How to Maximize IGTV for Your Brand

Comments

Last June, Instagram just launched its new addition to their long list of features – the IGTV.

IGTV is Instagram’s long-video format platform that allows creators to upload up to one hour of video on their “channel” (as they call it). Currently, this is only available to select creators – those who have IG accounts with a huge following (Selena Gomez, Kim K, Kevin Hart, and Lele Pons to name a few).

Both creators and audience can access IGTV by tapping on the orange TV button in the app, or download a stand-alone IGTV app.

Once you click the button, it will instantly play content from people you follow or what the algorithm thinks that you would like based on the accounts you follow and your view behavior.

Anything is now possible with Instagram with this TV feature. And while it is still a young one, it would be best to prepare to dive into the bigger picture and plan out on how you can maximize IGTV for your brand.
