What are
Instagram Ads?
Instagram Ads are a part of Meta Ads and as such can be published by selecting Instagram as a placement for your campaign within Meta Ads Network. Advertisers can create ads using a variety of formats and target them to specific demographics, interests, and behaviors. All targeting options from Meta Ads are also available for Instagram campaigns. Instagram ads appear in users’ feeds, stories, reels, explore page, and other areas of the app, and are marked as sponsored content.
Businesses can use Instagram ads to reach a wider audience, increase brand awareness, drive website traffic, and boost sales. With over 1 billion active users and a highly engaged community, Instagram provides a powerful advertising platform that can help businesses of all sizes achieve their marketing goals.
Why would you
advertise using
Instagram?
One of the advantages Instagram has over its big brother Facebook is that it has an on average younger demographic and that vertical formats such as reels and stories are more widely used. A significant quality of Instagram is also that it’s almost exclusively used on mobile, meaning your ad is more likely to be full screen and grab the user’s attention.
With Instagram Ads you have access to all the objectives and targeting features of Meta Ads (formerly Facebook Ads) and user data is also shared across platforms. This means that if a user demonstrates interest in a certain topic on Facebook, you can also target them by this interest on Instagram.
For companies in E-commerce, Instagram has a variety of interesting shoppable ad formats using product catalogs, such as collection ads.
