Behind the Ghost: Crafting Employer Brand Stories for Snap

Snapchat wanted to stand out to senior tech talent. As part of an add-on landing page for their employer brand profile, our challenge was to distill the key selling points of working on their product and engineering teams — and make it as memorable as the dancing hot dog filter.

(the story)

We started by analyzing Snapchat’s existing employer-facing messaging and benchmarking against peers in the industry. From there, I pitched several creative directions, focusing on stories that highlighted cybersecurity, emerging tech, and engineering infrastructure.

To bring those ideas to life, I interviewed Snap employees and worked with a writer to shape their responses into “microstories” — short, authentic vignettes that offered a peek into the work and culture. I then edited and refined the copy in collaboration with Snapchat stakeholders, addressing feedback while keeping the tone consistent with the brand’s voice.

(the results)

The final landing page used these microstories to give prospective candidates an authentic glimpse into life at Snapchat. The approach turned employee perspectives into a storytelling framework that strengthened Snapchat’s position as an employer of choice — building trust with candidates and boosting interest in their tech and product teams.
