instagram updates

Show Notes:

1. This week on The Sip: Instagram is adding a Carousel feature to Reels (and it’s giving us deja-vu), Instagram is also limiting hashtags and YouTube mobile studio got some good updates. 
2. First up: The People’s Choice Awards had some interesting moments. Our thoughts on TikTokers going to award shows, Adam Sandler’s speech and more. 
3. Next up, Walmart is acquiring Vizio TV and their operating system. It’s a fascinating move as Walmart continues to step into the advertising space. 
4. And finally, were you even on the internet this week if you didn’t fall into the lore of the 52-part series? Why did this content perform so well?

That’s all for this week’s tea. We’ll be back next week with a new episode.

3. First up, creator news accounts are surpassing traditional media. What could this mean for legacy media and journalistic integrity?
4. Next up, luxury brands are continuing to pivot to athletic partnerships. We break down Tiffany’s partnership with the Shanghai Marathon. 
5. Speaking of marathons, the New York Marathon happened this weekend and users are taking to social media to chat about celebrity times. But our favorite moment? Frida Baby’s celebration of moms.

Why is no one seeing your Instagram posts on the feed?

The answer is actually very obvious.

But until you hear it from the Head of Instagram himself, Adam Mosseri, it seems like a guess you can't fully depend on.

So here is a breakdown of a podcast Adam was recently on where he broke down the stats of where everyone is spending their time on Instagram.

On Instagram, the little blue check mark has always been seen as a symbol of status. Until now. A new program called Meta Verified was recently rolled out and it’s causing big shifts in the online community. Now, for $14.99 per month, anyone can have the blue check mark next to their name. What does that mean for stylists? Should you invest in Meta Verified? I’m going through all of the pros and cons along with misconceptions surrounding this roll out in this weeks episode.

First, we’re covering the list of perks Instagram is claiming come with Meta Verified. I’m touching on the topic of engagement and how having a blue check mark might actually work against smaller creators in the long run on that front. But I explain why I think Meta Verified might be really beneficial for huge accounts that are often subject to fake copy cats. At the end of the daya, the decision to invest in Meta Verified will be largely dependent on your goals. If you’re a small business looking to gain the trust of your local community, i’m hoping options like two-step authorization will still be an option in the future. But if you’re a large creator hoping to stave off spam accounts, Meta Verified might be exactly what you need. Listen to learn what my approach to the Meta Verified madness will be. 

In this Episode, I Cover: 

• Will MetaVerified increase your engagement?
• The actual benefits of MetaVerified 
• What will happen to two-step verification? 
• Why I think a blue check mark might work against you 
• My predictions for what might happen with MetaVerified in the future

Show Notes:

1. This week Arcade’s social media interns are taking over Tea for Lunch! Meet Addi and Nya.
2. A first sip: Instagram had a major glitch this week that acts as a reminder to all marketers and creators; diversify your marketing channels! 
3. Today’s hot tea: Elon Musk officially owns Twitter. What does this mean for the future of the platform? We dive into subscription models, a “pay to play” model and who the changes will benefit. 
4. Finishing up with a palette cleanser, we need to talk about celebrity Halloween costumes. Addi and Nya talk about their favorite looks. 

That’s all for this week’s tea. We’ll be back next week with a new episode.

Show Notes:

1. Today’s show is co-hosted by Mitzi and Mikenna! Before we dive into the tea, we talk about Halloween costumes we won’t be doing this year and Arcade Studio’s recent experience getting a personal shopping night at Kotn (thank you, Kotn)! 
2. First up: Instagram has new updates – and before you panic, they’re actually good! We talk about Instagram’s new scheduling feature and updated privacy settings. 
3. Today’s hot tea: Should brands be responding to Kanye’s recent behavior online? How can we better support marginalized communities as marketers?
4. Finally, there’s a new app sweeping through highschools in the US and it’s surprisingly not toxic. Would we give it a shot?

That’s all for this week’s tea. We’ll be back next week with a new episode.

Show Notes:

1. Before the tea: Follow Arcade Studios on YouTube to watch Tea for Lunch replays this fall!
2. It’s Mitzi’s last episode before her maternity leave! She serves Mike some tips for keeping the show spicy while she’s away.
3. Today’s hot tea: Kim and Pete are over! The news conveniently dropped the same day Khloe and Tristan’s new baby was born… Coincidence? Or orchestrated drama?
4. Next up: Instagram dives further into NFTs with new features and a free educational series on their @creators page. We speculate on what the future holds for NFTs.
5. Finally, the GOAT, Serena Williams, has announced that she is evolving away from tennis to focus on growing her family. With an amazing venture capital business on the go, we know she’ll excel in this new journey.

