Snapchat is still buzzing strong in Ireland, especially among younger crowds craving quick, authentic content. If you’re an influencer based in Ireland looking to team up with brands in Germany, you’re sitting on a goldmine. Cross-border collabs are where it’s at in 2025, and Snapchat’s unique vibe offers brands a fresh, real-time connection with audiences. Let’s cut the fluff and get straight to how you can make this happen, keeping it practical and grounded for the Irish influencer scene.
📢 Marketing Landscape in Ireland and Germany
Ireland’s social media game is heavily youth-driven, with Snapchat being a staple platform for 16-30 year olds. Unlike Instagram or TikTok, Snapchat thrives on spontaneity — think quick snaps, stories, and private chats. When you want to collaborate with German brands, understanding their market nuances is key. Germany is big on quality, authenticity, and data privacy — which aligns well with Snapchat’s ephemeral, user-controlled content.
Irish influencers like Emma O’Connell (@emmaoconnellsnaps) and local agencies such as SocialBuzz Dublin have already started bridging these markets. On the German side, brands like Adidas and Nivea (though big, they engage with micro and nano influencers locally) seek out authentic voices, often through influencer platforms or direct outreach.
💡 How Irish Snapchat Influencers Can Approach German Brand Collaboration
First off, get your profile sharp. German brands dig professionalism but also want influencers to keep it real. Your Snapchat content should reflect your authentic personality — no stiff corporate speak here.
-
Find the right fit: Use platforms like BaoLiba or Germany-based influencer agencies like Pulse Advertising to spot brands open to Irish influencers. Look for brands with a history of cross-border campaigns.
-
Pitch with local flavour: When reaching out, show you understand the German audience’s values — sustainability, community, and privacy. Highlight how your Snapchat content can tell their story in a fresh Irish tone.
-
Negotiate payment in Euro (€): While you’re paid in Euro, remember Ireland uses the Euro too, so no currency hassle on your end. Most brands prefer bank transfers or PayPal. Ensure your invoices comply with both Irish and German tax regulations — for instance, VAT considerations can be tricky in cross-border deals.
-
Legal check: Germany is strict on advertising disclosures (think “#Anzeige” or “#Werbung” tags). Snapchat influencers must be transparent about paid promotions to avoid fines. Ireland’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASAI) also backs this. So, keep your disclosures clear on every snap.
📊 Data Insights and Trends as of May 2025
According to recent data in 2025 May, Irish Snapchat users spend an average of 30 minutes daily on the app, with engagement rates on sponsored content averaging around 12%. German brands investing in Snapchat influencer marketing have seen a 20% uptick in brand recall among 18-25 demographics when partnering with Irish creators.
Micro-influencers (10k-50k followers) in Ireland are especially prized for cross-border campaigns because they offer niche, loyal audiences and more flexible collaboration terms.
📢 Local Examples to Learn From
Take the Irish skincare brand “GlowUp.ie” — they recently teamed up with Dublin-based Snapchat influencer Liam Murphy to promote their new vegan skincare line to German consumers. Liam created daily “behind-the-scenes” snaps showing product use, which resonated well with eco-conscious German shoppers.
Another case is “Taste of Ireland,” a food delivery service expanding into Germany, working with Snapchat influencer Aisling Byrne. She crafted fun, snackable content around Irish recipes, tapping into Germany’s growing love for authentic foreign cuisine.
💡 Practical Tips for Smooth Collaboration
-
Content localisation: Even though you’re Irish, sprinkle in some German phrases or cultural nods in your Snapchat stories. It shows respect and effort — brands notice.
-
Time zones: Ireland and Germany share the same time zone (GMT+1 with daylight savings), so scheduling posts or live snaps is straightforward.
-
Contracts: Always get agreements in writing, covering content scope, delivery timeline, payment terms, and usage rights. BaoLiba offers handy contract templates tailored for influencer-brand deals.
-
Leverage Irish payment options: Use Revolut or TransferWise for hassle-free international payments with low fees. Keep receipts for tax season.
