Below are some of my favorite Instagram work samples:
Audience engagement
Ask IDS: Crowdsourcing story ideas from our readers by inviting them to email us questions and curiosities.

Used the Instagram slider feature to gauge reader questions. Then, sent direct messages to everybody who responded answering the question they indicated they had. Answered more than 300 questions in a day.
