The Future of Snapchat Ads? You Wearing Them

September 11, 2025 By: FMI Managing Editor

Snap Inc. has launched its new generative AI lens, letting users create custom filters from prompts. With a simple descriptive sentence, users can experiment with new outfits and looks.

But what if brands could add their own products and logos to this feature?

In the past, Snapchatโ€™s subsidiary, Bitmoji, has worked with major fashion brands to dress users’ virtual avatars in their products. Extending this to the new lens could let users virtually try on sneakers, try on popular clothes, or experiment with branded makeup, right inside the app.

The result? Ads that feel less like ads.

Users can instantly try on the latest drop, preview a collab, or even see how a brand fits their personal style before ever hitting โ€œbuy.โ€

Could generative lenses become the most engaging ad format yet?
