Snapchat Ads
We launch and manage Snapchat Ads for markets and audiences where the platform is relevant. Honestly and bluntly upfront: Snapchat is predominantly a youth audience and certain geos (strong in the US/Europe/parts of Asia, in Russia it is barely used), the short vertical video/AR format; it does not suit every business — we honestly assess applicability and availability. Like any advertising: it brings traffic but does NOT guarantee sales/ROI; works while there is a budget; the auction decides; native vertical creatives are needed. We honestly run campaigns where it makes sense, without promises of result.
Snapchat Ads — overview
Snapchat Ads is the setup and management of advertising on Snapchat (Snap Ads, Story/Collection Ads, AR formats, audience targeting) for markets and audiences where the platform is relevant. The work: assessing suitability and availability (geo/audience), analyzing the offer/landing, native vertical creatives, setting up campaigns, management and optimization. Honestly about 'youth and certain geos, not for everyone', this matters: Snapchat is predominantly a young audience (teens/youth) and certain regions (strong in the US, Europe, parts of the Middle East/Asia; in Russia barely used). For older/B2B/locally-Russian audiences it is irrelevant. We honestly assess whether it is your audience and whether the channel is available for your geo, and do not sell Snapchat 'to everyone'. Honestly about 'native vertical creatives are needed': the format is short vertical video/AR; without suitable creatives advertising will not work (separate work/costs). Honestly about 'advertising ≠ a guarantee of sales/ROI': campaigns bring traffic/reach, but sales depend on the product, offer, landing, audience. Advertising increases the chances, does not guarantee revenue. Honestly about 'works while there is a budget', 'the auction/moderation decides', 'traffic ≠ sales', 'optimization is a process'. Honestly about transparency: budget ≠ commission. Honestly about the effect: it sets up and manages Snapchat Ads with native creatives for a suitable youth audience/geo, bringing traffic/reach, but it is not for everyone, not a guarantee of sales/ROI; vertical creatives are needed; works while there is a budget; the auction decides. Honestly about access: the channel's relevance/availability, creatives, a budget, a landing, access are needed. An important boundary: this is Snapchat Ads; TikTok Ads — 440; AR filters — 365; landings — 342. The base price starts from 22,000 ₽ for management (the ad budget and creatives are separate).

FAQ
Will Snapchat suit my business?
Not every one, honestly: Snapchat is predominantly a youth audience and certain regions (strong in the US/Europe/parts of Asia; in Russia barely used). For older/B2B/locally-Russian audiences it is irrelevant. We will honestly assess whether it is your audience and whether the channel is available for your geo, and will not sell Snapchat 'to everyone' — if needed, we will propose an alternative (e.g., TikTok — 440).
Can it be done without native vertical creatives?
No, honestly: Snapchat's format is short vertical video/AR; without suitable native creatives advertising will not work. Appropriate creatives are needed (separate work/costs). We will honestly say if there are no creatives, so as not to drain the budget.
Do you guarantee sales/ROI?
No, honestly: campaigns bring traffic/reach, but sales and ROI depend on the product, offer, landing, audience and market. Advertising increases the chances but does not guarantee revenue; works while there is a budget, traffic ≠ sales. We honestly manage and optimize, without guarantees.
