Should I tag and try to collaborate with local organizations or events I attend on Instagram?

Yes, absolutely tag them and consider inviting them as a collaborator on your post. Tagging is good, but a collaboration post is even better because it appears in both accounts’ feeds, exposing your content to their entire follower base. When you post about an event, create content about it, tag the organization, then reach out via direct message to see if they’d accept a collaboration. Collaboration posts show your name on top of the content when their followers see it, which significantly increases your visibility to a relevant local audience.
