Dive Insight:
A beer brand like Stella Artois—which prides itself on its aesthetic—is a perfect fit for Instagram. Foodies flock to the app to show off well-curated dining experiences, so the beer really has an opportunity to make a name in the space. Because the photo sharing site is owned by Facebook, it is also able to use targeting information to ensure it isn't advertising to underage users.
