Are Snapchat Ads A Thing in 2026? Your Snapchat Ads Fit Score SNAPCHAT SNAPCHAT SNAPCHAT SNAPCHAT SNAPCHAT

Transcript

Are Snapchat Ads even worth considering in 2026? Let's talk about it. I actually made this decision tree for us to go through because I know what you are thinking. But Dara, no one uses Snapchat. False. Snapchat has this perception of being a platform that is way past its prime. But here's the thing, smart growth marketers know that this is an opportunity and a moat for the right type of business. So let's work through if this is right for you. Number one, consider your demographics. Snapchat reaches 75% of everyone in the US. 80% of Snapchat's audience is above 18. Half of Snapchatters are 25 and older and one third of Snapchatters are 35 and up and it's actually their fastest growing segment and the average user is opening up the platform 30 times per day. And number two, their dynamic product ads are elite. So if you have multiple SKUs and are looking for net new reach, this is a no brainer. And number three, this is the kicker for me. Snapchatters as a whole have a 1.7x higher purchase intention rate than Meta or YouTube and they are 5x more likely to take action after seeing an ad on the platform versus the other guys. Y'all, I kind of think Snapchat ads are back, but let me know in the comments what you think.
