Snapchat App Install Ads

The start of February has seen Snapchat run its first app install ad, releasing a short clip promoting SNG’s mobile game Cookie Jam. With technology mirroring what we’ve seen on Facebook and Twitter, the app can be installed directly on Snapchat.

We’re looking forward to seeing how advertising on the platform is going to be rolled out further.
