Over past 5 years, Instagram has witnessed growth in performance, interaction, users and pictures shared every day. According to data revealed by Facebook, over 50% of Indian Instagrammers have frequently purchased products and services from the brands they follow.
Facebok launched Instagram ads in India in the last trimester of 2015 but most brands/users haven’t mastered the skills to use it to its utmost capability. Nevertheless, there are few rock stars that touched the epitome of their account success and have led an example for us to follow.

Agencies:
It is extremely crucial for digital agencies to make their presence felt on social media - not only it gives the clients a view of what they do, but also, help in cultivating an internal culture. Sharing a picture or two of their inside-office-jokes or an informative creative can help build a relationship with the audience. Crisp content and social media engagement can do wonders for the business and might even generate more leads.
