The Future of Marketing on Snapchat Is Video [Infographic]. In a social media landscape dominated by Facebook and flanked by Twitter, Snapchat emerged on the scene in 2011 with critics insisting it would be exclusively used by pervs and creeps. The temporary message model was unheard of at the time and even the most innovative entrepreneurs couldn’t have foreseen the marketing impact this app would eventually have on the world. Now, brands across the world are creating stories, memories, and snaps to lure in potential customers on this little yellow app. “Snapchat is unique because it allows businesses to connect with people in the moment and offer a different brand experience,” said Thomas Cilius, founder and CEO, Snaplytics. “It is essential for marketers to be creative and build followers quickly since our research shows that recommendations and calls-to-action made through Snapchat are much stronger than what is accomplished with Facebook or Instagram,” said Cilius. Perhaps the most interesting statistic found in the report, however, is that 61 percent of the content posted by brands on Snapchat are videos, a 5 percent increase from the first quarter of 2016. While this trend is in line with marketing trends around the world, the speed at which brands are adopting video as their primary means of reaching out to customers is a significant indicator of the future of marketing on the popular app and beyond.
