95: Dishing the dirt on the “Faceless Marketing” Instagram Trend

Author: The Two Lauras February 13, 2024 Duration: 27:12

Have you seen any stock image-y, B-roll type content with some sort of quote or text on it recently? If you haven’t, you’ve probably been avoiding Instagram for some reason - because it’s EVERYWHERE. After a really weird exchange, Laura M had with a faceless account sharing complete Instagram lies, we decided to start investigating this faceless marketing trend that’s been popping up over the last few months. And we’re asking the ultimate questions - should you embrace it, or completely avoid it?

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • Who is running the faceless marketing accounts
  • The link between this trend and Master Resell Rights
  • Why you can’t compare the vanity metrics between their posts and your
  • Ways you can monetise your account in a non-sleazy way
