Maybe if they have a professional Instagram. Otherwise I would agree it’s too intrusive/weird.

Most high up there agency folk have less than 200 followers. It’s not really the platform for them. Just mostly for family when you are older.

I follow a few people I know personally if they follow me. But even then, my Instagram persona is absolutely deranged compared to LinkedIn. So I feel bad for them even seeing me as I am.

Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?
