When Posting on Instagram, Should I Mark Hummingbirds Posts as Paid Partnerships?

Edited

Great question! Here’s what you need to know:

✅ Follow the Campaign Requirements First

Each campaign will include specific instructions for:

  • Required hashtags

  • Required brand tags

  • Any special language to use

Please be sure to follow the brief exactly — these requirements are what matter most for your content to count!

🏷️ What About the Paid Partnership Tag?

Using Instagram’s “Paid Partnership” label is not required by Hummingbirds. However:

  • You are absolutely welcome to use it if you choose

  • You can also add any additional hashtags beyond what’s required

Ultimately, we leave this up to you and your comfort level with transparency — just be sure the required campaign tags and hashtags are there!
