Why IGTV to announce Social PR Secrets Dropped on Amazon?
When a social network releases new features such as Instagram IGTV, it's typically the easiest and best time to get the full exposure and reach benefits. Instagram just surpassed 1 billion user and is the fastest growing social network in history.
“The timing of Social PR Secrets 4th edition dropping on Amazon and Instagram launching IGTV happened the same week,” Buyer said. “That’s total Social PR karma!”

Delmondo agency owner Nick Cicero is a coveted source in Social PR Secrets. Here’s what he says:
IGTV is Instagram’s new app for watching long-form, vertical video. Anyone can create videos, and they start playing the second you pull up the app. These videos can be a lot longer than your Instagram Videos and Stories, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Since we started measuring Instagram Videos and Stories last summer, we know people have an appetite for longer video on IG. Here is how to measure those IGTV videos.
Stats on Vertical Video Growth
- Facebook garnered 8 billion video views per day and started supporting native vertical video
- Periscope live broadcasts are measured in years watched – with 110 years worth of video watched per day, mainly in the vertical format
- Instagram has 300 million daily active users and was an early adopter of vertical video
- Filming in vertical format straight from a mobile phone is natural for content creators. This has contributed to Snapchat’s rapid growth and the even faster adoption of Stories and live streaming on Instagram.
Remember When Vertical was Out?
Horizontal is so 2015. Check out this YouTube video complaining about vertical video.
Hello Vertical.
Today IGTV is a destination for anyone to upload vertical videos through Instagram’s app or the web. With ONE BILLION monthly active users to consume videos, these new IGTV videos can range from 15 seconds to 60 minutes long, and will be sure to push the time spent watching video much higher than it already is.
In the IGTV hub, viewers will be able to swipe through a variety of longer-form videos, or swipe up to visit a Browse tab of personally recommend videos, popular videos, creators they’re following, and the option to continue watching previously started videos.
