(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nSnapchat released guidance on how marketers can connect with younger users through humor and provided tips on effective comedy writing, per Marketing Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if a platform has to teach brands how to speak to its audience, it means brands are arriving with the wrong tone. Snapchat's move says: you don't understand this audience, so here's the vocabulary. The play: download Snapchat's guidance and run one test campaign on Snap this month with your fastest-moving product. Write three different ad versions using the humor framework — one self-aware joke about your category, one pop-culture reference your audience actually cares about, one that breaks the fourth wall (talks to the Snap audience directly, not at them). Measure completion rate and swipe-through rate. The best version tells you which voice your audience responds to. Use that voice everywhere for the next month.\nWhat that means for you: This is a watch. It's not a documented win with numbers. But Snapchat wouldn't ship guidance like this unless brands were failing. The implication is clear: you're not funny enough for your audience. That's worth testing.\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.
