Instagram is adding 30-second video ads and other features as it gives businesses more ways to reach potential customers through the Facebook photo sharing app.

The company says in a blog post that large and small advertisers will be able to run campaigns on Instagram starting this month, and ads will be available in 30 new countries, including India, South Korea and Mexico.

Aside from video ads, businesses also will be able to use landscape-style photos and a product called Marquee that aims to quickly expand a company's reach in a short time frame for things like movie premieres and product launches.

This expansion comes as Instagram parent Facebook focuses more on drawing advertising revenue from where its users are, on smartphones and other hand-held devices.
