About
What is spotlight takeover?
Spotlight Takeovers put your immersive video creative where the conversations starts — the Explore tab. The Explore tab is home to everything that’s trending on >x< (and in the world), all in one place. Don’t just be a part of what’s happening, be what’s happening with Spotlight Takeovers.
This product gives you a high-impact 24-hour takeover of the Explore Tab and the "What's happening" module on >x<.com — where people go to view trends and top conversations in real time. Spotlight Takeovers are complemented by media-forward companion posts that appear in the Home Timeline, which together help maximize awareness and conversation around a certain topic, launch, or event.
