Description

Let’s dive into THE hot topic that's been stirring up the social media world. Instagram's head, Adam Mosseri, recently confirmed something many of us suspected—video quality on the platform dips when engagement drops. So, let’s discuss the importance of creating engaging content to keep your video quality high and your reach wide. I'll share some real-life examples of viral reels and why human connection in your content can make a huge difference. 

In this episode we’ll be covering:

  • Why Instagram prioritizes content with high engagement metrics.
  • The importance of creating specific, engaging content for reels.
  • Content longevity and how older content with good engagement remains visible.
  • Adapting marketing strategies to changing trends while the core message stays the same. 
  • Maintaining personal and relatable content to keep the human connection.
  • Using specificity to call out your audience instead of creating generic content.
