CREATIVE ACTIVITIES TO ENCOURAGE INTERACTION IN THE INSTAGRAM
Whenever a brand asks us to design a publication for your social network, we always start by thinking about 3 important axes to make it unique:
- Your target audience.
- Your brand.
- Your objective to communicate..
We always think about the target audience before presenting a creativity, because although we like to design for ourselves (because we are passionate about always doing things well and in a different way and we are self-enthusiastic about good ideas) we always set as a premise: will they like them? Making a publication aimed at them is always the first selection criterion for any idea. Users and followers of that brand should like it, they should enjoy it, find it useful or relevant to participate.
As a second selection criterion when generating content ideas for a brand on Instagram, after thinking about the target audience, it is necessary to think about the brand. Not only in the brand guidelines or guidelines of your brand manual. corporate identity,
but in its purposes, values, products and in its background, as each publication is accompanied by a story, which is often told in isolation in a single publication and others (which we see this trend is increasing) is to take advantage of telling mini-stories in series, usually in blocks of 3 due to the linear layout of the instagram feed or in series of 5 stories in a row.
Once we have analysed the technical parameters of the brand execution: fonts, colours, verbal identity, brand equity, etc., we proceed to brainstorming for the next phase.
As in life, everything starts with a good plan.
These creatives that we share below are some samples that some clients have allowed us to publish as a portfolio of our work. If you are looking for a creative agency that will help you not only to grow in social networks, but also to dynamise your content, do not hesitate to contact us contactar a Brandesign at any time.
As a last step before creating any branded content on social networks, establish a planning to define goals. Questions such as: What is the objective to communicate? What is the desired response the client is looking for? How are we going to measure success? What is the audience going to expect? What is it that really matters to them or what would they like?
Although there are no recipes for social engagement, a simple way to get your audience involved is to address current issues and trends that happen to them, concern them or entertain them.
From showing solidarity with examples of CSR, to competitions rewarding the best reactions with products or incentives, to simply connecting through creativity, wit, humour, solidarity, empathy or company culture.
