Connecting content to conversion
Your social media manager needs to understand your funnel. It's not enough to just post photos of frames. They need to understand what makes someone click, what makes them stay on the page, and what makes them buy. They should be using UTM codes and other tracking tools to see which posts are actually working. If they can't show you the data behind their results, they are failing to do their job properly. Every post should serve a purpose in your wider marketing strategy.
Mastering the brand narrative
Your brand's visual identity is essential to your marketing success. The social media manager needs to live and breathe your aesthetic. They should be the gatekeeper of your tone and the curator of your visual style. When they talk about face shapes or lens clarity, they should sound like an expert. If they don't understand your product in depth, their content will fall flat. They need to be a true partner in building your brand's voice and reach.
Scaling distribution without adding staff
A managed content network helps you scale your brand reach without taxing your team. A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages 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 lets you get more out of your existing content while your manager focuses on strategy.
The iterative testing cycle
The job isn't done after you hit publish. A great manager is always testing new ideas. They should be tracking which videos get the most views, which ones lead to the most site visits, and which ones result in the most sales. They should use this information to create even better content for your next campaign. This cycle of testing and improving is what will keep you ahead of the competition and ensure your marketing is as effective as possible.
Focus your social media manager on driving revenue through data-backed testing, and use managed networks to scale your reach.

Is using a managed network safe?
Automation breaks terms of service, and bans can happen. A provider like TIDE will replace your accounts to ensure you stay active.
