Instagram Stories have become the best way for a brand to rapidly connect with their audience.

The current climate has seen a huge spike in social media usage with brands seeing an increased need to create new and exciting content regularly. However, brands are slowly starting to understand that trying to push products hard will inevitably push consumers away rather than keep them.
