At Snapchat we are passionate about helping creators grow their audiences and build their businesses on our platform. Adding revenue share on Story ads is a great step in the right direction 💸 theverge.com/2022/2/14/2292…

With new tools like Director Mode 🎥, we are helping creators uplevel their videos on both Stories and Spotlight, and along with a suite of monetization tools, we are continuing to help creators grow their audiences and build their businesses on our platform 💸

We announced a new program Snap Inc. to support Black Creators, partnering with Google Pixel, Westbrook and UNCMMN. Black creators often face systemic barriers, from disparities in compensation to attribution, and we are providing mentorship and financial resources to help.

“Snap’s efforts to lure creators and their followers back to its platform show early signs of traction, enticing popular internet personalities…the time users spent watching Snapchat Stories from creators in the revenue-share program in the U.S. more than doubled YoY” 👻
