Overview

Launched in 2010, Instagram quickly gained huge critical mass. Many brands identified the potential of this social media network, and quickly created their Instagram accounts.

It has since become widely-used by many verticals, from fashion and retail, to non-profit and some B2B categories. Now the platform claims 600 million monthly active users, with 95 million new photos added each day worldwide.

Owned by Facebook, who were seeking to retain the younger demographic, Instagram’s appeal increased with its mobile first strategy, combined with the volume of smartphones being sold, and the app being accessible on Android and iOS.

This course will teach you how to develop a successful Instagram marketing strategy, how to target the right audience, run content marketing and advertising activity, and measure its impact.

I love emarketeers courses. They're always a great balance between informative and collaborative. They're absolutely never dull. And it helps that they take place in a brilliant venue that makes the whole day and atmosphere all the more appealing. I never really like to go on courses by anyone else!
