LINE sponsored stickers

Being remembered takes more than one impression.

Consumers face a flood of messages every day. Ads buy reach, but rarely keep the relationship. The value of stickers is turning your brand into content users choose to keep, share, and see every time they open LINE.

01

Exposure fades fast

Regular ads end the moment the placement disappears, and brand recall is quickly buried by the next message.

02

Friend acquisition is costly

Driving users to your Official Account needs incentives and a smooth flow — every extra step costs you sign-ups.

03

Campaign buzz doesn’t stick

A short campaign can spike attention, but without an audience you can keep talking to, momentum is hard to sustain.

Everyday chat is your brand’s most natural placement.

Free LINE stickers enjoy exceptional awareness, downloads, and sharing — ideal for rapidly lifting brand visibility and Official Account friend counts.

FAQ

The questions brands ask most often when evaluating LINE sponsored stickers.

Which brands are sponsored stickers suitable for?

Brands that want to grow LINE Official Account friends quickly, raise awareness, support product launches, or bring character IP and brand voice into consumers’ daily chats.

What is the biggest difference from regular ad campaigns?

Regular ads mainly deliver exposure or clicks. Sponsored stickers use free downloads as the incentive for users to join your Official Account, and friend-to-friend sharing keeps the brand visible.

Can we remarket after users download stickers?

Yes. Friends acquired through sticker downloads become the base for follow-up messaging and segmented remarketing, and can be extended with LAP audiences.

What materials do we need to prepare?

Typically brand identity, character or product assets, campaign goals, target audience, and desired launch timing. Without existing character IP, we can start from your brand voice and common chat scenarios.

Can we focus only on friend count, or also brand image?

Both. Stickers work as a rapid friend-growth tool, and through character design, phrasing, and visual style they also bring your brand into daily conversations in a warmer way.
