Brands are already using Instagram’s Boomerang

Instagram is describing the app as a way to “turn everyday moments into something fun and unexpected.” And even though it’s been barely 24 hours since the launch, they’re already being deployed by big brands and celebrities. 

Here are nine that have already created and shared their own Boomerangs:

Timberland
Fast — it was one of the first brands to try it out — but not so furious. Surely the shoe-company could have looped something more compelling than flipping through pages of a catalog. A stomping boot, maybe? A jaunty dance move?

Who else is flipping through our fall catalog? #boomerang #moderntrail #catalog #timberland

Purina
Who doesn’t love a puppy video? Whether 30 seconds, 10 seconds or just one second, they always work — especially when it’s of a prancing pooch.

World Rugby
World Rugby scored with this sporty loop, to play up the competition between South Africa’s Schalk Burger and his rival, New Zealander Richie McCaw in the first semi-final of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

Step this way Richie…… South Africa’s Schalk Burger may not be as welcoming when he faces his fierce back row rival Richie McCaw tomorrow in the first #RWC2015 semi-final…..#RSAvNZL #Boomerang #Springboks

Twenty One Pilots
The alternative rock band really got in on the action early, posting not one, but a series of 10 Boomerangs as a part of promotions for their “Blurryface” album tour. Here’s one of our favorites.

Cosmopolitan
The magazine took a more personable approach than Elle, posting a charming loop of a staffer blowing a bubble.

Corinthians
This Brazilian soccer team turned this goalie’s dive into a perpetual backspin.
