A lean team for large social media channels

An Instagram channel is more than the sum of its posts.

It needs an idea, a rhythm,
recognizable formats, curation and someone
who holds it all together over time.

What we take on

StrategyFormatsContent selectionProductionChannel managementCreator direction
Problem

In practice, it often looks like this.

Everyone does their part.

No one owns the whole.

The senior wins the pitch.

The junior runs the channel afterwards.

The budget is there.

The time isn't.

The content looks good.

It isn't social-first.

There's no shortage of material.

There's a shortage of selection.

Too big for the working student.

Too small for the big agency.

The campaign is strong.

The channel in between stays empty.

The channel still works like it's 2023.

Instagram doesn't.

The channel is a press feed with pictures.

News in. Post out.

This isn't a problem of effort.
It's a problem of structure.

Someone has to run the channel.

Not more sign-off rounds.
More experience at the channel.

See where it stalls.

Sharpen formats.

Select content.

Help run execution.

Why that makes a difference in the work.

Closer to the decision.

Strategy, creative direction and execution stay close together. Whoever sets the direction stays on the work.

Faster to adapt.

When formats, platform logic or timing shift, there's no big apparatus to move. We can react quickly.

Better staffed.

Usually as a duo. When needed, with exactly the creators, photographers, filmmakers or producers the project calls for.

Channels we've built, sharpened and run.

Smartphone
Four years of full responsibility for the B2C Instagram channel of HUAWEI Germany.A smartphone brand that positions itself through its camera needs images that prove exactly that. So we built a curated team of photographers, ran image selection, editorial, community and reporting, and kept developing the channel over time.

Out of more than 10,000 submissions, only the best went live. The result was a channel that could deliver high-quality content almost daily: with 20+ creators, photo trips, launch events, PR features and a system that made quality possible over years.

Trade fair
From trade-fair feed to Instagram photo magazine.For photokina, the world's leading photography trade fair, we developed and ran the Instagram channel as a social-first magazine: not an announcement board for fair topics, but a stage for photography, creators and personal perspectives.

At its heart was a curated video portrait series with international photographers. The people we introduced on Instagram could later be experienced live at the fair: in talks, workshops, photo walks and meet & greets.

A channel that used to matter mostly around the fair became a format that could carry the whole year. It grew from around 15,000 to 33,000 followers. The video series won 2nd place at the German Business Film Award.

Cultural sponsorship
Five years in the core team of a major cultural-sponsorship project for a global telecommunications company.Through a leading social media agency, we were part of the ongoing channel team: strategy, format development, editorial, creative direction and execution within a complex setup of brand, agency, artists, managements and production.

The task: develop content that works for the brand, stays credible for the artists and lands with the audience. That included hero formats, daily baseline content, festival productions, artist approvals and assets often produced and published the same day.

Destinations
Travel isn't a single project. It's a field we've worked in for years.As creators, consultants and a production team, we've worked for airlines, hotels, tourism boards, destinations and tour operators. That's why we know the perspectives that often meet in tourism: brand, destination, trip planning, creator selection, on-location production and content that actually works on social afterwards.
