Augumented Reality (AR)

Instagram Face Filters

What are Instagram Face Filters?

IG Face Filters allow users to interact with your brand’s content through augmented reality (AR) and share with their followers to their Instagram stories. When a user sees an Instagram effect that they like, they can save it to their camera roll to use later, and share to their story. When an Instagram account uploads a filter to their profile, that filter organically interacts with their followers by populating in the ‘story camera reel’ of their followers and a ‘filter feed’ is created on their profile.

How can Brands Benefit?

Custom Instagram face filters are a great way to encourage organic interaction between consumers and your brand. When filters on Insta are shared to a story, everyone who sees that story will see your Instagram handle in the top left corner of the story. Viewers of any story using your filter are just two taps away from viewing your profile. This is a very useful advertising tool since users of Instagram post 15x more to their stories than to their feed.

What Data Analytics are Available?

Data is attached to each camera effect and is generated by Facebook’s Spark AR dashboard. Currently, the trackable metrics are Impressions, Captures and Shares. Most impressions and shares come from Instagram Stories, although the breakdown between Instagram posts and stories is visible. Additionally, you’re also able to view the demographics (age, gender) that interact with your filters.

Instagram GIFs

What are GIFs on Instagram?

Ever wondered how to make a GIF for Instagram? Instagram GIFs are short animations that become powerful digital assets when integrated with social media sharing as they quickly communicate brand messages and personality. They can be added to Instagram stories by searching key terms (like your brand’s name or slogans) in the ‘GIF Search’ feature in Instagram. The same thing works for the ‘GIF Search’ keyboard with most social media platforms, including Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok. The platform that hosts all GIFs as well as the ‘GIF Search’ keyboard are powered by GIPHY, which has over 700 million+ daily users, and was acquired by Facebook for $400 million in May 2020.

How can Brands Benefit?

In the competitive world of digital business, brands need to stand out in the eyes of the consumer to succeed. Add a GIF to Instagram stories to stand out from the competition and engage your followers. You can direct your followers to use your Instagram GIFs the same way that you would in the GIF search or GIF keyboard. Additionally, other social users will organically interact with your branded content through GIF search and sharing. For example, your custom GIF tagged with #love will be visible to all GIPHY keyboard users who search the term ‘love’. Because of this, new customers may even find your brand or organization through your GIFs! These Instagram GIF stickers can also be very useful during influencer marketing campaigns on Instagram as they provide brand-safe content that influencers can post. Feature your brand, products or slogans through your partners or own posts without being in-your-face or tacky.

What Data Analytics are Available?

GIPHY displays total channel views and individual gif views. Currently, there is no way to see a breakdown of which platforms the views come from, but GIPHY has stated that on average 80% of gif views come from Instagram gif organic searches. Since GIPHY has recently been acquired by Facebook, we expect updates to the data analytics capabilities coming in the near future.

“Karina and Sophie helped create a Sigil filter that met the unique needs of our brand: something simple and understated, elegant, beauty-focused, and inclusive”

Patrick Kelly

The team at New Future did a fantastic job creating BIO RAW collateral and stunning digital assets. They worked quickly, diligently and were very open and receptive to feedback.

Oren Epstein
Founder aT Bio raw

I had been looking for GIFs and filters when Sophie and Karina found us and reached out. It was very serendipitous that they do exactly what we were looking for! I found the process to be incredibly positive. I had no prior knowledge of the logistics of bringing something like this to life and they took control and made it happen quickly with high quality. I briefed them on what we were looking for and they came back with ideas for input within a few days and then finished creative within a few weeks. Their pricing was affordable and it was seamless all around. We will definitely continue working with New Future Creative for additional AR needs!

Why not just use a freelancer?

We pride ourselves in not just making a business transaction with our clients, but developing a relationship. Our goal is to make your creative vision come true, and to see its launch be successful. To do that, we ensure that our clients understand all the tools and techniques that can go into making a filter or GIF stickers, and work with them to create the perfect design. But, to get more granular here are a few more reasons to trust us with your creative vision:

- Proven processes to ensure that we capture your vision
- Conscious of launch timelines
- Set pricing & creative packages
- Multiple payment methods (both in CAD & USD)
- Native English speakers, nothing is lost in translation
- Screen-share consultations and revisions
- Did we mention revisions?!
- We have a professional reputation to uphold
- Resources from our blog library and many more from our brains

After the initial creation of a filter, there can be some management required, at which point it helps to have an established relationship with your filter's creator. For example, though infrequent, updates to filters may be needed as the software on which they are built is improved. A freelancer may not provide the service of updating, leaving your creative asset out of date and unusable. We would never leave you in that position! Just give us a shout and we’ll be happy to help. That’s just one reason why it pays to have an established agency in your corner.

Why not another agency?

There are other agencies that do what we do. That being said, many are grossly overcharging for the creation of augmented reality face filters and GIFs, billing in the thousands of dollars! These technologies might be relatively new, but we strive to offer fair market prices that capture the reliability and reputation of our agency as well as the real time costs associated with asset production. We don’t just want the big guys to wield these brand-buildings (although we love working with you too!), we believe that our services should be affordable for small businesses as well.
‍
Beyond price, we’re also here to help educate. We will teach you about the different techniques involved with the creation of face filters and GIFs, answer your questions about launching and promoting your assets, the Instagram algorithm, be available for any updates required and general best practices. We love chatting about this space, so don’t be shy to use us as your resource!
