Threads has become the fastest-growing social media platform in history since it launched on July 5. Within the first hour alone, it received a whopping five million sign-ups — just three months after Meta confirmed it was working on an alternative to Twitter. The buzz around Threads is huge news for marketers as many have been taking a step back from Twitter following Elon Musk’s takeover last year, resulting in a 59% drop in ad spend in the US.

Ever wonder how Netflix knows what shows to recommend? Or how Google Docs can finish your sentences? The answer: AI, baby. Specifically, AI analytics. Both Netflix and Google have collected boatloads of data from the millions of people using their products. Netflix keeps tabs on what you watch and how you rate it, then based on all the information it’s accumulated, it’s able to make predictive recommendations (usually darned good ones) on what it thinks you might like.

Recent research shows that only 50% of B2B organizations state that they have good alignment between their marketing and sales teams. This lack of alignment tremendously impacts the ability to meet business goals, and is a limiting factor for building and maintaining customer relationships. While many B2B organizations continue to struggle with aligning their marketing and sales teams, they can take practical steps to unify both teams and simplify their overall approach.

So let’s explore today the case against Threads. What’s the problem with Threads? For a new social media platform to succeed — or for any business to succeed— it has to solve a customer problem.

Rather than serving as a basic advertisement that shows a customer a product, a landing page aims to engage and delight a customer by offering them something that relates to the product or the company's industry.
