Quick Promote
Quick Promote lets you quickly and easily promote your best performing Tweets to a larger audience in a few simple clicks from your Twitter profile on web, Android, or iOS. It's an ideal solution for self-serve advertisers that want to promote their Tweets without having to use the Twitter Ads campaign workflow.
Quick Promote is different than our objective-based campaigns and Twitter Promote Mode. Quick Promote is best for advertisers looking to quickly promote a specific Tweet to extend its total reach.
Setting up Quick Promote
You must have a Twitter Ads account to be able to access and use Quick Promote. Learn how to create a Twitter Ads account.
