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.
Twitter is not the first social network to have this idea. Just a few weeks ago, Tumblr announced the launch of Creatrs, a platform where brands can look for artists to help them design and execute their creative campaigns, straight from a talent pool curated by Tumblr staff.
