Snapchat might not be brand managers’ social media darling, but don’t count it out.

“The company is also reaping the reward of investments in its advertising platform. Its third-quarter revenue rose to $679 million from $446 million a year earlier, while analysts were modeling $557 million,” MarketWatch reported.
