300M+

views of AR Lenses

The Story
Universal Pictures has long been an advocate for AR due to the impact it brings to their movie launch strategy. Over the years, Universal Pictures has developed numerous AR experiences, letting Snapchatters transform themselves into their favorite characters. Because of this success, they were in search of a permanent home to house these AR experiences.
The Solution
Universal Pictures partnered with Snapchat to become one of the first brands to launch their Business Profile. With this product, Universal Pictures now has an easily discoverable home on Snapchat where Snapchatters can view, engage, and share their Lenses whenever they want.

“The addition of Business Profiles was such a smart move for Snapchat. Our fans have always loved the AR experiences we’ve created for them. With Business Profiles, we now have a permanent home for Universal Pictures, making it easy for our fans to engage with all tons of our AR Lenses whenever they want.”
