With 300 million monthly users and a burgeoning community of foodie photogs, Instagram has become hashtag heaven for fast-food restaurants and snack brands.

Taking basic beauty shots of meals just won’t cut it for consumers. It’s all about showing some personality. “The bar is higher on Instagram—a lot of these quick-service restaurants want to lean into the behavior of the community on Instagram versus creating product-first content,” explained Tom Buontempo, Attention’s president.
