In case you missed it, Instagram recently surpassed 1 Billion (yes, “billion” with a capital B) users, so it’s a big freaking deal when it comes to social media marketing.

The social giant also just released IG TV, which is supposedly a direct competitor for YouTube.

All of this means that if you’re not using Instagram for your business’s marketing, you may want to consider it. That’s because your target audience is probably using it as you read this.

And if you already are using Instagram for your business, this is a sign that you should take some time to think about the content you’re producing and posting.

It should be strategic, not random, and that requires research and thought.

The fine contributors to Mark Growth cover the topic of Instagram pretty frequently, so for this week’s newsletter, it’s all about taking your ‘gram game to the next level.
