How to Convince Management Your Brand Needs Snapchat (in 15 Slides)

Snapchat. “Everybody’s doing it,” and you think your brand needs to be there (eventually). But first, you have to sell it to your boss (or team). Luckily for you, we’ve done all the leg work. You’re welcome.

Why Snapchat for your brand?

Since Snapchat started gaining popularity, brands have been attempting to find their place in the app. Once the best place for sending selfies to friends, the platform has become a preferred destination for in-the-moment, playful self-expression and daily news. With its huge demographic pull with a younger generation (86% of users are between the ages of 13-37), there is a treasure trove of opportunities to nurture two-way conversations with a connected consumer base. Snapchat has become a powerful mobile-first medium for customers to access your brand. Organizations around the world are using their phones to create authentic, behind-the-scenes and lightweight content that lives well in users’ feeds. Not only is it easy to get started, it can be inexpensive to reach users. Incorporating a Geofilter for your brand can start for as little as $5.

While your brand might already be active on Instagram, the rate at which users interact with Instagram stories versus Snapchat stories is about half. (Fall 2016)
