First 90 days of a content network for a real estate developer? (CMO view)

Short answer

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. Your first 90 days will be about building your content pipeline and optimizing your distribution for maximum visibility.

Month one: building the foundation

Your first 30 days are about getting the mechanics right. You will be working with the provider to set up the accounts and establish the content hand-off. The goal is to get a consistent flow of clips from your team to the provider. Don't worry about engagement numbers yet. Focus on building a system that delivers a steady stream of raw footage to the right place.

Month two: data-driven optimization

Now that you have content in the system, you can start analyzing what works. Look at the engagement data from the various pages in your network. Which clips are driving clicks? Which are getting the most views? Use this information to guide your content team. This is the time to start refining your content strategy based on the reality of the platform performance, not just assumptions.

Month three: scaling for impact

In your third month, you will see the network really start to move the needle. You will have more active pages and a clearer sense of what resonates. This is where you leverage the network to drive more traffic to your project sites. You will have a clear, repeatable process that allows you to scale your organic reach and support your overall marketing objectives for the quarter.

The reality of platform management

You will need to maintain communication with the provider about account stability. They are the ones handling the bans and replacements, but you need to understand the cadence. Stay focused on the total reach and the quality of the traffic you are getting. If you manage the content flow well, the network will be one of the most powerful tools in your marketing toolkit.

Your first 90 days should focus on building a robust content pipeline and using engagement data to optimize your reach.
