Snapchat strategy for New Year sunscreen ads
Snapchat during New Year is peak competition. Younger audiences and impulse purchases — and during New Year, these audiences are actively searching for sunscreen products. Podcast-style ads earn attention because the conversational format feels native to Snap Ads, Story Ads while delivering the New Year urgency DTC sunscreen brands respond to.
Start with the sunscreen avoidance — the greasy feel, the white cast in photos, the one they forgot because it was unpleasant — then describe the sunscreen they actually look forward to applying every morning. On Snapchat during New Year, add: lead with transformation and fresh starts. 'this is the year you finally...' or 'start 2026 with...' — the resolution framing is overused but effective when paired with a specific, achievable outcome your product enables..
