FROM SNAPCHAT

Snapchat’s creator community is thriving, with content creators seeing success on our platform and growing a highly engaged audience by giving Snapchatters an authentic look at their lives. Today we’re introducing Creator Collab Campaigns, our suite of products to help make it easier for advertisers to partner with the influential creator community on Snapchat.

Creator Discovery API

With content creators in over 200 countries and territories, we have a diverse roster of creators for brands to collaborate with. Our Creator Discovery API enables any third party partner to plug into our entire creator roster for stats like name, username, bio, follower count, and age breakdown to give a better understanding of available creators across each platform.

Creators will have the opportunity to opt-in to share additional metrics, giving partners access to added insights around Public Stories, Saved Stories, Spotlights, and Audience Insights. We’re excited to work with a variety of industry-leading API partners including Captiv8, CreatorIQ, Influential, Pearpop, Tagger by Sprout Social, and Whalar who will integrate creator data into their platforms and services.

Creator Midroll Placement for Brands

Advertisers can now place branded content within creator-driven Stories, offering a contextually relevant placement for creator collaborations. Content viewership and total time spent watching content on Snapchat is growing year-over-year, and we’re excited to help brands get closer to our most engaged Snapchatters through this new surface.

Paid Partnership Tag

All public creators can now easily tag their branded content as a paid promotion with our Paid Partnership tag, a self-serve, in-app feature. In the coming weeks, we’ll be rolling out the ability for verified content creators to search for and tag an Official Business when posting their own Spotlight, Snap Map, and Public Story Snaps, right within our app. Brands can then approve the partnership right within Ads Manager, allowing them to see analytics and use the media as an ad.

We’re currently working on early iterations of a feature set that will allow any Snapchatter, content creator, as well as businesses to promote their own content, in addition to new tools to allow brands to discover and promote relevant organic creator content across the platform. Until then, brands can click here to get started with the tools available today.

We’ll continue to expand on our toolkit to help creators and brands successfully partner together on Snapchat, and look forward to delivering more collaborations that Snapchatters will find fun, useful, and engaging.
