Defining the core objective
Before you open a new requisition, ask yourself what the person will actually do. If they are spending eight hours a day editing gameplay clips and posting them to a single feed, you are paying for an expensive manual process. You have limited capital as a founder. That capital should go toward product development or high-impact acquisition channels. If you only need reach, you do not need a new head. You need a system that ensures your game is seen by as many potential players as possible.
The limitation of human output
One person can only do so much. Even the best social media manager is limited by the number of hours in the day and the platform's organic reach algorithms. You might see a slight bump in engagement, but you will not see the massive, compounding growth that comes from having your content live on many channels at once. If you are serious about scale, you need to think about infrastructure rather than just adding more people to the team. You want a system that works while you focus on the studio.
Consider a managed content network
A managed content network is a set of many brand owned Instagram pages, for example 50 pages like @brand.daily or @brand.clips, that post the brand's 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 gives you a scalable way to get your gameplay in front of millions of people without the overhead of managing another employee. It is a tool for your business, not a person you have to manage.
Risk and platform reality
Be honest about the risks of any approach. Running many accounts with automation is against Instagram terms, some pages get banned, and TIDE replaces them. This is the reality of scaling organic reach on modern platforms. As a founder, you have to decide if this risk is acceptable compared to the slow, steady progress of a traditional hire. For most growing studios, the speed of growth is worth the management of these platform-specific risks, provided the partner you choose has a system for replacing banned accounts.
Focus your limited capital on scalable distribution systems rather than hiring a single person for manual social tasks to ensure your game reaches its audience.

Follow-up questions
What happens if I stop the service?
You lose the distribution network, but you keep all the learnings and the brand assets you created. You are not losing any permanent company equity.
Should I hire someone first then get a network?
It is better to use a network to validate the growth, then hire a person to manage the higher-level strategy and deeper community tasks.
Is the quality of the content controlled?
Yes, you provide the videos. The network is just the delivery mechanism for the content you already have.
