Insta-Marketing in 2020
Strategies to aid your marketing
Creating a full-fledged campaign is tedious. The process of perfectly executing that campaign can take months. And while there are benefits to having every detail mapped, it leaves very little room for change if that well-planned campaign doesn’t resonate with the audience the way you’d hoped.

Micro-campaigns
Micro-campaigns are much like creating a human being. From conception to expiration, the options are endless. You start with a goal, brainstorm ideas, and try one. If you nail it, your campaign continues in that vein. If not, you try something else. It’s low-risk, high reward.
