(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Marketing Dive, Snapchat released guidance on how marketers can connect with younger users through humor and provided tips on effective comedy writing for the platform.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): on Snapchat, write the joke first, then figure out where your product sits in it. Do not write a product message and add humor to it. Reverse it. The humor is the message. Your product is the punchline or the setup, not the centerpiece.\nWhat that means for you: Snapchat pushing humor is not surprising — it is a platform built on ephemeral, playful content. But the directive is clear for brands: if you sound like a marketing department, you will lose Gen Z. If you sound like a friend making a joke, you keep them.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Marketing Dive: https://www.marketingdive.com/news/sociable-snapchat-tries-to-teach-brands-to-be-funny/827235/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes.
