In a study conducted for Facebook, we looked into what makes an effective Instagram Story ad. Our research was based on 30 US Instagram Stories ads from consumer-packaged goods (CPG) companies. We studied people’s responses to these Instagram ads to assess their effectiveness. First, we determined whether the Instagram Story had been noticed, viewed and recalled (ad breakthrough); and secondly, whether it had driven a reaction and action (ad response). Our study highlighted five key factors which typically help Instagram Stories adverts capture people’s attention and drive business results. As revealed in another study conducted for Facebook, several of these factors can also improve the effectiveness of Facebook and Instagram video ads for mobile feeds.
