Snap Inc. welcomes Chris Lewis to the team

Snapchat’s parent company Snap Inc. has appointed Chris Lewis as its first Talent Partnerships Lead for Australia and New Zealand.

Reporting to Snap’s Director of Global Content Partnerships, Jim Shepherd, Lewis will lead strategy, outreach and onboarding efforts with local creators and develop partnerships.

He will oversee relationships with Australian and Kiwi public figures and content creators – inspiring them to utilise Snapchat in ways that help unlock their creativity and optimise opportunities for brand partnerships and monetisation.

Lewis will also work closely with the global Content Partnerships team to help hone its editorial perspective for local content.

He has been the Senior Creative Producer for APAC at Snap for the last five years, where he was responsible for managing all production for Snap across the region, from Augmented Reality to sponsored video campaigns, as well as talent and influencer integration.

Lewis will draw from over 15 years of industry experience in branded content production, campaign management, media partnerships, and talent management to help local creators build their communities and careers and unlock more opportunities for advertisers to reach Snapchat’s more than 9.5 million-strong audience in Australia and New Zealand.

Ryan Ferguson, Managing Director for Snap Inc. in Australia and New Zealand, says, “The appointment of Chris as our first Talent Partnerships Lead for ANZ is just one example of how we’re investing further in the growth of our creator community across the Tasman. And I’m really excited about the new opportunities that building out this team will offer advertisers in Australia and New Zealand to connect authentically with our highly engaged Snapchat community via local creators.”

Lewis says, “As we kick off 2025, I’m really looking forward to connecting with and supporting our growing, thriving and talented local community of Snap Stars. I’m also passionate about helping Aussie and Kiwi creators who may not have engaged with Snapchat or haven’t yet found their footing on the platform to feel confident about maximising all of the creative content creation tools and monetisation opportunities Snapchat has to offer.”
