New Snap Originals Announced Plus New Creator Marketplace on the Way

More Snap Originals are heading your way! Today, we’re excited to announce a new slate of Shows debuting this year. We’re also announcing our Creator Marketplace, which will enable businesses to partner with our Creator community in a scaled and seamless way.

Today, we’re excited to announce a new slate of Snap Originals debuting this year! 

Made-for-mobile shows started on Snapchat. We’ve created over 128 Original series, and in the second half of last year over 85% of the Gen Z population watched a Snap Original.* 

Our new slate is a reflection of our community - what they care about, and the stories and personalities they love.

From shining a light on social issues and racial injustice, to honest conversations on mental health, to the impacts of climate change - our Shows speak to the issues most important to the Snapchat Generation. 

Through our Snap Originals, it’s been exciting to see A-List talent become passionate about telling stories on mobile and creating content designed for the Snapchat community. We’re also giving Snapchatters a look at their favorite creators like they’ve never seen before, and finding rising stars on their way to becoming household names. 

And then there are shows that are only possible on Snapchat, pushing the limits of innovation to deliver immersive Originals.

Check out more details below on new Snap Originals heading your way.

As we continue to grow our content offerings and opportunities for Creators on the platform, we’re also thrilled to announce our new Creator Marketplace, which will enable businesses to partner with our Creator community in a scaled and seamless way. The Creator Marketplace integrates Creators directly into our advertising ecosystem for businesses to connect with Lens Creators, Lens Developers, Lens Partners, and eventually Snap Stars to help elevate their marketing presence on Snapchat.

At launch, the Creator Marketplace will give businesses an opportunity to leverage the expertise of AR Creators in Snap’s Lens Network to build compelling AR experiences. Eventually, the Creator Marketplace will also offer the ability to reach our entire community of Creators and Snap Stars and partner with them on advertising campaigns and brand activations.

For businesses, this is a new opportunity to leverage the creativity and expertise of Snap Creators – who know the Snapchat Generation best! – to drive ROI for Snapchat marketing activity. For Creators, it opens the door to greater partnership opportunities with all kinds of brands so that Creators can build their own business on Snapchat.

The Creator Marketplace will open later this month for all businesses to partner with a select group of AR Creators through 2021. In early 2022 it will expand to an open marketplace that includes all Snap Creators.
