Our episode title may be a little dramatic, but it definitely felt like the social media apocalypse was upon us the last two weeks. Instagram made some big changes that did not go over well with users and had marketers in a panic.  While Instagram has since rolled back those changes, we believe this situation should serve as a wake up call for marketers.  In this episode, we share the background and provide our thoughts on how small business owners should respond so that your business success is not hurt by the whims of the social media gods.    Follow us: Iris Digital Media Group, LLC - website Instagram - Iris Digital Media Group @IrisDigitalMediaGroup Instagram - Digital Dreamer Podcast  @TheDigitalDreamerPodcast Facebook - Iris Digital Media Group LinkedIn - company LinkedIn - Kim LinkedIn - Abby   Do you find yourself scratching your head on Monday mornings, wondering what to post?
