Does a post have to be native to do well?

In my experience, overall — no. People can spot ads, whether they’re in disguise as platform content or not. Then again I guess it really depends on the content though, and the platform you’re using. I have found that overall, the 55+ demos respond well to these, but millennial and gen z can spot an ad a mile away.

Your ad really has to not look or feel like an ad at all for it to do better than normal ad placement. It really comes down to the creative/content.

Otherwise I feel like it’s mostly an industry gimmick in a sense. (I’ve noticed digital agencies have native ad placements cost more on some platforms like websites that use a CPC model.)

Hope that makes sense/helps.

No. No big company is posting stuff natively. Which tool you use to post has no impact on anything. Never has.

I use a social media management tool, Social Champ, for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. It also supports Instagram. But it’s a little complex process. So, I prefer direct posting through Instagram.
