Endy First Canadian Brand to Use Snapchat ‘3D World Lens’ Ad

Toronto-based mattress company Endy has announced it is the first Canadian brand to launch a 3D World Lens ad within Snapchat, which offers companies the chance to debut an augmented reality campaign.

Endy says their new 3D World Lens, once unlocked, will be available for 24 hours. The AR ad features a panda dancing (with its hands in the ‘ay-er’) and unboxing a mattress, which users can insert into any environment.

Endy says they are the number one online mattress brand in Canada “with the highest customer reviews and lowest rate of returns.” The company says they are on track to hit $50 million in revenue in 2018, selling their locally-made beds exclusively in Canada.
