Sponsored Filters: This is an amazing way for business to get users interact with them. These filters can be applied to still images or videos. The lens detects the user’s face and they can interact with the filter when they open mouth, raise eyebrows or just shake their head. Snapchat’s creative partners make the filters and usually it takes time to implement due to customization. Sponsored lens is less flexible for advertiser but you can change the lens during the campaign lifespan because there are multiple lens and filters for still photos and videos. The filters can be used by front and back camera and it can also be changed if there is variety provided by the advertiser.
Sponsored lens is an effective way to engage with your potential customer and increase brand awareness.
