Snap rolls out a slew of updates to help performance marketers

On Thursday, we were invited to hear about a series of updates and insights from Snap, lots of which are designed to drive app growth. Snap has never been so focused on helping Performance and Direct response marketing. It’s an exciting time for app marketing on Snap, so we thought it was only fair to share the insights.

Delivery insights

Snap is also rolling out new capabilities for delivery insights. Soon app marketers can enjoy:

The ability to see delivery insights for users who install

You can then export by CSV to run custom pivots across all ad sets or ads

Reach & Frequency tools

Snap’s new R&F tools will enable advertisers to plan and purchase ad campaigns in advance with increased control over how many people they reach and ad frequency. Soon advertisers will be able to use an R&F planning tool that generates campaign outcome predictions for budget, reach, and CPM.

Audiences

Audience insights allows customers to explore and plan prospective targeting specs — segmented by dimensions like genders, age groups, locations, interests, and devices. Marketers will now be able to save audiences so they can be applied to ad sets during campaign execution.
