Getting Started

Instagram stories were first introduced in 2016, to combat the popularity of Snapchat’s fleeting stories feature! The idea of self-destructing or temporary content on social media caught on and the popularity of Instagram stories have since skyrocketed – with more than 500 million daily active users for this feature alone!
Naturally, with such a large captive audience, Instagram Stories have also since evolved into a great platform for sponsored opportunities since 2017! Instagram stories ads also known as sponsored stories, essentially allow businesses and brands to insert their messaging into newsfeeds worldwide. 

What is an Instagram Sponsored Story?

An Instagram sponsored story is simply an ad that is inserted into your regular stories feed between organic user stories from your friends. Unsuspecting right? The format is consistent with organic Instagram stories so that customers do not get the sense that they are being marketed to so overtly. 
If it happens to capture the attention of your customer, they can easily swipe up to be brought to a landing page of your choice for more details.
