Build an Instagram Presence That Drives Real Business
I help brands build real audiences on Instagram, not vanity follower counts. Content strategy, visual brand guidelines, Reels strategy, hashtag research, and engagement optimization. Every decision tied to business outcomes, not likes.
Posting Every Day Won't Save a Broken Instagram Strategy
I see brands posting 5 times a week with zero strategy. Random quotes, stock photos, and hashtags copied from competitors. They get 30 likes from bots and call it engagement. The algorithm doesn't reward effort. It rewards relevance.
Your feed looks different every week. No color palette, no layout rhythm, no recognizable style. People scroll past.
You post because you 'should.' No content pillars, no audience mapping, no connection to what you actually sell.
Vanity metrics You track followers and likes instead of profile visits, link clicks, and DM conversations that lead to sales.

Common questions
Does Instagram still work for businesses in 2026?
It works for some categories: D2C, food, fitness, travel, fashion, design, education, and personal-brand professionals. For B2B SaaS and complex services, Instagram is mostly vanity — LinkedIn or YouTube is a better channel. I’ll be honest about whether Instagram is the right fight for your business before we start.
Should I post Reels, photos, carousels, or Stories?
Reels for reach and new audience growth. Carousels for saves and depth (carousels still get the highest save-to-reach ratio in 2026). Photos almost never. Stories for warming up the audience you already have. The right ratio for most accounts: 60% Reels, 30% carousels, 10% other.
How fast can I grow my Instagram?
Realistic growth on a focused account with consistent Reels: 1,000–5,000 followers/month after the first 90 days. Faster if a Reel hits, but the business outcome (DMs, profile visits, link clicks, sales) is what we track — not follower count. Follower count is the worst metric Instagram offers.
Will you create content for me?
Strategy, scripts, hooks, and content briefs yes. Production (filming, editing, voiceover) in collaboration with you or your in-house creator. The fastest scaling accounts I’ve seen are personality-driven — your face, your voice. I won’t hire stock creators to ghost-create your account; that strategy stopped working in 2023.
What about Instagram Ads?
Covered under the Meta Ads service. Organic Instagram and paid Instagram run on the same Pixel + CAPI infrastructure but require different content strategies. We coordinate them so your organic content has a clear graduation path into top-performing paid campaigns.
Do you handle DMs and community management?
Setup of automation (welcome DMs, FAQ flows via ManyChat or Instagram’s native automation) yes. Day-to-day inbox management is your team’s job — community management can’t be outsourced if you want it to feel real. I’ll set up the systems and train your team to run them.
Can you fix a stagnant account?
Yes. Account audit covers content quality, hook strength, posting cadence, format mix, profile optimization, link strategy, and the conversion path from feed to website or DM. Most stagnant accounts have 2–4 fixable issues; the audit gives you a prioritized list.
How much does Instagram management cost?
Strategy + audit project: $1,500. Monthly retainer for content strategy + 12 Reels scripted/month + analytics: from $1,200/month. Full content production (you provide raw footage): from $2,500/month. No long-term contracts.
