Make your team's life easier

As a marketing manager, you want your team to be productive, not busy. Brief them to build a managed content network. This takes the manual workload off their plates while giving them much better results. They no longer have to spend all day on the platform. They can focus on creating great content and letting the network handle the rest. It is a huge win for your team's productivity and morale.

What is a managed content network?

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. It is the easiest way to grow without adding more work.

Getting results without the grind

Your team needs to focus on what matters: the quality of the content and the overall growth results. The network gives them more traffic and better data to work with. They can spend their time on creative strategy, and the network will handle the distribution. It is a much more professional and rewarding way to work, and it makes your team look great in front of the whole company.

Handling the technical reality

Running many accounts with automation is against Instagram terms, and some pages get banned. Your team should not worry about this. The provider handles the technical side of the network. They replace the pages so your team can focus on the growth and the strategy. It is a professional way to get the job done without having to manage all the technical details yourself.

Use a managed content network to get more reach with less manual work for your team.
