S05 EP25: Gearing Up Marketing Automation with Instagram Direct Messages
02 Jul 2020
In this episode, Kunle speaks with Rohan Sheth, the CEO and Co-Founder of Direct Heroes. Over the last five years, a tremendous amount of focus has been placed on the Messenger marketing platform built on Facebook’s messaging functionality. As Facebook gradually rolls out an amalgamated messaging platform that integrates messaging on Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, I felt the need to interview an expert on Instagram DM marketing. Rohan as the Founder of a dedicated Instagram messaging CRM had a deep understanding of how engagement can be nurtured and honed within the Instagram direct messaging eco-system. Rohan explains how Instagram DMs work, why not is the time to aggressively build your Instagram messaging list, why open rates sit at +85% and he explains a viral loop flow that is guaranteed to maximise brand reach and engagement on Instagram. ----------- SPONSORS: This episode is brought to you by: Klaviyo This episode is brought to you by Klaviyo – a growth marketing platform that powers over 25,000 online businesses.
