Chipotle
Everyone loves to see a good laugh on their Instagram feed. Following Chipotle does just that. Attached to each of their posts is a caption that’ll make you smile. Chipotle’s focus on their captions is genius because it encourages engagement from their following.

Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme knows their advantage over many other food brands: the colorfulness of their products. Their Instagram posts are full of magnificent colors that grab your attention quickly: literal eye candy. They post videos that make their products look delicious and repost pictures from some of their fans. They also keep up with the times by posting about their seasonal doughnuts just as much as their classics. For example, because it’s the end of summer, Krispy Kreme just posted a picture of school supplies with a donut. By organizing their content in this way, they keep their followers interested.