That’s all for this week’s tea. We’ll be back next week with a new episode.

Show Notes:

1. Meet Vern: Arcade’s social video producer! Vern shares her experience visiting Calgary and discovering that it isn’t *completely* flat. 
2. Nothing tastes as good as a successful campaign feels. Unfortunately for Diet Coke’s new creative director, Kate Moss, she won’t know that feeling. Mitzi and Vern weigh in on the brand’s recent campaign and missed opportunities. 
3. Today’s hot tea: Is Mosseri gaslighting us? With an inundation of new features over the past few months, users are taking to the platform to say they’ve had enough. Even Kim and Kylie have joined in. We share our thoughts. 
4. Finally, Glossier is making headlines after announcing their first ever retail partnership with Sephora. But, is it too late?

That’s all for this week’s tea. We’ll be back next week with a new episode.

Show Notes:

1. The tea is hot this week. Before we dive into our main stories we touch on Emmy nominations, Kris Jenner’s Masterclass and Khloe Kardashian’s baby news. 
2. A first sip: Instagram launched two new features this past week. We’re celebrating being able to finally schedule Reels and are confused about Notes. 
3. Today’s hot tea: Elon Musk is officially trying to back out of the Twitter deal. With claims on both sides for misconduct, this deal is starting to feel like a bad divorce. 
4. Finally, LimeWire is back, but not in the way you remember. LimeWire relaunched last week as an NFT marketplace for art and entertainment with an initial focus on music. Something they will be doing differently is allowing buyers to use credit cards instead of crypto. 

That’s all for this week’s tea. We’ll be back next week with a new episode.

Show Notes:

1. Catch up with Mike and Mitzi while talking tea (flavors). 
2. A first sip: Meme page admins have had it. They’re looking for greater support on a platform that favors original content and creators. They’ll be protesting on July 23rd at the aptly named “Instarrection” in NYC. 
3. Today’s hot tea: Instagram adds a new age verification process for users under 18. The process includes ID uploads, social vouching and a selfie sent to the age verification tool @getyoti. Is the move from the goodness of their hearts or a ploy for future marketing efforts?
4. Finally, things got spicy on Hot Wings’ latest episode as guest, Khloe Kardashian, got flirty with host Sean Evans. Do we ship it?

That’s all for this week’s tea. We’ll be back next week with a new episode.

Show Notes:

1. Meet Mikenna! The newest member of the Arcade social team. We catch up on her first two weeks at Arcade Studios. 
2. A first sip: Beyoncé has dropped her first new single in 6 years (!!), Break My Soul. A serious vibe shift away from hustle culture, we’re officially naming it the song of the summer. 
3. Today’s hot tea: Daily Harvest is in a major scandal following allegations of food poisoning, severe liver damage and even gallbladder removals from people who ate their French Lentil + Leek Crumbles. People are reporting enormous hospital bills and little communication from Daily Harvest. What could Daily Harvest do differently? And, will they recover from this?
4. Last, Meta is launching a series of new creator monetization tools to help keep creators on their platforms. We explore the new features and talk about if it’s enough to help them compete with newer platforms like TikTok. 

That’s all for this week’s tea. We’ll be back next week with a new episode.

1. Before the tea: We’re hiring! Check out the open positions at Arcade Studios by visiting https://www.arcadearcade.ca/careers.
2. A first sip: It’s Adam Mosseri’s world, and we’re just living in it. The head of Instagram took to the app (again) to announce new features for your profile and Reels. 
3. Finally, a billionaire does something good. Mark Cuban has opened an online pharmacy in the US to slash pharmaceutical prices. Cuban’s goal is to disrupt the pharmaceutical industry that’s known to mark prices up over 100% on life-saving medications. 
4. Last, the Queen has the world’s sweetest tea party with Paddington Bear. After 70 years on the throne, the Queen shows she’s still got her sense of humor in this cute sketch.

That’s all for this week’s tea. We’ll be back next week with a new episode.

Mackenzie and Ben talk about TikTok throwing shade at Instagram influencers this past week along with Instagram's newest updates, including its new feed that we’re not that excited about. We dive deep into what it means to be "authentic" online and why TikTok believes Instagram influencers just aren't that authentic. Yikes.

Apologies for some of the sound quality of this episode. The internet cuts out in a few spots, but we hope you can forgive us!
