HBO and Asos are a few of the brands playing with Snapchat’s new ad offerings. Both have tested out Promoted Stories, a format that allows advertisers to play a longer-form combination of videos and images.

The innovative new advertising comes when Snapchat could use the bottom line boost after “missing revenue expectations by $30 million last quarter.” (Marketing Dive, TechCrunch)
