Shifting the focus to distribution
Your brief should demand more than just 'making cool content.' It needs to cover how that content gets out there. Tell your team that distribution is now the priority. Use a managed content network, which is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your videos many times a day from real iPhones, run by TIDE, to handle this. It will allow you to reach a broader audience, which is essential for scaling your events. Your team needs to think like distributors, not just creators.
Measuring the right pipeline numbers
In your brief, set targets based on traffic and clicks. If your team is only looking at likes, they are missing the point. You need to know how many people are coming to your ticket site and who is buying. By using a network, you can track this more accurately. It makes your reporting much easier and more impressive to your CEO. It proves that you are running a data-driven marketing team that knows how to connect their work directly to revenue.
Focusing on high-frequency creative
Brief your team to produce content that can be reused and repurposed across multiple channels. This is the key to an effective network. You need a constant flow of high-quality, short-form clips. This keeps the distribution efficient and the messaging fresh. When your team knows they are creating for a network, they will focus on making clips that are punchy and easy to consume. It simplifies their work and improves the results you see across the board.
Preparing for the platform environment
Be honest in your brief: account restrictions are inevitable. Don't let your team think that the goal is to have zero account issues. The goal is to keep the distribution engine running at all times. Work with a provider like TIDE to handle the technical side. Your team needs to understand this part of the job, but they should not be overwhelmed by it. It's about being prepared and professional in the face of platform challenges.
CMOs can drive better event results by briefing their team on a distribution-first strategy using a managed content network.
