Episode 364: Instagram Advertising Secrets: How to Use a New(ish) Type of Ad to Drive Better Leads

You know that building your Instagram following will help your business, but how does advertising really work on this platform?

In today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down with one of their most popular repeat guests, Angela Ponsford, Social Cosmonaut of Stellar Communication at Tier 11, to talk about Instagram ads. “Instagram is a tough nut to crack from a paid media standpoint,” Angela says. Of all the social channels out there, it’s often hardest to find good information about Instagram advertising—what’s working and what isn’t. But the good news is that Angela is an expert. She explains the conversion lead ads that Tier 11 has been testing and gives us the pros and cons and everything in between.

Listen in to see whether or not conversion lead ads are the right fit for your business.
