Creating an Instagram ad is hard work, especially for marketers whose schedules are so crammed that any creative brainstorming can feel overwhelmingly draining. The platform is incredibly visual, full of amazing content from curators and creators who seemingly have an unending stream of ideas for new posts. Meanwhile, it’s browsed by the most digitally savvy and cynical audience anywhere on the Internet (those young shoppers can be ruthless!). The nature of Instagram forces brands to get creative to stand out from the crowd but punishes them when they get too obviously precious or clever.
And the most unfortunate part? Instagram’s algorithm can be random in a way that most marketing isn’t — it’s near impossible to predict whether your amazing and novel idea will go viral or not. In fact, success is oftentimes the result of careful planning and preparation that helps you to devise the right post promoting the right product to the right person at the right time. Whew, that’s a lot of factors at play!
