Tying creative to conversion
Your team needs to understand that fragrance is a story. But a story that does not sell is just a hobby. Your brief must demand content that is both beautiful and functional. Tell them to optimize for clicks, not just likes. If a video does not lead to a product page, it is not serving your goals. You need your team to test different hooks and calls to action. Every piece of content should be a step in the customer journey.
Managing brand consistency
You are the steward of the brand identity. Your brief must insist on strict adherence to the brand voice, even when content is distributed at scale. Use a managed content network to amplify your message, but keep the creative tightly controlled. 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, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend.
The role of the social team
Your team should spend less time posting and more time analyzing. If they are spending hours every day uploading, your process is broken. Use the network to do the manual work. Their job is to monitor what is working and produce better creative. They should be looking at the data to see which scent themes perform best. Tell them to double down on these themes. You are hiring them to think and create, not to click buttons.
Measuring campaign success
Set clear benchmarks for every campaign. What is the expected traffic? What is the conversion goal? Make sure these numbers are tied to your broader marketing objectives. If a campaign is underperforming, your team should know why and have a plan to fix it. Traction is not an accident; it is the result of careful planning and constant optimization. Your team should report these metrics to you weekly, so you can make informed decisions about your budget and resources.
CMOs should brief their team to focus on high-performing, mood-driven creative distributed through automated networks to ensure brand consistency.

Start with a library of 10 to 15 high-quality clips and add to it regularly. Variety is key to maintaining reach on social.
