Automating your distribution

You know that being active on Instagram is key to growing your player base. But posting manually dozens of times a day is not a sustainable way for one person to work. By using a managed network, you automate the entire process. You get the benefit of being active all day long, across many pages, without having to do the work yourself. It turns a massive, time-consuming job into a streamlined, automated system that gives you more reach for the same amount of effort.

Managed content networks explained

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 is the perfect tool for a marketing manager who needs to show growth but doesn't have the budget or the desire to manage a large team of social posters.

Focusing on creative optimization

Now that you aren't spending your day posting, you can focus on the creative. What clips are getting the most attention? Which captions are driving the most clicks? This is where your value as a manager lies. By optimizing your assets and testing new ideas, you make the entire network work better. You become a strategist rather than a poster. This will help you get better results and make you more valuable to your team.

Building a stronger presence

Consistency is everything on social media. With an automated network, you are always present, always showing up in the feed. This builds trust and keeps your game top of mind for your players. It helps you build a community around your game without needing to be there 24/7. You can set it up, monitor the performance, and enjoy the results while you focus on the bigger picture of your marketing strategy.

Scale your Instagram reach by using a managed content network to automate the manual work of posting.

Follow-up questions

How do I handle negative comments?

You still have your main, hero account for community interaction. The network pages are for reach; the main account is for the community.

Can I see the analytics for the network?

Yes, your provider will give you a clear report on how the network is performing so you can share the results with your boss.

Is this hard to set up?

No, the provider does the heavy lifting. You just need to provide the content and define the goals.
