9 Instagram post & story ideas

For this issue, it’s a nice listicle of ideas for your Instagram account. Recently, I volunteered for the Good Food Awards judging setup (not judging) for coffee. In one day, we brewed something like 250+ samples for four teams of judges. I also went to a local plant swap that was *packed* with people and came away with two plants on my wishlist (photo below)! For the next issue, I’ll be publishing a fun Q&A with a barista who has garnered a big TikTok following. Hope you all enjoy the issue!

Facebook added: “send message” CTA in Stories ads and added to its lineup of interactive ads for the holiday season. It published a new report on messaging growth.

Twitter added: DM search for iOS, filtered DMs from people you don’t follow, swipeable lists, and option to hide replies. The network also released a marketing playbook for brands (link goes to a summary, you’ll need to enter an email to get the full playbook).

Instagram added: branded partner tag to IGTV. The network is testing: product launch reminders for customers who ask to be reminded when a company launches a new product and hiding like counts.

An update from my container garden!
At the recent plant swap, I got really lucky and obtained a rooted portion of the rare Raven ZZ. As it gets older, the leaves will become a dark green, almost black, hue.
