What is Telegram Ads? 📢

Telegram Ads is the official tool for setting up ads within the Telegram messenger. Ads appear under the latest messages in Telegram channels, featuring short texts without images, making them less intrusive. This format blends more seamlessly with the channel's content compared to separate ad posts.

To enhance user engagement, Telegram adds features like avatars, pictures, or emojis to ads. These elements increase the click-through rate (CTR), encouraging users to interact with the ad. 👀✨

Who Uses Telegram in 2024? 🗓️

Telegram’s user base in 2024 largely consists of educated IT and marketing professionals. Many work full-time, while the self-employed make up 3% more than in 2021.

According to TGStat, Telegram is a promising platform for business and advertising. Almost half of business-related channels run ads once a week or once a month, and agencies do so even more frequently. ⏱️

Over the past four years, Telegram usage and screen time have risen. The average user now spends 40 minutes daily on the app, compared to just 22 minutes before. 📱⏳

User interests remain consistent, with a significant number focusing on news, political analysis, and influencer blogs. Interest in microblogs has surged, from 25% in 2019 to 45% now. 📰
