What experience do we have in INSTAGRAM advertising?
For over 25 clients, we have built successful Instagram strategies as part of their overall marketing mix.
Depending on the main focus of the business, we adjust our advertising campaigns to justify these goals. We have businesses where the main focus is the positioning of a new product and there Instagram is extremely useful to us – especially with the popular Story audience. For our other B2C clients the main goal is the sale of clothes and accessories, for which we often use the so-called collection advertising and product catalog promotion. By positioning these formats on Instagram and properly targeting and optimizing, we achieve our goals.

Why advertise on INSTAGRAM?
Advertising on Instagram allows brands to reach a wider audience, which due to the specifics of the platform is much more likely to engage with the content seen. Apart from being purely for Awareness, the platform is becoming an increasingly suitable place to increase sales, thanks to its rich set of formats and good functionality.
The main advantages of Instagram advertising are:
Building a loyal audience through engagement - comments, shares, likes. This creates a stronger connection between consumers and the brand, and the more connected they are to you, the more likely they are to choose your product or service.
Instagram advertising formats are merging with other organic content, which is a plus as users become more and more sensitive to ads.
Your competitors are active in the platform - by delaying your online presence, you allow your competitors to be more active there and grow their audience and business.
IN RECENT YEARS THE FOLLOWING TRENDS AND DIRECTIONS OF INSTAGRAM DEVELOPMENT HAVE BEEN OBSERVED:
- The social network is becoming a place for searching and shopping for products. Proof of this is the new Shopping Channel in Instagram Explore, as well as the possible integration of a product catalog with your account.
- Instagram Live - one of the best opportunities to communicate directly with your followers clearly and authentically. Live videos can be accompanied by a Shopping tag that allows online shopping during a live broadcast.
- Trends affecting the content of the platform are associated with the increasing use of text images, carousels and long descriptions of visions that resemble "small blogging".
- Fully customized content through the new Reels trend - interactive shoppable formats visible in the Explore section, allowing them to be viewed and discovered by a wider audience.

Videos are the perfect way to tell more about a brand, product or service. With their movement and sound, they grab the attention of consumers. The length of the video and its display locations may vary depending on your goals.
Carousel Ad
With it you can show up to 10 different pictures or videos in one ad. Each picture or video can have a separate link, which allows you to show many different products, give more information about each of them or develop a story between the different visions.
