<p>After testing the ability for brands to communicate directly with users, (https://9to5mac.com/2016/11/08/facebook-messenger-advertisements/#disqus_thread) Facebook today announced its next step in monetizing its Messenger platform. In a post on the Messenger blog (https://messengerblog.com/general-messenger/testing-ads-in-messenger/), Facebook product manager Eddie Zhang announced that the company is launching a “very small test” of ads in Messenger, beginning in Australia and Thailand.</p>

<p>This week we are launching a very small test in Australia and Thailand that gives businesses the opportunity to place ads on the Messenger home screen. This means that a business is able to place an ad in an area of Messenger below your recent conversations.</p>
