Snapchat Upgrades: The Implications for users and advertisers.

Snapchat Upgrades: The Implications for users and advertisers. A few weeks ago, the popular social platform Snapchat released two new features, Snap Maps and Snap Links. Snap Maps is a new facet of Snapchat in which users can display their location to those following them on the application. Snap Links offer users, influencers and brands the opportunity to engage in a new and interactive way through the application. This addition to Snapchat mimics updates from competitor platform Instagram. During this episode of The EDGE Podcast we will dive in and explore what the implications of these new features are, consumer perceptions of these updates and how advertisers can best utilize them to further their brands.
