Scaling results with the right system

You know that you are capable of delivering great content. The problem is that it is not reaching enough people. The answer is not hiring more people; the answer is a better distribution system. By using a managed network, you can take your best videos and have them posted to dozens of accounts. This immediately gets your content in front of a much larger audience. It is the smartest way to show your boss that you can scale results without needing a massive budget increase.

What is a managed content network?

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. This is a big shift for your daily routine. No more manual uploading to every account. No more worrying about the posting schedule. It's all done for you. This frees you up to spend your time making your app's content even better.

Driving better data

Because the network is so large, you will get a ton of data back on what is performing. You can see which videos get the most clicks and which ones lead to the most installs. This makes your job much easier because you don't have to guess what works. You can just look at the data and create more of what people like. This is how you consistently improve your performance and make yourself look like an expert to your team.

Working smarter, not harder

Don't let yourself get burnt out by the constant demand for more output. Use systems and services to do the heavy lifting for you. You are a talented marketing manager, and your time is best spent on strategy and creative, not on repetitive uploading. When you use a network, you demonstrate that you are focused on efficiency and that you can drive growth in a modern, smart way. That is the kind of initiative that leads to more responsibility and career success.

Use a managed network to scale your distribution and reach more users without adding to your workload.

Follow-up questions

What if my boss thinks this is cheating?

Show them the results. If you are getting more installs and more growth, that is what matters. It is just efficient distribution.

Do I need to manage the network provider?

You need to manage the relationship, but they handle the technical side. It is much easier than managing a full social team.

How can I make the content more engaging?

Use the data from the network to see what people click on. The more you know, the better your creative will be.
