Chad Newell

Chad Newell is Snapwire’s founder,chief executive officer and sole director. He has served in these positions since he incorporated the company as Snapwire Media, Inc., in August 2012. Chad came up with the idea for Snapwire after seeing the progression of talented photographers on Facebook’s Instagram platform. He believed that aspiring photographers were adopting the Instagram platform to gain exposure and validation for their photos. With the evolution of Apple’s iPhone 5S, Chad witnessed the world’s most widely adopted smartphone have the capability to produce a high resolution photo that could be sold and monetized on traditional stock photo sites.
