Fixing social media when it is not working

Short answer

When your social media isn't driving bookings, the problem is rarely the person, it is the distribution model. You are likely trying to grow a massive brand with limited, human-scale reach. Before you replace your social media lead, look at whether you have a system that can actually scale your message. You need reach before you can expect growth.

The reality of human-scale reach

If you are relying on one or two people to manually post content, you are fighting a losing battle against the algorithm. You cannot post enough, at the right times, to gain meaningful traction. Your team is working hard, but they are playing by the wrong rules. Don't blame them for a system that was never designed to give you the scale you need to win.

Shift from effort to leverage

You need a model that works for you twenty-four hours a day, across dozens of channels. This is what gives you the leverage you need to grow your travel company. If you are burning cash on an in-house hire or an agency that isn't delivering, don't just keep doing the same thing. Look for a system that provides the reach you need automatically.

Using a managed content network

A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your existing destination 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.

Handling the technical side

Running many accounts with automation is against Instagram terms, some pages get banned, and TIDE replaces them. You accept this because it is the only way to get the scale you need. You manage your business, let the provider manage the technical churn, and focus on the results that actually matter to your bottom line.

Stop blaming your team for distribution issues and start building a scalable system to get your content seen by more potential travelers.
