Snapchat to Start Showing Ads From Verizon, Warner in ‘Stories’

Evan Spiegel Snapchat

For the first time Snapchat has released an advertising API for its platform, called Snapchat Partners. The new Snap Ad format allows advertisers via third party collaborators, to show a 10-second video while users are watching photos and video posted by their friends.

The ads will appear between Stories from different users, rather than interrupting a friend’s daily update. Snapchat said people interact with the ads five times more often than comparable digital ads, citing internal data from the company’s tests.

According to Ad Week, instead of trying to pen a deal with Snapchat directly, advertisers will be able to go through collaborators and their software to buy and manage huge video advertising campaigns.
