First 90 days of a content network for marketing manager

Short answer

The first 90 days are a test-and-learn phase to get your content network producing results. A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your clips many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, automating your growth and giving you more time for creative strategy.

Month 1: Setting up the workflow

The first month is about getting your workflow in place. You are learning how to work with the provider, how to prepare your clips, and how to track the results. This is a learning phase, so don't expect everything to be perfect immediately. Focus on building a clear, organized process that makes your job easier in the long run. You are laying the foundation for your future marketing success.

Month 2: Learning what works

In month two, you are really starting to see what works and what doesn't. You are testing new clips, looking at the data, and seeing what drives the most clicks. This is the fun part. You are learning the ropes of organic growth and building a library of successful assets. You are also learning how to work more effectively with the provider to get the best results for your game.

Month 3: Moving into high gear

By the third month, you have a solid routine. You know exactly what to do, and the provider is hitting their stride. You are ready to scale and start pushing for even better results. This is when you really start to see the benefits of the network on your daily life. You have a lot more time on your hands to focus on strategy and creative work because the routine posting is taken care of.

Becoming a more strategic marketer

At the 90-day mark, you have a whole new set of skills and a much more efficient way of working. You have moved from a manual, time-consuming process to a streamlined, automated system. You are now a more strategic marketer who can prove their impact with data. This is how you grow your career and become an even more valuable part of your team.

Marketing managers should use the first 90 days to establish a routine that automates distribution, freeing up their time for strategy and testing.
