Although Instagram still reigns supreme as the top photo sharing app, its rival Snapchat is still going strong.
Many brands have had quite a bit of success finding creative ways to use this innovative platform to connect with customers through smart, savvy content marketing.
A while back, Snapchat officially introduced advertising options.
Recently, they've expanded their offerings with two brand new formats:
Promoted Stories, a slideshow feature that audiences will see mixed in with organic stories from other users
And an Augmented Reality Trial ad option.
The latter is especially exciting.
Augmented reality is relatively new, but it's a rising trend that may some day become incredibly pervasive.
In a recent article, Social Media Examiner highlights these exciting new ways to put out marketing content that's truly a memorable experience.

The second new ad format is called Augmented Reality Trial ads
that allow users to play with an AR version of a product overlaid on the world around them.
