Where are Snapchat Ads?
Snapchat Ads can appear between friends’ stories, providing highly visible and impactful ads that grab users’ attention. Ads appear to be quite organic in this manner and avoid negative feedback from some users.
Advertisers can place ads in between content on the Discover page, where users can find articles, videos and other content from publishers and creators, allowing more sophisticated targeting to reach the most relevant audiences.
Snap Map is a feature that lets users see what their friends are up to, and ads can also appear on this page. It displays a map view of the world and shows the location of friends who have chosen to share their location.
Snapchat also offers Lenses, which are interactive filters that users can apply to their photos and videos. Some of these lenses can be sponsored by advertisers and led users to the brand website or their social media.
Filter Ads on Snapchat are full-screen ads that appear between users’ snaps. They allow advertisers to showcase their products or services in a creative and engaging way by using filters, lenses, and other interactive elements.
Snapchat also offers commercials, which are 6-second video ads that play automatically in between stories. Advertisers can create a range of ads, including video ads, dynamic ads, sponsored lenses, filters and more.
