Win Every Moment

This Summer

Summer is not just a season, it’s a moment. And on Snapchat, every moment matters. Whether it's capturing golden hour, hanging out with friends, or gearing up for back-to-school, Snapchatters are connecting and sharing it all in real time on multiple tabs on the app.

With this Snap Summer Guide 2025, we’re presenting you the tools to win every moment in the coming months through creative impact, behavior driven insights, and unbeatable media efficiency. Ready to help your brand glow up? Let’s dive in.

The Summer Opportunity on Snapchat Is Blazing Hot

This is the golden window for your brand to connect with intention and impact while attention is high and competition is low. With Snapchatters staying active across the app, your brand can slide into the conversation in more ways than ever before.


Here are 4 Ways to Win Every Moment


1. Make the Most of Media Efficiency


When it comes to hot deals, Snapchat’s summer season (April to August) takes the crown. It's the lowest CPM period of the year, with 19% lower than the annual average.¹ That means higher reach and more results for lower cost.

2. Mirror How Snapchatters Snap


Snapchatters are everywhere in the app and your brand should be too. To win every moment, you need to be present where and when it matters:

  • In both KSA and the UAE, nearly all Snapchatters 98%⁴ and 99%⁴ respectively—explore multiple tabs during a single session.

  • Snapchatters also use the Chat regularly: 85%⁴ in KSA and 74%⁴ in the UAE.

  • Drop into the convo with Sponsored Snaps.

    • Sponsored Snaps as a placement drove +24% increase in purchases compared to the same ads when not delivering to Chat Feed⁵

    • Snapchatters who open Sponsored Snaps have strong intention to purchase:

      • 16% higher purchases per click (compared to ads in other inventories)⁵

      • 20% higher purchases per full-screen ad views (compared to ads in other inventories)⁵

      • 8-10x longer dwell time on advertiser website (compared to ads in other inventories)⁵
