It's official: Instagram now has ads, and the first one appeared Friday courtesy of fashion designer Michael Kors.
A colorful image of a luxury watch sitting on a table appeared on the photo-sharing app Friday, an Instagram spokesman confirmed. It was shown to women in the U.S., regardless of whether they were following the brand.
Instagram began testing ads last week, but the Michael Kors post is the first branded advertisement to officially run on the service. More ads are on the way, Instagram said, but the company did not specify when or how often.
Feast your eyes on the first ad to appear on Instagram, from fashion designer Michael Kors.
