Hi lads & ladies,

I was wondering how many use Instagram for startup branding or personal branding. How is the engagement and what are the struggles.

Curious to see your responses.

Yeah, I've used it for companies in the past (a major utility, plastic surgeons, and healthcare businesses).

Main struggle was getting valuable engagement and visual assets. I suggest getting a library of content and clear strategy before you begin.

For some, yes. It helps to have a budget for paid ads on IG though.
