The brief: testing for scale
Tell your team that their primary job is to find the content that works. They should be running a high-volume testing program. Every week they should be producing new video hooks and testing them across the network. The goal is to see what drives the highest click-through rate. You do not want them to wait for perfection; you want them to get data, iterate, and move to the next thing.
Defining the distribution engine
A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This is the foundation of your testing program. It provides the traffic that makes all your tests possible.
The role of the growth lead
Your role is to guide the strategy based on the data. Your team should be providing you with regular reports on what is working and what is not. You use this to allocate your budget and decide where to put your ad spend. By having a clear link between the network performance and the paid ad strategy, you create a powerful growth loop that makes your whole team more effective.
Operational agility as a must
The team should not get hung up on the platform details. They should focus on the creative data and the performance. If an account goes down, they know the provider handles it. They should stay focused on their mission: produce the best content, test it at scale, and deliver the traffic that drives your growth. This is how you run a lean, high-performing team.
Heads of Growth should brief their team to run high-volume, data-driven tests across a managed content network to optimize all growth channels.
