This is a real opportunity for those looking to learn more about social commerce, creator content strategy and Instagram advertising,” said Gord Ray, Brand Development Lead at Instagram.
“Small businesses have an unprecedented opportunity to re-shape the way people engage with, and buy from their brands – we want to make sure they seize it. We hope this mentorship programme will bring ambitious small businesses together, encourage creativity, and help ‘the nation of shopkeepers’ accomplish great things in the run up to the holiday period, and beyond.”
