Instagram Rolls Out Three New Business Tools for Brands

Instagram on Thursday announced three new business tools to help brands build their following on the social network: Account insights, Ad insights, and Ad staging.

Instagram says the dashboards are a response to brands asking for more insight into how users engage with and respond to their photos and videos.
