Hipstamatic Branches Out With A New iPad Magazine, Snap, And #MakeBeautiful Social Campaign

Screen shot 2012-05-31 at 16.23.02Hipstamatic has made a successful business out of its popular (and paid) iPhone camera appand the many features it has incorporated to enhance that photo experience: four million active monthly users and 50 million photos snapped through it each month. Now the company behind it, Synthetic, is looking to build on that foundation and create more engagementamong the existing Hipstamatic community, and perhaps find new users in the process.Today, it becomes an iPad magazine publisher, with a monthly culture and lifestyle title for the iPad called Snap, consisting of original content and images created by Hipstamatic users. Unlike Synthetics paid Hipstamatic app, Snap will be free.Alongside that, the company is ramping up its social media profile, with the launch of #makebeautiful. This project will encourage Hipstamatic users to mark pictures using the hashtag to put them into a special stream on Twitter and Instagram and on its own site -- the first time they're aggregating their users' photos in this way.
