The users will now encounter posts from influencers that they do not follow—all thanks to the brands that you all religiously follow. As usual, you will be able to see "Paid partnership with" message below all these posts and "sponsored" above the post. This will be applied to the feed in the next few weeks and in the story in the coming months."Promoting content directly from an influencer’s handle inherently gives the post more authenticity than coming from a brand handle, and we’re seeing significantly higher engagement rates using this strategy." said Liat Weingarten, VP of Brand Communications, Old Navy in a statement.
