As or 2017, Instagram has more than 700 million monthly active users, who upload over 95 million posts a day. During the last five years, Instagram saw the largest users’ growth in all age groups, but especially among teenagers and young adults: more than 50% of 18-29 years old use Instagram.
The Instagram rush offers many marketing opportunities to brands, but also create a huge competition. The engagement rate of users in brand’s accounts is higher in Instagram comparing to other social networks. Still, posting beautiful images will not guarantee your success on Instagram; a successful Instagram marketing campaign is usually a result of a calculated strategy, a unique and identified brand identity with a creative, visual base, and an effective community management.
