Snapchat announce two new partnerships and features rolling out to users

Snapchat has announced two new partnerships where users can now partake in new Bitmoji action and new AR try-on experiences to share with their friends and family thanks to their new partners, H&M and Adidas.

The new partnerships are a first of its kind, with a company spokesperson stating:

“We are thrilled to introduce this first-of-its-kind Bitmoji Drop in partnership with Adidas,” and “Unlocking new Bitmoji Fashion experiences presents an exciting opportunity for Snapchatters to get access to exclusive digital fashion and express their unique digital identity and a new frontier for innovative brand partnerships at Bitmoji scale.”

Whilst Erika Wykes-Sneyd, VP of the Adidas studio (The Three Stripes Studio) said:

“In November Adidas launched its first ever collection of wearable NFTs to meet our community’s desire for profile picture styling. This represents a new product category called ‘Virtual Gear’. Today, in partnership with Snapchat, we add to a growing collection of virtual styling with the opportunity for anyone to style their bitmoji with the adidas “Into The Metaverse” (ITM) track jacket to flex their three stripe life virtually.”

Brooke DeWitt, Product Strategy and Marketing Manager at Snap Inc has also stated:

“Augmented reality is a powerful tool for fostering self-expression and creativity. The innovative AR garments co-created by the iODF and H&M represent an incredibly immersive and accessible way to engage and delight the H&M community in the world of digital fashion.”

So what are the new partnerships bringing?

H&M & Snap

H&M and Snapchat have partnered together to launch three new AR try-on experiences, available in H&M’s mobile app and on Snapchat.The Lenses offer the ability to try on one-of-a-kind digital designs, of which there are three garments to choose from expanding the expressive possibilities of fashion. These AR garments can be tried out and worn via H&M’s mobile Android and iOS app and the Snapchat app.

H&M have leveraged Snap’s Camera Kit to build augmented reality into their mobile apps. Camera Kit is a cross platform, software development kit that enables businesses like H&M to integrate Snap’s camera technology and Lenses into their own mobile and web properties, meeting their customers where they are.
