✨ Today’s Insight ✨

Leveling up your Instagram Stories game

📰 TL;DR - It’s a small lever to pull in your content strategy, but a really good Instagram Stories presence can make your brand stand out on social media. IG Stories make it easy to stay in touch with your audience, and IG has some tips on how to take your Stories to the next level.

💡 Insight - Try out the ‘Add Yours’ Sticker and Templates. These allow anyone to contribute to a public story thread that you create. Consider creating your own custom prompt or jumping on a popular one.

Mention someone after you post a story. Tagging other accounts in your stories is an easy way to engage with others and allow them to add your post to their story to reach their unique audience. If you forgot to tag someone, just tap the three dots to “More,” then “Add Mention.”

Make a collage with the Layout function. Add multiple photos and edit them together using IG’s seamless Layout collage tool.

Fill the background with a solid color. This one is an easy one and instantly makes your Stories more brand-focused and cohesive. Open any photo in the Stories feature, tap “Draw,” use the color picker to find the right color in the pic, then press and hold on the screen to fill. This one’s one of my faves!
