You wanted it. We 3D printed it. 🍫👜

After the internet went wild for the Kinder Bueno Bag Charm, we knew we couldn’t stop there. So we did what any reasonable social-first team would do:

We made it happen. For real.

Cue the masking tape, the glue guns, and the slightly melty prototypes. What started as a reactive moment turned into a full blown physical piece of content and a reminder that the best ideas come from listening, testing, and letting your audience lead the way.

Big shoutout to the team who made this happen.
And yes – it’s as satisfying as it looks.

Here’s a look at the final assets 🤤

The days of still content and 1:1 posts are over.

Two months ago Instagram announced that all new video posts shorter than 15 minutes will now be shared as Reels. This means all videos uploaded will now be shared full screen and have access to the Reels editing tools. In short, Instagram has begun optimising the platform towards a full-screen video viewing experience.

So what does this mean for your Instagram strategy? 🤔

Join us for our latest virtual event at 10am on Thursday 20th October as we explore:

🏞️ The Landscape: Why is Instagram prioritising Reels and what it means for brands
