Instagram is making it easier for brands to tell and<\/em> sell their story through imagery. The photo-sharing platform announced on its blog on Wednesday that it has introduced a new format called ‘carousel ads’ where marketers can upload and share multiple images in one post. This in turn allows people on their ad to swipe left to view more images as well as click on a link of the product or brand for additional information.<\/p>\n

‘One way to look at it is carousel ads bring the potential of multi-page print campaigns to mobile phones \u2013 with the added benefit of taking people to a website to learn more. For instance, a fashion company could use the carousel to deconstruct the individual products in a \u2018look.\u2019 A car company might share an array of different features of a vehicle and provide a link to learn more about the new model. Or, an advertiser could showcase how multiple ingredients come together to make a delicious meal,’ the post read.<\/p>\n

This move marks a shift towards web searches for the platform which has till now been only known for its photo-sharing capacity.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0Pinterest is also revising its ad-targeting services, allowing advertisers a more precise way to reach intended audiences. Marketing Week<\/a> noted that although ‘Pinterest\u2019s ad services are not currently available in the UK, brands can use the service to create tailored \u2018boards\u2019 with brand content.’<\/p>\n

These developments tie in well and reinstates the topic of our recent white paper on how visual media or the so called- rich media platforms are the future of content marketing.<\/p>\n
