Your supporters also want to see what your staff and working space look like – the human beings behind the avatar, if you will. In 2011 I had gotten in the very bad habit of listening to (mostly) CNN in the background while working… all day long. I didn’t even really grasp it and it’s potential until mid-2011.

Launched in 2011, Snapchat is an image and video messaging app that is very popular with tweens and teens and increasingly Millennials and Gen Xers.
