Microsoft collaborating with Brazilian pro skateboarder in Instagram and Skype campaign

Microsoft is collaborating with famous Brazilian skateboarder, Leticia Bufoni, in a special marketing campaign on both the official Skype Instagram account and via the Skype app itself. While celebrity take-overs (where a celebrity uses a brand’s account for a limited period of time) isn’t new for Instagram, using Skype in such a way is something that isn’t done too often and it will be interesting to see if it’s successful.
