Tips for Launching Winning Snapchat Ads-

“To be successful on Snapchat, you also have to go out of your way to focus on delighting the people who are going to see your ad. People who use Snapchat open the app multiple times per day because they want to be entertained.

SLICE SPECIAL OF THE DAY

“Yet the changes have been decried by some of the very users they were meant to aid, who view the metrics as an essential part of their experience. That’s left platforms in the awkward position of detoxing users from an addiction they initially introduced to users.” – Paris Martineau, writing for Wired
