Milly’s Top Tip For Brands On Instagram:

• Be intentional about getting your personal brand out there:

  “As much as I like to believe that if you have a great brand, people then will find you, it doesn’t always work like that. There are so many people on Instagram but they aren’t always going to find you. So at the moment, I use hashtags predominantly, I often tag locations and tag other creators, but I also use Pinterest.”
