In its latest move, Snapchat introduces its catchy slogan, “Less social media, More Snapchat,” aiming to set itself apart from other platforms and address the pitfalls of traditional social networking.
The campaign spotlights how conventional social media platforms often foster a culture of seeking validation through likes and curated posts, leading to negativity and division in online communities.
Snapchat positions itself as a unique player in the social media landscape, emphasizing genuine connections and enjoyable interactions over the pursuit of validation and negative feedback.
The ad campaign made its debut during the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, targeting major cities across the United States with out-of-home advertising.
Snapchat’s vibrant and engaging “Less Social Media. More Snapchat.” artwork is also making waves on taxi cabs in the United Kingdom.
According to reports, Arts Academy brought the campaign to life, with renowned figure Tommy Harden directing and editing the project.
Snap Inc.’s APAC President, Ajit Mohan, highlights Snapchat’s core values, emphasizing its focus on fun, joy, and privacy in connecting with loved ones.
