Instagram’s CEO Adam Mosseri realized that while YouTube and TikTok have managed to bring out new talent and showcase it to the public very well Instagram is not the best platform for emerging creators.
The CEO believes that users can sort of just make it on platforms like YouTube and TikTok and in the last two years an entire generation of new internet celebrities emerged out of TikTok and YouTube. Adam further mentioned that Instagram lacked in this department and could learn new ways as to how they can help new creators on their application break out fast hence its leader ship is trying to find ways through which they can help emerging creators rise.
Both Mark Zuckerberg and Adam Mosseri conducted a Live Chat on Instagram last week to discuss the next base for creator economy and what's next for Instagram.
Adam in his conversation said that he believes that Instagram by far has done better in creating value for already established creators on the application than any other social media platform however it lacks this when it comes to new and emerging content creators on the application and that is what the company is trying to focus towards now.
The CEOs said that almost all their new work will solely be dependent on the small creators who are the next generation of creators and that the work is rooted in two main areas which are distribution and monetization.
Jackson Williams, a member of Instagram's strategic partnerships in an interview said the company’s goal is to create and launch better tools for creators to help them with their content and at the same time help them earn a better earning through the content they make on their platform.
Adam said that the newly launched Reels feature was the first step towards this cause as Reels have showed better results for creators and have helped them reach a wider audience compared to their audience reach from a standard feed post or Story.
From their survey Instagram did found out that Reels have shown improvements in audience growth for creators as prior to the reach from Reels the growth to some new and small content creators seemed static.
Adam Mosseri said that he wants to bring what Instagram is doing with Reels to the rest of the app but that does not mean that he is planning on converting the whole of Instagram’s feed to look like Reels but what he means by this is that he will follow the same principle that he did for Reels. For creators to have a wider reach and experience better audience growth.
The Reels feature is just the first step of the staircase and the company has a lot of plans which will help small creators grow.
Apart from this the tech giant on its @Creators page which helps in building a new stage to showcase emerging and successful talent. On the creators page Tiffany Matloob, who is the member of the strategic partnerships team, conducts a "Reels Star Search, where she speaks about several small creators who got their big hits through Reels.
The series is also a way to help these creators be discovered by their peers, brands, and other entities.
This looks like a good news for small and new creators on the platform as Instagram will soon be launching features which will help them grow and showcase their talent and this is definitely a great step by the tech giant.
