Brands and publishers are finally starting to use Snapchat effectively, which begs the question: How?

  • You can’t engage on Snapchat the same way you would on Twitter or Instagram.
  • Sound like people talk on Snapchat.
  • Keep it short and keep it visual.
  • When you plan to take users’ snaps and turn them into curated content, let them know exactly what you plan to do.
  • Snap back.
