As far as Flipboard is concerned, advertisers will not have to produce separate creatives, as the platform already integrates organic Twitter into the app, ensuring that the look and feel will remain the same.
Twitter has high hopes for this collaboration, as it will give advertisers the capacity to create large-scale, rich and well-targeted advertising campaigns across a variety of platforms. What’s more interesting is that , while Yahoo! already owns a social network (see Tumblr), it has not proceeded to syndicating its ads yet, instead Twitter has caught up with the Japanese version and established cross-platform functionality.
