B2CRM News Update: Instagram Features for Brands, and Two Infographics You Need to See

Watch a quick weekly news roundup. This time: IG ad capabilities, consumer’s covid-19 messaging fatigue, and ICE CREAMMMMvv

Last week we talked about how the influencer market is maybe (for sure) going through some major changes, but don’t believe anyone that is trying to tell you it’s past its prime.

The data is very clear about it, and now The Drum is also reporting that “three-quarters of brands have upped influencer spend despite pandemic”.

Combine that with this week’s Advertising Week’s annual events, and you’ll see why there is so much news around ad platforms going around right now.

But, to stay on Instagram, and finish off with two infographics – one useful, the other TASTYYYY – watch the round up video below.
