Brands launch sponsored geofilters on Snapchat that feel serendipitous
Implications - The progression away from organic social reach has given way to brands embedding themselves into the social experience of Snapchat with sponsored geofilters that enable user-generated ad content. Requiring consumers to be in the right place at the right time, such campaigns are often bound by a series of geographic coordinates that help to ensure the experience feels personalized and exclusive. The modern consumer's comfort with contributing their own content reflects the desire for more concise and meaningful brand interactions, which is motivated by the general aversion to mass marketing efforts.
