Director for Discover at Snapchat , Nick Bell, explained:
[quote]It’s a really, really simple product. It’s a 10 second ad, two cents per view to reach a really engaged audience.[/quote]
As simple as it might be, it certainly makes a difference for Snapchat and the Discover tab that was launched months ago.
Whether Two Pennies will actually be successful or not is to be seen, but it places Snapchat as a platform that has its eye on the other big players, and wants to compete. With other social platforms putting a lot of effort into developing their own ad solutions, Snapchat is getting serious about advertising.
