Struggling with getting engagement on your Instagram posts? Wanting tips to make your life easier? Well Instagram’s new updates have done just that to help with creative editing and reach. Here’s all you need to know!

Instagram now lets users tag multiple accounts inside of a single story mention sticker. This doesn’t just help with reach, but it keeps stories looking clean and uncluttered the running group campaigns, tagging partners or sharing event credits.
Using these multi-mention stickers for event coverage or influencer roundups keeps visuals tidy, whilst giving credit where it’s due.

Instagram head, Adam Mosseri, confirmed that Collab Posts perform better when the account with the larger following creates and sends the original invite. This means that Instagram’s system relies on the primary creators account to decide how far to spread the post.
Whenever partnering with influencers or brands, make sure the bigger account sends the collaboration invite.

Instagram highlighted that adding unique text snippets across different carousel slides helps improve search discovery and keeps people reading.
It helps break up long messages across multiple slides to stop caption fatigue and keeps the users sliding through the content.
By turning your step-by-step guides or case studies into multi-slide carousels with short explanations directly on the slide allows for that curiosity reading.

Instagram shared a simple 5 step checklist for building winning video content:

1. Grab attention in the first 2-seconds
2. Edit videos to match the audio beat
3. Use visual text to underline key points
4. End with a clear CTA
5. Check analytics to see what worked
Sticking to a clear structure keeps videos sharp, holds audiences attention and pleases the feed algorithm. Using these steps across the video production process drives real responses.

Instagram introduced ‘First Draft’, an automated workflow designed to quickly assemble a rough-cut edit of a reel so creators don’t have to start from a blank timeline. This eliminates the initial barrier to video editing and helps teams produce initial concepts quicker than ever before.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day, and our EDI Committee wanted to do something simple yet meaningful: send a little kindness across 💛

We wanted to find a way to make our people feel seen and appreciated.
So we invited team members to submit personal notes for their colleagues—ensuring every message was authentic, thoughtful, and came straight from someone who wanted to uplift them. Here are a couple of the messages.

Small acts of connection can make a massive difference and today was all about putting genuine smiles on faces and reminding everyone that they are valued.
The response we have had from the staff has been the best part 😍

Searching for a new restaurant used to mean a Google search.
Now, consumers are using social media platforms to find that information. 📲✨

Users aren't just looking for static text links and top 10 lists anymore—they want real human experiences, honest reviews, and visual proof before they make a decision.

Social search isn't just a trend; it’s the new front door to discovery.
Is your brand showing up where your audience is actually searching?

What an incredible turnout at our CTI Digital Her Summer Social with Manchester Digital ! ⚡️

We came together to discuss how AI is reshaping roles for women in tech. The biggest takeaway? AI isn't replacing human talent—it's elevating strategic thinking, creativity, and the empathetic leadership women bring to the industry.

Big thanks to our speakers; Katie Livingstone, Alison Hover & Kat Dixon and our host of the evening Betty Burrell.
