The main factor when it comes to measuring engagement rates on Instagram is the number of people that interact with your Instagram account. Instagram camera effects are distributed throughout Instagram in a unique way with minimal competition. If your filter gains initial traction in its first days available, the Instagram algorithm will push it to your followers and they will find it organically in their camera reel. When they share their filter on their story that counts as a share of your content. Additionally, anyone who sees one of your followers stories using your filter will count towards an impression of your account. You could see how this could boost engagement if your filter gains traction and many people are sharing it daily.

Yes! When filters are uploaded to an Instagram account a filter feed is created. This is found beside tagged posts on an Instagram page and denoted by a smiley face. Tap on this smiley face to find effects that the page has posted. Alternatively, you can access camera effects from your Instagram camera, or find the effect gallery by scrolling all the way to the right of filters in your camera and tapping the “Browse Effects” button. For more information and examples, please refer to our blog post on this subject.

Companies of all scales are using filters and GIFs in branding initiatives. Nike, Gucci, Coca-Cola, and Kylie Cosmetics are some examples of household names tapping into these powerful assets.

Augmented Reality has been around for decades but has just been integrated into Facebook and Instagram! Meaning that this is a new emerging market and is the most undersaturated area in terms of content on both platforms.
