5 Questions With Twitter's Global Online Sales Leader

Richard Alfonsi talks conversions and app-install ads

Twitter’s Richard Alfonsi, head of global online sales, said that the next mobile ad products on the platform will be ones that drive consumers to act right within their tweets—email signups and app downloads. So, Twitter, already known as a place for brand messaging, is focused on this direct response advertising, too. Alfonsi sat down with Adweek to share what Twitter is working to deliver marketing-wise.
