• Taco Bell says they don’t even have an exact count of friends. “We never know how many we have.”

Should You Use a Messaging App?
![Page 36: Messaging Apps to Watch—and Maybe Use for Your Brands · Messaging Apps to Watch— ... Cheaper than SMS ... Colgate Colgate India created a contest-based campaign where people](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060419/5f16a21d23b3ca5f634245b4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
If you do…
• Audience is young, vibrant and connected
• Open to hearing from brands often if it’s of value
• Think personal and lifestyle, not corporate and commercial
• Can engage via sponsoring stickers, customer service, entertaining with games and challenges, conversing with audiences
