Follow Our Best Practices for Simple Ad Creation

Single Image or Video Ads are full screen ad formats that are easy to create and give you the creative freedom to communicate your unique message.

#1  Keep Your Ad Short

Get your message across in the first three seconds. Keep your logo visible.

#2  Make It Authentic

Create your ad on your mobile device so it resembles a Snap.

#3  Encourage an Action

Prompt your audience to take a specific action like Swipe Up or Buy.

#4  Consider Audio

Try using audio. Two-thirds of Snaps are played with the sound on.³

#5  Focus On One Message

Use one clear hero message and call to action for your product, brand, or service.
