How Top Brands Are Using Instagram [Study]

40% of Leading Brands Are Now Active on Instagram

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words. But for the big brands who are already engaging with Instagram’s 80-million users, it might be more fitting to say a picture’s worth a thousand fans.

Instagram’s consumer adoption has been well documented, but how have brands tapped into the hot mobile photo sharing service? And just as importantly, what are brands that have decided to hold off really missing out on?

These are the questions we set out to answer with our first Instagram study. Like our Google+ study, we used the Interbrand 100 list to gauge adoption rates amongst leading brands. The data and analysis in this study comes from our new Instagram analytics and reporting.

The idea of visualization of the information is genius in it’s origin! Hundreds of words can be placed in one pic. And using instagram is like making a photo essay.

I think it would be interesting to see how photos posted to FB/Twitter fare versus Instagram photos. My guess is the FB/Twitter photos would have way more interaction. The only reason Instagram does so well is because of integration with social media.

Should brands have really have to use Instagram? There’s far too much
emphasis on having to be seen using the latest ‘flavour of the month’.
