Instagram partners with six Canadian brands, rolls out first batch of ads

We couldn’t avoid it any longer. Ads are heading your way on Instagram any day soon. The social media platform has partnered with six Canadian brands for the launch, including HBC, Air Canada, Target Canada, Travel Alberta, Sport Chek, and Mercedes Benz.

Instagram says they plan to roll out ads in a slow and “carefully controlled” way while taking feedback from its community. They said they plan on delivering a small number of high-quality photos and videos from brands that are already part of the Instagram community.
