1. The birth of Instagram
Instagram launched in 2011 and changed the social media landscape. The photo-sharing platform changed how people interacted and how the marketing world worked. All of a sudden, content, brands, personalities and personas were re-evaluated through an image-first lens. With the birth of Instagram Stories, the popularity of the app Snapchat decreased and the need to share our real time activities and the odd desire to view what other people are doing throughout their day became a unique reality and truth for many of us.
