Kylie Jenner just said she was not using Snapchat any more in a tweet published on 21st February 2018 at 10:50 and just one hour later she published another one loving the platform. There was no slip by the platform. It was just Jenner&#8217;s fault and she tried to fix the error, as some tweeters blamed her by the loss of the value of Snap shares on that same day.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore?

No matter if it is a mobile game,a snap, a post on facebook, one tweet, any ad communication must be part of a planned strategy aimed to add value in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>The search of virality at all costs is not the right path to build a lasting brand with growing market value and lasting clients\/users. Even more if the viral action lacks at all of the needed sense and sensibility to trigger the positive virality able to build the first step in a lasting relationship with the clients\/users. A long term relationship able to drive profits for the brand behing the commercial communication action.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Image over the headline.-<\/strong>\u201cWould You Rather\u201d Snapchat campaign, the snap that got viral on Twitter.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snapchat&#8217;s apology for running the mobile video-game ad\u00a0 \u201cWould You Rather,\u201d has not been enough to make the app recover their share value.
