3B+ in revenue flow. The team owns these products end-to-end, from the advertiser-facing UI, through the backend serving and tracking systems, through to the ad units in the Twitter app and on twitter.com. Our products are used by advertisers of all sizes – from the world’s largest brands and agencies to small businesses and personal brands.

In short, Twitter is the leading ad platform for driving awareness around major launch events. Customers like Apple announce their new products exclusively on Twitter, live streaming their events, and using the capabilities of our ad products to boost engagement and recall.
