Real Friends
Snapchat’s First Global Brand Campaign
We have developed a series of stories of actual Snapchatters from all around the world showcasing the highly personal, fun, and compelling ways Snapchat is used by close friends to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.

Goal & Brief
The CPV campaign is Snapchat’s first fully integrated global marketing campaign. The purpose of the campaign is to explain and clarify Snapchat’s core value prop to the world — that it’s the fastest way to communicate with your real friends. The campaign was developed for all 13 growth priority markets but initial campaign flights to impact 7 select markets.

As a Sr. Creative working on the campaign, I had the following responsibilities.
Film Graphics
I worked through the graphics used throughout the anchor film. I also worked through the titles made for each friend pair. Both of these executions involved using our in-app caption styles to bring the app to life in these human stories as much as possible.
OOH Billboards
The billboard campaign was a large, sophisticated undertaking. For context, we highlighted friendships around the world and our billboard campaign followed suit by being a global rollout.For each priority market, we had featured friendships and designated billboard real-estate. So we built custom Bitmoji stickers for each friend pair of them doing activities that are relevant to their relationships.
For example, Cindy & Brian went on a first date getting dinner at a wharf, so we highlighted their foodie tendencies and put up a few billboards at that specific wharf.
