Digital Marketing - Study Notes:

Instagram Insights

Instagram and Snapchat advertising products have a variety of ways of reaching your target audience in a fun, creative way. Instagram ads integration with Facebook’s ad manager provides truly in-depth advertising options that cater to all your business needs.

With the opening of the Snapchat API, there are more opportunities for brands to invest in Snapchat ads. Snapchat advertising utilizes all components of the platform to insert ads. And finally, Snapchat ads can be found between Snaps, within Discover and even offline.

Analytics are key to this overall process and helps drive business decisions. Within this section we will cover the Instagram Insights tool, which is a tool available for Insights for Business that gleans key insights for marketers, looks at organic analytics, and looks at third party tools that deliver insights for companies to utilize their capabilities.
