The role of raw video in performance
For a network, raw is best. You want your content to look like it was shared by a real person, not a corporate brand. This means footage that is stable and clear, but not over-produced. You should be collecting clips that capture the progress of your building sites, the lifestyle features of the area, and the small details that make your properties special. This variety keeps your audience interested.
Categorizing your content library
You need a library that covers different aspects of your project. Think of it as a taxonomy: construction progress, interior tours, amenity highlights, and lifestyle shots. When you feed this variety into the network, the provider can experiment with different messages. This helps you identify what themes actually drive the traffic you need, allowing you to optimize your content strategy based on real platform performance.
Building a sustainable capture system
You need to make content capture a habit for your field team. They are on-site every day. You don't need a high-end production. Give them simple guidelines: keep the phone steady, use natural light, and show the progress. You are managing the pipeline of these assets to a provider like TIDE, who will handle the scheduling and distribution across your network of Instagram accounts.
Analyzing the content data
The benefit of a network is that you get clear signals. You will see which types of clips get the most engagement. As a CMO, you should use this data to inform your broader marketing strategy. If site tours outperform lifestyle shots, then you should prioritize site tours in your future content capture. This turns your network into a feedback loop that helps you refine your messaging across all your marketing.
Feed your network with a diverse library of raw video and use the engagement data to optimize your overall content strategy.

Follow-up questions
Can we reuse content?
Yes, absolutely. You should be rotating your best-performing clips through your network pages to maximize their impact.
Should we use music or voiceovers?
Both work, but keep it simple. Trending audio can help with reach, but authenticity is key to the network's success.
How do we store this content?
A simple cloud folder system is best. You need to make it as easy as possible for your team to upload their files.
