One group Snap is still working to court is the marketing industry. A mere 7% of marketers said they used Snapchat in the first quarter of 2017, according to a recent Social Media Examiner survey charted for us by Statista.
That leaves Snap far behind Facebook, its mortal enemy, which was used by 94% of marketers. But then again, everyone tends to trail Facebook. Perhaps more tellingly, other less successful social networks like Twitter and Pinterest also pass Snap by when it comes to attracting marketers.
Snap is working to improve its appeal — and only recently moved to attracting smaller advertisers — but this isn't the best sign for a company Mark Zuckerberg is trying to squash at every turn.
