What happens when Instagram recently turned the big 15? They celebrated with a bunch o’ new features of course!

Like…

🎂 Trial reels for all - as the name suggests, creators can now test Reels with non-followers first, making it easier to experiment. And the results are good - 80% of those doing it saw increased reach 🥳
🎂 Quiet posts - now you can post content to your profile without sending it to the feed. Shhhhh.
🎂 Grid reordering - sing it with me now - ‘Hallelujah’. Yup, pretty soon we’ll be able to rearrange profile posts.
🎂 IG post becomes searchable on Google - public posts from business + creator accounts are nowsearchable on Google. Why we love it? Cos it expands the reach of IG content beyond the app (hello increasie in visibility + engagement).
🎂 Edits - IG has launched a shiny and separate app called ‘Edits’ with spiffy (read: advanced) video editing features.
🎂 Reels got a 3 min glow up - uh huh - Reels can now be up to 3 minutes long + users can speed up Reels to 2x by tap tap tapping on the screen.

Need help implementing any of the above? Just holler ✌️

🫎 Canva Camp is coming back and to celebrate, here’s Neon Moose’s top 5 x Canva hacks 🫎

Okurrr! We all know Canva’s pre-made templates are a game-changer for the non designer in most of us.

NB tho: I’ma preface this by saying please use a designer for any logos or printable marketing materials as designers still trump Canva 👏

But for social media assets, presentations, postcards and the like? Canva is sweet!

So - 5 x Canva hacks [+ why you need to start using it like, yesterday!]

👌 Brand Kit is your bestie. Save your logo, brand colors, and fonts in Canva’s Brand Kit to keep everything looking on point and consistent. No more hunting for that exact shade of sage green! 😅😅

👌 Shortcut your life. Speed up your design process with these handy keyboard shortcuts:
T = Add text box
R = Add rectangle
C = Add circle
Shift + drag = Perfectly straight lines
Cmd/Ctrl + D = Duplicate like a pro
Now go and make a coffee with all the free time you have! 🥳

👌 Background remover = instant magic! Yup, you’ll be saying Photoshop whooo?! with Canva’s Background Remover. This cool feature lets you erase backgrounds with one click—perfect for product shots + polished social posts.

👌 Resize like a bawse. Need the same design in different sizes? Hit “Resize” (Canva Pro feature) and instantly adapt your Instagram post into a flyer, LinkedIn banner, or email header. No starting from scratch! 🙌

👌 Did someone say FREE stock photos? And not the dodgy 90s looking Shutterstock or iStock ones either! Yup, Canva has lotso free - and cool! - stock photos, videos + icons built right in! Just hit “Elements” and start searching. And don’t even get me started on the AI image generator where you can create your own images!

Anyhoo moral of the story? Canva rules.✌️

Let’s talk about the Grammys + THAT stunt 🎵🎤

For those that came in late - ol’ envelope pusher Kanye West (aka Ye) - showed us how to become the most Googled person on the planet by getting wifey Bianca (aka Kim Kardashian’s doppleganger) to drop her fur coat to reveal, well, NOTHING underneath.

Helloooo marketing stunt (to promote his clothing line Yeezy). It was a controversial move that turned heads + made headlines alright.

But are we down with such a stunt? Let’s break it down with a good ol’ fashion pros V cons list:

Ye(ah):

⚡️B is for buzz + brand recall - bold moves like this creates massive media buzz. And when your campaign makes headlines? Your brand is unforgettable.

⚡️ Breaking through the noise - in a world flooded with ordinary (read: SAFE) ads, shock value can cut through the clutter + get people talking.

⚡️ Google goes off - controversial tactics often drive Google searches, hits to website, social media shares, likes, and discussions—great for boosting visibility and, ultimately, sales.

Nahhh (ba boum!):

⚡️ Don’t hate, alienate - not everyone loves controversy. A quick scan across the net and a stunt like this can backfire by offending or alienating a significant part of your audience.

⚡️ Brand rep - when your marketing is too edgy, it might overshadow the product itself, leaving consumers wondering if it’s quality or just gimmickry. Oh and speaking of - unpopular opinion - I feel the Grammys and all the award shows are giving gimmick vibes - cue: Jade Smith with a castle on his head. A big LOL + WTF!)

⚡️ Sustainability - relying on shock value might work in the short term, but it may not build lasting customer loyalty if the product doesn’t stand on its own.

So, what’s the verdict? Genius branding or too wild? If you want my opinion (that nobody probs asked for 😆) - it was too stunt-y for me. Weigh in below 👇
