At sundown, “selling” is really just a matter of showing people that your business can make it/do it in a way that fits their needs more uniquely than any other.

Remember what it was like when the teacher assigned a group project and no one knew how to lead it, what to do, or how to do it? Ashley would have been the one you were super relieved to see sitting across from you and on your team—not because she would do it FOR you, but because she would help you get it done in a way that helped you grow as a person.

Thirty years ago, psychologist and Stanford University professor, Dr. Carol Dweck coined the term “growth mindset” to illustrate how people who believe they can become smarter through effort actually do just that.

A brand is more than just a logo, a combination of colors, or an image.

A strong brand mirrors everything you stand for: from the reason you built your business to what you provide to clients and customers (and every new hire or bit of swag in between).

That’s why talking about our brand at Growth is a noteworthy conversation—especially during our four year anniversary.

For us, it’s personal.

Rejuvenate your team, create your brand, and grow your business in the process.

Right, this minute, there are 1.3 billion (with a capital B) Instagram users, and 81% are using the platform to research businesses and brands.

That’s a lot of opportunity to delight even more people with what you have to offer the world. (Look at that! The HubSpot Flywheel works everywhere).

If the phrase “Instagram for Business” sounds a little intimidating and conjures ideas of highly curated, sharp images and infographics that look expensive, we get it. 

We remember that feeling, so we put together this guide to show you that it’s actually a lot easier than it looks for a number of reasons.

The most important one? It's FUN, and when something is fun, it’s not really working at all—especially if you follow a content framework that fits your business, involves your team, and evolves your brand over time.

Here’s a little secret: because Instagram looks like a website no matter what, it’s always going to look fantastic with minimal effort—especially with Instagram’s built-in tools in Reels, Stories, and Live—so just play! 

All the best play has a dash of order, and we’ve discovered that alternating our posts for balance and structure helps us stay focused without having to think too much about what type of content we’re going to post from day to day.
