This is a custom feature that takes the reader through text, visuals and photos. The content is relevant for the brand, well written and a good fit with the publisher, it also gives something back to the audience in the form of information they may not have know about this founding father.

Kardashian and Jenner Sisters Introduce Apps and Websites With Paywalls — Native Ads to Come

Four of the Kardashian-Jenner family are introducing individual apps and websites that include free and paid access to content from each of their lives. The new properties, via tech company Whalerock, include personal diaries, live streaming video, beauty tutorials, workout tips, opportunities to ask questions, special access to events and giveaways and other premium content.

While ads don’t appear on the platforms at the start, both the sites and the apps are open to advertisers in the future, according to a spokeswoman for Whalerock. Instead of traditional display ads, they will likely integrate native advertising, she said.

The social network sees more than 4 billion video views a day — a number first reported in April and almost certainly much higher now. Now the same trend is hitting Twitter, albeit at a smaller scale. Recent data from Socialbakers shows that brands will soon be sharing more native video on Twitter than YouTube content. The data from the 500 largest brands on Twitter from January to July, shows a strong trend.
