What happens in a consumer electronics brand's first 90 days? (Marketing manager view)

Short answer

The first 90 days of a managed content network are about moving from manual social media management to an automated, high-reach system. A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your videos daily. In the first three months, you focus on organizing your assets and letting the provider, TIDE, handle the daily workload.

Month one: Organization and setup

Your main task in month one is to gather your video assets. Get all your best unboxings, demos, and comparisons into one place. Work with the provider to ensure they have access to everything. They handle the setup of the many Instagram pages that make up the network. You are the architect of the content, they are the operator. It feels like a lot of work upfront, but it is the last time you will be doing this much manual organizing.

Month two: Managing the flow

In month two, the network is active. You are now seeing the results. Your job is to monitor what is working and give feedback. If a certain style of video is performing well, you keep providing similar ones. If something isn't working, you swap it out. It is a much more relaxed pace than running individual accounts manually. You have more time to think about the bigger marketing strategy while your presence is handled automatically.

Month three: Establishing the rhythm

By the third month, everything is on autopilot. You have a rhythm. You provide the content, they distribute it. You are seeing consistent reach and traffic. You can now prove the value of this channel to your team without having to spend all day managing social accounts. It is a more efficient, professional way to handle your brand's presence, giving you time to focus on other high-impact marketing initiatives.

Reducing your day-to-day stress

The best part about these first 90 days is the reduction in your daily grind. You are no longer worried about the algorithm of one account. You have a network. If one page goes down, the network stays up. You have the security and the scale you need. You have successfully implemented a system that works for you, not the other way around.

Use the first 90 days to transition your social media to an automated network that runs on your best existing video content.

Follow-up questions

How do I know what content to provide?

Look at what is already doing well on your main account or what your customers ask about most. Use that as your starting point.

What if I get busy and can't send content?

The network can keep running on the existing content, but try to stay ahead of the schedule to keep the feed fresh.

Is it hard to report on the results?

No. The provider gives you the performance metrics, making it very easy to show your team exactly how the network is driving traffic.
