What If I Want to Use a Different Instagram Account or Change the One Linked to My Profile?

We get it — sometimes you want to switch things up or use a different account for your content! Here’s what you need to know:

You can do that, but only after you complete all current campaigns you’ve been selected for. This is because brands selected you based on the account currently connected to your profile.

Before switching, you must:

• Finish all campaigns you’ve already been selected for

• Remove any pending campaign interest

This is because you were selected based on your currently linked account, and switching mid-campaign could cause issues with campaign tracking.

Once you’ve completed all current campaigns:

1. Let us know at help@hummingbirds.com so we can update your profile.

2. You’ll then be able to link your new Instagram account.

• Rebuilding Engagement: If you’re starting fresh on a new account, it may take time to grow your audience. Until engagement improves, you may not be selected for as many campaigns.

• Content Mix: Some brands prefer accounts with a balance of personal and sponsored content. An account that is only sponsored posts may be less competitive compared to one that also shows authentic, everyday content.

• Selection Impact: Brands often look at both engagement and content quality. Even with lower engagement, you may still get chosen for campaigns that prioritize great content.

Totally fine!

• Just make sure you post from the account linked to your Hummingbirds profile so you’re able to upload content in the platform.

• If you post additional content from a different account or as a collab:

  • Send us the link at help@hummingbirds.com and we’ll share it with the brand!

We're always here to help make sure your content gets seen and credited properly. Let us know if you need support switching accounts!
