Beware: bad marketing on Instagram gets noticed—and called out.

Beware: bad marketing on Instagram gets noticed—and called out. The Verge has accused Instagram of getting lazy about ad quality, after spotting a series of “mind-numbingly boring iPhone 6S ad.” Those images’ crime? Looking more like traditional ads than authentic photographs, something we’ve warned brands against in the past. Perfectly staged ads feel out of place on the platform, and anything that gives off a “stock” feeling could be the kiss of death when it comes to appealing to Millennial consumers. (The Verge)
