New LinkedIn and Instagram Features You Need to Use Now | Bathroom Break #106

The platforms just told you exactly what they care about…are you paying attention? In this episode of Bathroom Break, Jay and Daniel break down two major updates from LinkedIn and Instagram that Marketers should be jumping on immediately. Jay explains why LinkedIn’s new off-platform event ads are a game changer for driving webinar registrations and lowering costs, especially if you adopt early before competition increases. Daniel dives into Instagram’s latest shift toward shareability and skip rate, and why the first two seconds of your content now matter more than ever. They walk through how to audit your content for skip rate, improve hooks, and optimize for shares so your posts get more distribution. They also explain a key insight most marketers miss: when platforms roll out new features, they reward early adopters, giving you a temporary advantage if you act fast. If you want quick wins in social and paid right now, this episode is all about spotting the signals and moving before everyone else does.
