Stowed was founded on a vision. A vision for a more beautiful living space filled with modern, sophisticated, and luxurious furniture that stands the test of time. Founded in 2017, Stowed harnessed the power of Instagram to build a loyal following. Through a beautifully curated aesthetic on their social media pages, it becomes easy for a customer to see how Stowed's collection can transform their home. However, in an effort to compete with TikTok, Instagram recently rewrote its entire algorithm. Instead of favoring a meticulously crafted grid like Stowed's, the algorithm now prioritizes Reels. Short form videos have completely flipped the platform on its head, and many companies, like Stowed, are not happy about it. In this episode, we spoke with Elissia Sigalow, the founder of Stowed, and Megan Scofield, the Director of Creative Operations. We discuss the Instagram algorithm changes, what that means for small businesses, and how companies and individuals can finally get their engagement back.
