The 7 Best IGTV Channels You Need To Be Watching
For the better part of the last eight years Instagram has dominated the social media arena and completely changed the game when it comes to influencer marketing. Most recently, after announcing that they now had over 1 billion users, Instagram threw the gauntlet down on YouTube and announced the launch of IGTV (Instagram TV).
In addition to now supporting videos up to an hour in length, all users will be able to create and maintain their own “Channels” and feature exclusive content to followers. As influencers and celebrities around the world begin to push out content on their channels, the real question becomes, “who should I be watching”?
