I went straight to user segmentation and probably spent too long there.
Start by clarifying the goal and target users for an art-focused experience on Instagram, then propose a vision that leverages Instagram's strengths in visual storytelling and community. Structure your answer around a clear product strategy, prioritizing features based on impact and feasibility, and outline how you would measure success.
Pro tip: Anchor your answer in Instagram's existing ecosystem—creators, consumers, and advertisers—and show how your idea enhances the core loop rather than creating a separate app. Demonstrate awareness of Meta's business model by discussing monetization and platform synergies.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the objective (e.g., increase engagement, attract new users, support artists) and identify key user segments such as artists, art enthusiasts, and casual viewers.
Articulate a compelling vision for an art-focused experience that aligns with Instagram's mission and differentiates it from competitors, highlighting the unique value for each user segment.
Generate a range of feature ideas (e.g., dedicated art feeds, discovery tools, monetization options) and prioritize them using a framework like RICE or impact/effort, considering user needs and business goals.
Propose a phased rollout starting with a minimum viable product that tests core assumptions, then outline future iterations based on learnings and metrics.
Identify key performance indicators (e.g., artist engagement, time spent, new user acquisition) and discuss potential risks or trade-offs, such as content moderation or cannibalization.
