Snap stock said during its NewFronts presentation that it will be expanding its “takeover” offering to include First Story. This new feature will allow marketers to reserve the first video ad users view between Friend Stories. This is a follow-up to similar features introduced in First Commercial and First Lens. It argues that the new function has the potential to reach 50 million people every day.

Snap also revealed big sports sponsorship packages, such as the Olympics in 2024 and the Women’s World Cup, and content from continuing relationships with the WNBA, NBA, and NFL. These sponsorships will allow Snap to broadcast games from these leagues.

During this time, Snap has recently made rapid progress toward making its artificial intelligence chatbot, My AI, available for free to all its users. Now, the company is also looking to monetize this area of its service.
