With this acquisition, Twitter creators will have the opportunity to work under the social network’s umbrella, which will offer them greater visibility. This is a win-win move for everyone involved, as creators will have the opportunity to reach larger audiences, brands will have direct access to a talent pool and, ultimately, Twitter will manage to form synergies with big brands and, of course, create another revenue stream.
