Reuters explains that Viacom, the American global mass media company, is looking to establish a deal with the social platform that will allow it to sell content on Snapchat and through its advertising network. This potential deal would extend the current one, which allows Viacom to participate in Snapchat’s Discover feature with Comedy Central and MTV.
More specifically, the new deal, which is reportedly under negotiation. will give Viacom access to the currently unbranded Live Stories. The latter consists of curated user-posts based on geolocation. It’s very possible that Viacom will enter the world of promoted location targeted content in the next few months.
