Here's what Patter Observer says about the newest Instagram Challenge that I organized. 

This Instagram challenge has been organized by designer Chris Olson
In anticipation of our upcoming marketing workshop, over the next two weeks we will be exploring how marketing can be both beautiful and fun! We are kicking things off with an Instagram Photo Challenge and the rest of the free events are listed below.

Our newest Instagram challenge focuses on marketing—and making it beautiful. This 7-day challenge is all about adding your personal artistic touch to your professional brand identity—logos, business cards, newsletters, and more. So join the fun. Share images of your own branding. Or repost images from the brands that you admire using apps like Repost for Instagram.

Be sure to hashtag your posts with #POMarketing and the daily prompt. Pattern Observer will do a blog post after the challenge sharing our favorites. There is no pressure to participate everyday. There are no rules here, just have fun and share your observations during the week. Check out the #POMarketing feed on Instagram to see what your friends are posting.
