💡 Tips for Kiwi Advertisers Buying Canadian Twitter Media
Currency and Payment
Most NZ advertisers pay in NZD but Twitter bills in CAD or USD depending on your account setup. Use local payment gateways like Visa or Mastercard linked to NZ banks for hassle-free transactions. Be mindful of exchange rate swings — as of April 2025, 1 CAD roughly equals 1.15 NZD.
Legal and Compliance
Canada’s advertising laws are pretty strict, especially around privacy and data protection. The Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) requires explicit consent for marketing communications. Make sure your Twitter campaigns adhere to these rules, or you risk fines.
New Zealand’s own privacy act and advertising standards also apply if you’re targeting local audiences or running cross-border campaigns.
Targeting and Localisation
Canadian audiences value culturally relevant content. For example, bilingual (English/French) campaigns work better in Quebec, while tech ads resonate well in Ontario’s urban hubs.
If you’re a Kiwi brand like Allbirds or a local influencer wanting to scale in Canada, consider partnering with Canadian micro-influencers for authentic reach. Platforms like BaoLiba can help you find these talent pools easily.
