Instagram is a mobile-based social media platform that allows users to upload photo and video content that other users can interact with. Instagram has long been a staple on most people’s mobile devices since its inception in 2010, and is now host to thousands of internet celebrities and influencers. A powerful digital marketing tool indeed. Over the years there has been much controversy surrounding Instagram’s policy changes relating to its algorithm for organically promoting content.
