How to Prepare for an Instagram Story Takeover

Today, we’re going to be sharing a few tips on how to prepare for an Instagram story takeover. 

If a brand has asked you to do an Instagram story takeover or you want to pitch a brand for an Instagram story takeover, this podcast episode is for you. We hope these tips help you plan your next IG story takeover.

Tip 1: Before you start filming, get the brand’s requirements for the takeover. 

You can ask for the brand’s creative brief or you can ask your point of contact on brand’s team what type of information they want included in the takeover. If the brand doesn’t provide you with a list of requirements, we recommend asking the asking the brand. 

 Tip 2: Before you start filming, create a high-level script or story board for the takeover

After you have the brand’s requirements, you can start to plan your takeover.  We highly recommend getting this story board approved by the brand ahead of time because:

1.     It will prevent re-work and re-filming. 

2.     The brand and you will be on the same page on what type of content to capture for the takeover. 

3.     You’ll go into filming more organized, and you know what content you need to capture.
