Every company expects great results from their Instagram campaigns and invests time, money and creativity into it. However, sometimes the results are truly terrible. Why is this? The following nine disastrous examples provide enough answers to this question and are an example of what to avoid in the world of digital marketing.
NBCTV
The photos on Instagram of this television network are characterized by their lack of editing and the simplicity of their angles. They also do not offer anything new to their audience, since in many cases they are replicas of images that can also be easily found online. Therefore, the company needs to create original and attractive content that invites the public to learn more about its events and broadcasts.
So flawless! ?#NBCxVF

Floyd Mayweather
Without a doubt, one of the most ostentatious accounts on Instagram is that of this controversial boxer. His constant photos and videos showing large amounts of money have generated bad reviews. It is normal that he enjoys his success, but such images, far from arousing envy, make more than one person think about the level of education that this character possesses.

Domino's Pizza
The quality of the photographs is an essential element for success on Instagram. This fast food chain has not fully understood this, as some of its campaigns include low-resolution images that can scare away customers rather than attract them.

Carson Palmer
The NFL player likes to upload unpleasant photos and videos on the social network. One example of this is pictures of his knee surgery, something that should remain private. Apparently, his PR team is not doing their job properly.

Get Slim With Body Wraps
The photos from this beauty brand have a place of honour among the worst Instagram campaigns. The explicit “before and after” shots of their treatment are quite grotesque and a perfect example of the importance of using the right filters on this type of images.

Nicole Angemi
She is a forensic scientist who has become very popular on this site. However, her extravagant appearance combined with the photos of internal organs and lifeless bodies that she constantly posts, make her the queen of unpleasant content.
Homicide. Beaten to death with a hammer. Notice the skin wounds that correspond to the skull fracture created from a blow by the claw end of a carpenter hammer.

Taylor Swift
This successful singer may spend a lot of money on her shows, but not on her Instagram campaigns, where she posts uncreative and simple images, like the one seen here.

Instagram is a great platform for promoting content. That's why it's important to consult with a marketing expert to avoid making mistakes like this or even worse ones.
