Instagram has recently announced the rebranding of branded content ads as partnership ads, providing new opportunities for brands and creators to collaborate on advertising efforts. Partnership ads allow for an extension of content originating from a creator’s or partner’s account, making broader collaboration possible.
With the updated advertising format, advertisers can promote a wider range of organic Instagram content, including branded content with the paid partnership label, Instagram Collab posts, @mentions, people tags, product tags, and other content not featuring the paid partnership label. Advertisers can also create new partnership ads in Ads Manager without needing an existing post. Instagram is updating permissions to make partnership ads more user-friendly.
According to Instagram, partnership ads are the most efficient and transparent method for advertisers and partners to collaborate on advertising campaigns. Early testing suggests that campaigns combining partnership ads with business-as-usual (BAU) ads result in 53% higher click-through rates, 19% lower cost per actions, and a 99% probability of outperforming BAU ads on their own.
