didn’t report their advertising top line specifically, there were indications both companies are also doing well in that area.

Snap’s total active advertisers have more than doubled from the year-ago quarter, according to CEO Evan Spiegel. That’s coupled with two million more global daily active users than expected. More advertisers and more eyeballs mean more revenue per ad.
