How did a social app help Last Leg presenter Adam Hill run the 100m as fast as Jamie Peacock?! This was one question Joe H., Distribution & Partnerships Senior Lead at Channel 4, answered at C21Media's Content London. During his panel he discussed how platforms like Snap are empowering publishers and content creators to build fan-first experiences and what he expects the future of sports content to be, alongside Kahlen Macaulay and Ellie Hooper. The Paris 2024 Paralympic Games – which had 41 million views across digital platforms – is a perfect example of how we reach a wide range of fans and encourage connection on a deeper level. This is demonstrated perfectly by Adam Hill in the below clip as he tries out the AR generated content on Snap. This lens was used over 5 million times during the games and achieved a share rate three times the norm of snap lenses. This is just one example of how we look to continually innovate and adapt formats on our existing programming, but also how we bring new bespoke content to every platform for viewers to enjoy wherever they’re watching as part of our wider Fast Forward strategy.
