WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
Snapchat is arguably the buzziest platform of the last couple of years, with 100 million of us taking to sharing instantaneous insights into our daily lives in keeping with the ephemeral nature of the app.
Once for teens, it’s now growing fastest with over 25s and older millennials, and brands are taking note. Opportunities for sponsorship have rapidly scaled, with big budgets being spent to capture the demographics in question, the buzz such moves currently bring as well as the engagement being seen. Users actively engage with Snapchat’s augmented reality lenses for a reported 20 seconds on average.
But the result is a story that isn’t really just about Snapchat anymore, rather a broader movement for the visual language of the internet, and particularly for the fashion industry. It’s raw, candid and in the moment, compared to highly polished, edited and laboured over. We’ve seen this reflected through the UX of the platform being literally copied by the likes of Instagram with its new Stories release, but the greater idea of it is also impacting things like the live videos pushing out over Facebook and the aesthetic of subsequent once ‘high-production’ content appearing elsewhere.
Over the course of four hours, this masterclass will explore everything you need to know about this platform – deconstructing why it requires a differentiated strategy, how to get the most from it and the direct ROI it could drive.
