Instagram for Business

4 replies
Hello!
I wanted to ask, how do businesses go about setting up an Instagram account?

Here is the situation. We have a CEO/President of the company, but he does not handle any of our social media as he is busy managing the company. Myself and my supervisor (our digital director) manage the FB and Twitter accounts.

Is there a way to set up the Instagram account on the CEO's Iphone and have it so someone else (presumably me) can manage it?

I would set it up on my phone, but it does not seem like a good idea to have it on my phone. I may or may not be in the company in the years to come, our CEO will always be the owner of the business and I feel like it is best to link the account to this email/Iphone.

We have an email that we use for our other social media accounts. I am just confused since it has to be on someones mobile phone.

How do corporations manage their Instagram account? Is the McDonald's account really just set up on the social media person's phone? Is there a way to create a "shared" account that is link to the CEO, but manageable by someone else (presumably me).

Thanks in advance!

    Another would be to put another smartphone on the company's cell phone plan or the ceo and have it be a work phone or dedicated social media controller. It would be owned by said company / ceo.

      I agree, have your own dedicated device for this one.. But make it limited access to only those who are in authority.. To prevent future problems..

    Create or download app in your android, smartphones or app store. This app is available to any mobile devices, From there you can create account and automatically create posts by taking pictures and creating your own sales. Instagram really helps a lot especially for product endorsements and engagements

    What famous marketers do,is they just go with millions of followers and thousand of account and start tracking niche wise audiences from there.
