Podcast-style ads for meal kit on Instagram Reels
Podcast-style ads on Instagram Reels give meal kit brands full message control in 9:16, 15–30s format. Meal kit buyers are busy people looking for shortcuts. Podcast-style ads mirror the trusted recommendation from a friend who actually uses the service, which is far more compelling than another food photography ad.
