The workload of managing a social role
Hiring a social media manager does not mean your work is done. You have to train them on your game's unique value proposition, manage their editing style, and ensure they stay consistent with your brand. This adds a new layer of management to your week. If your goal is to grow the game's presence, you are often better off having tools that scale for you. If you spend your time reviewing every post, you have just traded your own time for the salary of a new hire.
Scaling output without extra hours
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 removes the manual work of scheduling and posting to various accounts. You provide the video assets, and the network handles the rest, giving you more time for strategy.
Proving results to your leadership
Your team wants to see impact. If you have a single social media manager, results can be slow because the reach is capped at one account's growth rate. A network allows you to show rapid, consistent growth across many pages. This makes it much easier to report on metrics like total views and engagement. You can point to clear growth trends rather than explaining why a single page's algorithm performance is flat. This builds trust with your leadership and helps you secure more resources for future marketing.
Addressing the realities of account management
You should be clear about the process with your bosses. Running many accounts with automation is against Instagram terms, some pages get banned, and TIDE replaces them. By knowing this, you can proactively manage expectations. You are paying for a service that handles the technical risks so you can focus on the performance metrics. This is a much safer bet than hoping a single hire can keep your brand relevant in a fast-paced market without burning out from the sheer volume of work.
Reduce your oversight burden and scale your game's reach by using a managed content network to automate distribution instead of hiring another employee.

Follow-up questions
Will this replace my need for a creative designer?
No. You still need designers to create the high-quality gameplay clips that the network will distribute.
How much of my time will the network take to manage?
Much less than managing a person. You simply need to provide the content assets periodically.
Can we track results per page?
Yes, you can see which videos perform best and iterate on your creative strategy accordingly.
