Implications for Marketers: 

It seems that after celebrating its 10th birthday, Instagram focuses on innovating photo and video sharing. The introduction of live shopping, QR codes, Reels, and Spark AR studio makes the platform more ideal for digital markets. Marketers should celebrate holidays with equal passion. By launching promotions on every season, including Diwali, they can better connect to the audience and promote diversity and inclusion.
