Snapchat has 100 million daily users , 9,000 snaps are shared per second , 10 billion videos are viewed per day and at 500 million Snapchat stories per day, it would take more than 158 years to watch an entire day of Snapchat stories. It’s no wonder that advertisers want a bite of it. CEO Evan Spiegel describes Snapchat’s messaging as “conversational”, rather than “transactional”, which gives the impression you’re just talking to a friend.

Three months on and Facebook’s Reactions haven’t quite replaced the trusted “Like” button, which still reigns supreme. Out of the new options, “Love” is the most popular, with a whopping 51% share. However, it can be argued that “Love” is ultimately “Like +” in disguise, so perhaps it just goes to show how strong the “Like” really is. Quintly recently analysed 130,000 Facebook posts and found that 76% of interactions were still “Likes”.

The majority of marketer complaints regarding Facebook ad performance can be traced back to a lack of creativity. Far too often, campaigns are created as if they apply to all within the target audience when in reality there are layers of shades of gray. Not everyone in your audience knows you. Not everyone who knows you fits your target profile. Not everyone who knows you is ready to buy.

My wardrobe last Wednesday included Nike yoga pants, tennis shoes and a coral screen print Delta Gamma Shirt, which, if you knew my time at Mississippi State, had to be two years old. Plus it was topped off with very little makeup and a messy ponytail.
