Any brand not leveraging Instagram is losing out

This edition's insight

Instagram is winning at engagement.

In a recent study on the American Auto industry, we found that In 2014, Instagram equalled Facebook in terms of interactions per post for US auto brands. In 2016, Instagram generated 2.5 times the interactions per post than Facebook and Twitter combined. Any brand that is not leveraging the potential of Instagram right now is losing out.
