• "Initially we all believed Snapchat was the answer for teens and tweens who wanted to social network outside the glare of their over-protective parents.

While we are sharing less personal information on Facebook, the opposite is true of Snapchat.“

• "There are over 8 billion video views every day on Snapchat, and largely those views are from millennials. The app is designed for mobile users (vertical videos are standard) and for millennials whose first digital language is often mobile, this is appealing and natural. Millennials speak in the language of snaps: soundbites, chats, brief moments, and impermanent flashes of content. The app was created by millennials (Evan Speigel is just 25 years old) and has informed and shaped millennial culture. If you want to reach millennials, your brand needs to be on Snapchat."

• "The way Snapchat works is much closer to how we communicate face to face than any other social network. What I mean by this is that: when we talk to each other, passing in the halls or just living out our lives, those moments disappear. Snapchat emulates that behavior and psychology." (Gary Vaynerchuk)

• "What changed… well first off I admit that I was wrong… I also started to realize that I need to watch and learn from those doing it great and then adapt it to my style and personal brand. I was looking at the limitations and the lack of scale or automation as downsides rather than understanding that those limitations are exactly why the time you spend on snapchat is real and raw!“

• "Snapchat to me allows for real and raw storytelling that isn’t full of fluff, buzzwords or marketing crap. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have business value, rather because of these reasons the relationships & authenticity you create on Snapchat become business value GOLD!"
