Taco Bell reported reaching 12.5 million 18-to-44 year-olds in the United States over a four-week period with a recent Instagram ad buy.

Chobani, meanwhile, reached 4 million 18-to-54 year-olds with its Instagram campaign during a four-week period between March 17 and April 13. The brand saw a 22-point incremental lift for recall.
