New rules for working with branded content on Instagram

Instagram will allow brands and creators to collaborate to create ad content and launch it without posting to a profile.

The process will look like this:

1. The advertiser sends a request to the blogger to create an advertisement.
2. The blogger receives notification and approves the ad.
3. On behalf of the blogger, advertising starts showing for the advertiser’s budget without posting to the account!

Also, Instagram has a number of changes in relation to branded content:

• Sponsored Stories may include active links to other profiles, hashtags and geolocation;
• posts with Shopping Tags can be used for targeted advertising;
• it will be possible to set an age limit for branded content.

New tools provide more opportunities for bloggers and advertisers to collaborate.

Previously, a tool “Frequently Asked Questions” for private messages appeared on Instagram, and the creation of travel guides became available to all users.
