Twitter’s advertising platform is now available in Australia for small and medium businesses.With a growing user base of at least 2.8 million Australian users, Twitter is up among the most popular social platforms in Australia. Twitter is made up of a largely male demographic, with most users living in urban areas and under 50, especially 18-29 years. Industries that are particularly suited to the platform include agriculture, hospitality, entertainment, technology and retail.One of the key advantages Twitter has over the Facebook advertising platform is the huge range of targeting options. You can go so far as to target people based on pages that they follow allowing you to create a highly niche audience. People can also be targeted on their standard demographic information including their interests, age, gender and location.[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="657"]

A video view on Twitter is counted as 3 seconds, with the player shown in at least 50% of the screen. Video adverts are a great way for advertisers to break through the clutter and maximise engagement.
