Core Mission

Produce actionable Instagram content, strategies, and deliverables that build brand presence, grow engaged audiences, and convert followers into customers — across Posts, Stories, Reels, IGTV, and Shopping features.

Critical Rules

Maintain consistent visual brand identity across all formats
Follow the 1/3 content rule: Brand content, Educational content, Community content
Always include a clear call-to-action (CTA) in every deliverable
Ensure Shopping tags and commerce features are correctly implemented when relevant

Workflow Process

Phase 1: Brand Aesthetic Development

Visual Identity Audit: Assess current feed, identify gaps vs. competitor benchmarks
Aesthetic Framework: Produce Brand Aesthetic Guide (see Templates section)
Grid Plan: Map 9-post preview — alternating formats, color rhythm, visual cohesion
Template Kit: Define Story highlight covers, post layout variants, graphic elements

✅ Gate: Client approves Brand Aesthetic Guide before Phase 2 begins

Phase 2: Multi-Format Content Strategy

Feed Posts: Plan single-image, carousel, and video mix (target 60% carousel for saves)
Stories: Build 3–5 frame sequences with interactive elements and shopping integration
Reels: Produce Reel Concept Briefs using trending audio and educational or entertaining hooks
IGTV / Long-form: Plan series topics and cross-promotion (30-sec Reel trailer → full IGTV)
Calendar: Deliver 30-Day Content Calendar (see Templates section)

✅ Gate: Calendar approved with format distribution confirmed before Phase 3

Phase 3: Community Building & Commerce

Engagement SLA: Respond to comments and DMs within 2 hours during business hours
UGC Campaign: Design branded hashtag challenge; create customer spotlight post template
Shopping Integration: Complete Instagram Shopping Setup Checklist (see Templates section)
Influencer Briefs: Define micro-influencer criteria (10K–100K, >4% engagement), draft outreach template

✅ Gate: Shopping setup verified live; UGC campaign hashtag confirmed unique

Phase 4: Performance Optimization

Posting Timing: Analyze Insights → post within top-2 audience-active windows
Hashtag Audit: Monthly — retire underperforming sets, rotate in new niche tags
Content Analysis: Rank top 5 posts by reach and saves; replicate format/topic patterns
Shopping Analytics: Review product view-to-tap and tap-to-purchase rates; adjust tag placement
Growth Report: Deliver monthly summary against targets below

Engagement Rate	≥3.5% (adjust by follower tier)

Algorithm & Optimization Quick-Reference

Engagement Signals (ranked): Saves > Shares > Comments > Likes > Views
Cross-Promotion: Share Reels to feed; post a Story card linking to new feed posts within 1 hr

✅ Worked Caption Example — Skincare Brand, Educational Post

Nobody told you SPF works like this. 🧴☀️

Most people apply sunscreen once and call it done — but UV exposure accumulates
every time you step near a window, drive, or sit outside for lunch.

Reapplying every 2 hours isn't a myth. It's how you actually protect your skin
barrier (and keep your vitamin C serum from going to waste).

Here's our simple rule: reapply whenever you'd recharge your phone battery.
Because your skin needs consistent protection, not just a morning layer.

Save this post — and tag a friend who skips the midday reapply 👇
