REELS TRENDS TO TEXT THE GROUP CHAT
Lots of SIMPLE TRENDS to GET CREATIVE AND ELEVATE YOUR CONTENT this week!
Even though the resident IG sh*t disturber (just kidding Adam Mosseri, we love you!) announced that they're holding back on rolling out more TikTok-inspired features since Kim and Kylie shared a post asking to 'make Instagram Instagram again' , we know that reels still aren't going anywhere. Thus, we are once again rounding up this week's hottest trends for you! Take the time to make these simple, easy-to-edit (and even easier to recreate) reels with your brand's own spin on things. Get creative or follow some inspo from the audio page on each of these trends. We can't wait to see what you come up with, if you recreate any of these, give us a tag on the 'gram @timeisnowmarketing so we can hype you up! ***Hot tip: Click on the reel image to head over to the inspo! Once there, click the audio and save it, so you can easily find it again when you want to use it for your own content***
POV: YOU’RE TEXTING THE GROUP CHAT
This is an extremely easy trend to hop on so we recommend doing it ASAP! All you need to do is make it look like you’re texting something EXTREMELY important. Make sure you leave enough room above your head to add the text to give context to your audience!
This is the easiest one in the bunch so if you are going to take advantage of any of these trends, this might be the one! If you're not that into showing your face this is a great one because you're pretty hidden! Share an educational tip, something funny your audience will lol at, or take this opportunity to share your pet and what you think they'd message you 👀
#TimeTip: Place your phone on a flat surface and move your head into the frame then bring your fingers to the camera to make it look like you’re screen recording yourself texting!

WATCH THIS 👀
Alright, alright, alright, this is an extremely easy video to recreate and apply to your own brand – and you don't need to be in front of the camera dancing if you don't want to be!
Add some text about something people think you can't do, or doubt the possibility of (myth, common objections, etc.), and expand upon how you can prove them wrong in the caption! You could also do a before and after shot of your product/branding/whatever else, featuring where it started versus where it's at now.
