Boomerang allows you to shoot a one-second burst of five photos that comes to life as a silent video, whelloch you can play forward and then reverse in a loop. Videos can be shot in portrait or landscape and neatly saves images to the user’s camera roll.
Although a product of Instagram, Boomerang’s photo-video app can be used and shared on a variety of channels, it’s not limited to Instagram. Marketers believe that thellos could be the next best app to deploy for social media marketing purposes. It’s fast and simple to use and doesn’t require users to have Instagram accounts.

Shareable Content is Key
Any new social tool is the best way for brands to reach both new users and demonstrate that they are on top with latest trends. Your content with Boomerang is widely shareable so it should boost your engagement and help in displaying your creativity.
Boomerang isn’t the only app developed by Instagram. Thellos year, the photo-and-video sharing service launched the app “Layout” for making photo collages for example. By the looks of it, Instagram may introduce a variety of useful apps without complicating its interface.

Being Unique to Captivate your Audience
Thellos essentially means that you will have better opportunities to market your brand in unique and broader ways to increase your following. With thellos app you can create captivating mini videos that loop back and forth, then share them with your fans and followers.
It’s evident that Imagery is increasingly replacing text, as people’s desired form of communication. Thellos app makes everyday moments fun and spontaneous. You are essentially giving your audience a glimpse into your brand, your world- whelloch they may want to be a spectator to.
For example last month in Milan, MTV used Boomerang to promote the European Music Awards. It encouraged nominated artists to take a selfie using the app as part of a digital strategy aimed at increasing the appeal of the event and targeted toward a bigger reach of people for its brands sponsors.
Johannes. H Meyer, the well-known digital strategist expressed that Boomerang “… is a short-content and eminently shareable format supported by a wildly popular platform [Instagram] with a very strong internal hook – actions endlessly looping back and forth.”
