The campaign will be held in France, and will include out-of-home (OOH) posters and pop-up displays, cinema and digital ads across the country.

Head of Facebook France, Laurent Solly, told French newspaper Les Echos: "We are still growing, but it is mostly a way to celebrate our Instagram community, [which is] very active in France."
