New IG Features: Quiet Posts, Grid Shake-up, More

To celebrate Instagram’s 15th anniversary, the platform is rolling out new features and initiatives to stimulate creativity while reducing performance anxiety (aka cringe).

✨ New features:

  • Trial Reels for all: As we covered last week, creators can now test Reels with non-followers first, making it easier to experiment. 40% post more often, and 80% of those saw increased reach.
  • Quiet posts: Now, you can post content to your profile without sending it to the feed.
  • Grid reordering: Hallelujah. Soon we’ll be able to rearrange profile posts.
  • Edits app upgrades: AI-powered tools like the new restyle feature are meant to help creators quickly change the look of videos.
  • Spotify integration in Notes: Users can share what they’re listening to directly in Notes.
  • RosalĆ­a font: A new font inspired by RosalĆ­a’s handwriting comes to Stories and Reels.
  • ā€œDraftsā€ program: Instagram will provide financial and collaborative support for emerging talent.
  • Creative campaign: Instagram is spotlighting creators like Tyler, the Creator and RosalĆ­a in a new film series about taking creative chances.

Share a Pepsi

Share a Pepsi

We all know ā€œShare a Coke.ā€ It’s an iconic campaign, and it’s making a comeback with Gen Z.

And Pepsi, which has dropped to the No. 4 spot behind Sprite, can’t beat ’em. So, they’re joining ’em.

ForgetĀ your best friend. Share a Pepsi with Pepsi’s best friend. That is, ā€œburgers,ā€ ā€œwings,ā€ and ā€œhot dogs.ā€

The campaign features limited-edition bottles, OOH, radio spots in key cities, and a social media giveaway encouraging fans to post what food they’d #ShareaPepsi with.

In tandem, the brand is continuing its ā€œCrashersā€ series—stunts where actors replace Cokes with Pepsis at cookouts and restaurants—to lean into the challenger energy.
