Social ads are great. They benefit from detailed targeting and allow brands to reach out to the right people, at the right time and on the right platform, for a fraction of the cost of traditional advertising. But they have one major limitation: you can only reach people who have an account on the specific platform.

Research has shown that many people end up on Twitter without having an account or being logged in at that moment. That is because they follow link – or embedded tweets – found on news sites or blogs, or after a simple Google search.
