It’s 3:00 PM and you’re on your third cup of coffee. For some reason, no matter how hard you try, you can’t escape the exhaustion. Worse still, you can’t leave for the day because you have to finalize your presentation for the board meeting tomorrow. Wouldn’t a nap be ideal right about now?

The recent launch of IGTV, Instagram’s latest venture, has made a splash in the marketing world thus far.

The fix? Establishing an aesthetic for your brand.
