Genius Sports, the sports and media technology firm, has teamed up with social media giant X (formerly Twitter) to launch a new engagement tool aimed at advertisers ahead of upcoming major sporting events including the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Trend Genius product will seek to leverage real-time conversations to accelerate ad attention in key moments during sporting events.
The new technology, built by Genius Sports and powered by X’s Ads and Trend APIs, allows advertisers to align with the real-time conversations happening on the X platform across categories.
When a specified topic organically reaches a set conversation velocity, pre-programmed creative will run to reach audiences when they’re most engaged.
When conversation naturally quiets, campaigns are automatically paused until the topic accelerates again.
Genius will use its technology to engineer real-time algorithms needed to start and stop ad spend across the X platform.
