4 ways we measure success on DiscoverLoyalty users who return to the edition 5 times out 7Completion Rate how many users complete the entire editionSwipe Rate how many users swipe to an article or videoTime Spent average time spent on top snaps and longform

Sky News audience on SnapchatMostly maleBiggest age group is 18-35 (more than 60% of UK Snapchat users are 18-35)But each edition can have its own unique demographic, based on front page story
