Snapchat’s Guide to Grabbing (and Keeping) Audience Attention

Snapchat has released a new report exploring how different content types capture audience attention and how brands can optimize their strategies for better results. This report offers valuable insights for marketers looking to improve their campaign performance on the platform.

To conduct the study, Snapchat partnered with WPP and Lumen Research, surveying 3,000 app users in India. The goal was to understand what truly grabs users’ attention in the digital space.

The Study: A Deeper Look

Snapchat explained the study’s methodology:

“Lumen’s proprietary technology measured visual attention across major digital platforms. In a controlled ‘sandbox,’ WPP brands across categories – FMCG, Auto, Quick Service Restaurant and Fashion – ran ads from a single campaign, delivering striking insights.”

Lumen’s technology tracked participants’ visual focus on both general content and advertisements. Following this observation period, participants completed a survey about their experience, providing both quantitative and qualitative data.

Key Takeaways for Marketers

While the full report dives into considerable detail, the core aim is to provide brands with a clearer understanding of how to connect with Snapchat users effectively. By understanding which content formats and ad types perform best, marketers can refine their strategies to maximize engagement and achieve better campaign outcomes.
