2. In 2015, Connector launched The Snapys with a mission to make
the world a more beautiful place one photo at the time. We
created a unique engagement platform powered by the global
Instagram community with a series of real world events including
an amazing awards show.
In 2016, the campaign received 3.51 million #huaweisnapys
hashtag interactions on Instagram and reached 95% of Ireland’s
Instagram population of over 800,000 people.
For 2017, The Snapys will be even bigger and better! Do you want
to get involved in what promises to be another amazing
Instagram awards campaign with the WOW factor?
Join us and support local talent, bond with the Instagram
community, make influential friends and generate tons of
user-generated content!
