Organic Social Growth & Content Operations
Overview
Managed Instagram content strategy and account operations for 10+ local business accounts across restaurant, bakery, food, and leisure categories.
The work focused on helping small businesses build local visibility through consistent content planning, short-form video, caption writing, hashtag strategy, influencer collaboration, and organic audience growth.
I approached Instagram as a local discovery channel. The goal was not only to post content, but to help nearby audiences understand each business, engage with the account, and take action, such as following, saving, sharing, visiting, or trying a featured menu or service.
