5 Instagram Accounts We’re Loving This Month

We’re big on inspiration here at Metter Media … and in the world of social media, there’s plenty of it to go around. With over 95 million images being posted to Instagram every single day, why would you not look to this platform as a source of inspo? I mean, that is A LOT of content… and within that content, a lot of really great ideas. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with taking someone’s idea, figuring out how you could make it work for your brand or client, and then tweaking it so it’s something totally new and brilliant. Sometimes a little dose of inspo from someone else is all you need to get those creative juices flowing.

From incredibly witty campaigns to gorgeously crafted aesthetics, here are some accounts we can’t get enough of this month on Instagram:

Keeping Your Mental Health A Priority While Using Social Media

Social media has completely taken the world by storm, providing a bridge of communication and connection between individuals, companies, even countries. While social media can be toxic, we love its positive qualities and interconnectivity — and can’t tell you to go cold turkey. We’ve made changes to these platforms along the way and platforms have rolled out new features, like Facebook’s Crisis Response, allowing users to mark themselves as ‘safe’ in case of a crisis.

Sometimes we forget to check in with ourselves, ignoring the small yet dire effects social media places upon us. As a college student interning for a social media management company, I’m exposed to A LOT of social media, thus inspiring this piece, as I try both old and new tips to focus on my mental health despite having the world at my fingertips.
