Insta Ads

 Have you ever been going through your phone and seeing ads that pop up randomly after you just have been thinking or talking about them? I have also had the same thing happen to me. The ads you see on Instagram are called Instagram ads. Instagram is a huge way for companies to advertise their products and services. It is actually the second most used platform for advertising.

Similar to Facebook the Instagram ads are set up the same way. You need to establish an audience. Many components are used to establish an audience such as location, demographics, and interests. The location means that you want to target people that are in the same approximate location as you, the advertiser, or stores of your product, Demographics are categories such as age and gender. You also want to target people that have interests that align with your product. There are also many ways you can set up an Instagram ad with different formats, You want to use a format that is appealing to the audience while also still informing of your product and service. 



In the future, I want to get into the social media field related to sports. I am sure I will have to make ads on different platforms and these tips can make it easier for me to layout an advertisement while giving me the foundation to do more things with these ads in the future. For example, if I was working for the Cleveland Browns and they want a chance to win tickets to the next game coming up an Instagram ad could be used. I would have to know which audiences to target and different formatting to get my message across. These are all things that could happen and I will need to be ready for them. An example away from sports could be that I am working for an Under Armour apparel store. If it was my job to advertise a new t-shirt that is being released I could use an Instagram ad tailored towards people that would buy that certain shirt. Instagram ads have many components and to get your message across you have to be detailed and cautious about what to say and how you deliver what you are trying to say.

    You mentioned all the different demographics that can be used for Instagram ads which really let you pin down a specific audience. When you advertise to give away tickets you could probably use the location demographic extensively. You don’t want to give tickets to someone who can’t come, but the ad wouldn’t be effective on enticing people far away to come. Keeping the ads targeted close to the event center will mean that people who have a lower barrier to entry will consider buying a ticket. When it is just the cost of a ticket instead of the cost of transport, a hotel room, and the ticket it is a lot easier to convince someone to make the purchase.

    Noah, I liked how you used examples for upcoming fields you want to pursue to show how media ads effect everyone. It's interesting because we see every day on our media platforms, brands we love promoting products. But personally I never realized how easy it was to start. Yes, it's difficult to find the exact time, day, and demographic to promote to, but over time trends will stay and data will show results. The media is ever changing and right now ads are important, so I wish you luck promoting brands with ads at your next job!

Thanksgiving Break

 Right about this time in the semester I really fellow students and I really start to get warn out of school. Schoolwork right around this time always heats up. Many of my classes are holding exams this week which puts on added stress with all of my other activities going on. What I really want and what my of my classmates want to come sooner is Thanksgiving Break. I know I am ready for it. Every day I wake up I am exhausted because I was up late doing homework the night before. I am also on football so the time where I could be doing homework and catching up on some sleep, I am at football and devote my time to that. Even though many students are not in athletics I can tell many of them are mentally drained. Many students are starting to not give sufficient effort to homework or exams anymore because they are just tired of it. I know I fall right into that category. These are a couple reasons why I am ready for Thanksgiving break. Having the opportunity to go home for a week and b...

Football is Over

 After days of practices, meetings, and games, it hurts to say the 2021 football season has come to a close. I know it hasn't necessarily been one of the better years this program has had but I loved every second of it. There really is nothing like going out with your brothers and playing 60 minutes of football, the game you love the most. If you haven't seen it already we lost in a devastating fashion. We lost on a hail mary ball in the endzone with 8 seconds left after driving down and scoring 30 seconds before that. That was the part that really stung. We, underclassmen, were doing everything in our power to try to send these seniors out on top and it just didn't work out. Now it is time to move on as much as it hurts. I am now a junior football-wise and the preparation for next season starts now. I definitely need to get to work this offseason. Last year we never really had an offseason. Since the Covid year moved everything to the spring we never really had any time of...

Friendsgiving

I had one of the best meals that I have had in a while last night. About twenty of my friends got together and had one big meal before we all went our separate ways for Thanksgiving break. The meal was especially good because it was prepared by one of my friend's mom. In the past, she has come up to campus to make us a home-cooked meal throughout the week and it is always so delicious, so I had very high expectations for this meal. It definitely did not disappoint.  This meal was a full Thanksgiving feast. Any food that you could have wanted on your Thanksgiving table was there. For the last couple of meals, I have been eating at the Wow Café here on campus and I was completely tired of it. So when my friend told me his mom was coming up, I was so excited. Our friend group definitely struggles with finding food to eat sometimes, so it is almost refreshing to not have to find something to eat. I am truly blessed with some of the best friends a guy could ask for. There aren't a l...
