Pro Tips for Instagram Ads
Get the most out of your Instagram ad campaigns with these expert tips.
Lead with movement in the first frame
Instagram's feed auto-plays video without sound. Starting with motion — a zoom, a swipe animation, or kinetic text — signals that the post is a video and earns the initial pause that leads to engagement.
Use native Reels creative conventions
Ads that feel like organic Reels outperform polished studio content on Instagram. Use trending audio cues, text overlays, and quick cuts. AdCreate's Reels templates are built to match the native look and feel.
Keep the safe zone for Stories and Reels
Instagram overlays a profile icon, caption text, and CTA button on the bottom 250 pixels of Stories and Reels. Keep essential visuals and text within the center 1080 x 1420 safe area to avoid being covered.
Pair carousel ads with sequential storytelling
Carousel ads get 1.4x more reach than single-image posts. Use each card to advance a narrative: problem, agitate, solution, proof, CTA. AdCreate lets you generate each carousel frame as a short video clip.
Leverage user-generated content aesthetics
Instagram users respond 2.4x better to UGC-style creative than branded studio ads. Use AdCreate's avatar videos with casual framing and direct-to-camera delivery to replicate the authenticity of real customer testimonials.
