Snapchat target market was created by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy and Reggie Brown—former students at Stanford University—in 2012.

Snapchat’s ephemeral nature adds an element of fun and creativity to the app, revolutionising how we share content with friends. The platform also features unique filters, AR lenses and truly innovative photo- and video-editing tools.
