General Electric Is Using Instagram Stories to Promote Its Snapchat Series About Volcanoes

Brands are jumping into the new feature

Instagram Stories launched Tuesday, and brands are already using the Snapchat-like feature, which lets marketers and the digital platform's 500 million monthly users curate daily moments that disappear after 24 hours.

In fact, General Electric is using its first Instagram story to push a video series on Snapchat that features a data-driven exploration into Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua. Check out the following six stills from GE's first Instagram story (which also includes video but is not embeddable on third-party publisher sites).
