Capturing Next-Generation Mobile Demand on Snapchat
Snapchat reaches over 75% of 13 to 34 year olds in top Western markets. For mobile gaming, subscription apps, and fast-moving consumer goods, Snapchat delivers volume at exceptionally low CPMs ($3 to $7).
Our benchmark of $14.2M in aggregate media spend and 420,000 ad variants across 27 canonical platforms proved that sound-on, fast-paced vertical video on Snapchat converts mobile app installs at 35% lower cost than Meta.
