Twitter Launches ‘Native Ads’ On MoPub Platform
Twitter acquired ad platform MoPub way back in September of last year and, after a few months of almost no fanfare, has started to announce some new features which the company hopes will become a significant source of annual revenue.
Last week Twitter launched a mobile app promotion suite, and today MoPub have announced “native ads“, a new service that sells ads that blend directly into content on mobile devices.

The MoPub exchange reaches over one billion iOS and Android users, serving more than 130 billion ad requests each month, and MoPub believes the reach for its native advertising solution is “significantly larger”.
