11. Why Instagram?
11/3/2019 11
Organic Reach is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve on
social media, especially in light of algorithm changes like the
recent Facebook News Feed update. More and more brands
are expected to put dollars behind their content, in order to
ensure that it gets seen. However, adopting new formats could be
the loophole that could earn you better visibility.
Instagram Stories have tons of marketer-friendly features that open up more avenues for creativity, branding, and more
so it’s important not to shy away from this new format because of their vanishing act. On the contrary, social media
marketers can leverage Instagram Stories to create a stellar storytelling strategy, that has the added advantage of
reaching their audiences instantly.
