There are posts alll over Instagram right now about how views and reach are down.

Often we think it’s enough to just to throw up a post about what we're doing, or share our products and services.

We've been seeing a lot of these two camps:
⛺️ “Just keep showing up"
Or
⛺️ "I'm thinking of quitting Instagram / social media all together"

So we keep throwing post spaghetti at the wall and... crickets.

Or we ditch the platform altogether because what worked years ago isn't working now, leaving brand awareness, money, and impact on the table.

The thing is, if you want your results to glow up, your strategy's got to as well!

While you’re worrying about the perfect picture or video to post, soul mate level customers and clients are looking for someone who offers exactly what you offer, in the way only YOU deliver it. ❤️‍🔥

In 2024, a mix of quality brand photos (reflecting the quality of your offer) AND simple yet intriguing video (show us real life!) are your ideal mix. And the strategy on how you share them is 🔑.

It doesn't have to be complicated, but showing up the old way isn't going to bring you new results.

So at next Wednesdays Content Crush event here in Portland, Oregon (7/31), we're bringing you

🔮fresh brand photos
🔮videos for Reels, TikTok, and beyond
🔮plus the strategies that are getting our Social Media Management clients multiplied reach and new business.

This is an intimate event like we've never done before. At a private residence in SE Portland, Oregon, with high-level networking, for a fraction of the price of having your own brand shoot!

Ready to refresh your photos, Reels, and strategy to set yourself up for success in the back half of 2024 and beyond?

🎟️ Get your ticket for Content Crush 7/31, 4-7 pm.

Spots are $333, and $111 off for Members.

Head to https://www.styleopal.com/events/p/content-crush- for full details and tickets. DM us or comment if you have questions!

These Barbies are telling you, once again, to use memes for your business. 😂

We can show you how, or better yet, do it for you. 💅🏼⁠
⁠
The numbers on meme performance speak for themselves!

And not just on social. In your newsletters, ads campaigns, print materials, + more.
⁠
Who else is loving this genius poster meme trend? Will you see the movie? 👠

We consulted the disco ball, and your 2023 is looking bright. 🎥🪩 We're booking photo, Reels, and commercial shoots for Quarter One (through March), and remembering a few of our favorites along the way like these gems shot on a playground for .Kay. 🛝⁠✨

Having an online business doesn't mean your shoot has to be at in a boring white-walls-and-a-coffe-cup setting.
⁠
➕ All of our brand or marketing photo shoots now come with vertical video to use for your Reels, TikToks, Pinterest, YouTube Shorts, and Stories.

One of the best ways to organically grow your reach and following right now? Create. Shareable. Content. ✨📣⁠ Though they aren't visible to the public like a "Like" (that's why we call that a vanity metric), a "Share" is at least 3X more valuable for your business.⁠
⁠
Share something so valuable, inspiring, or entertaining that the reader thinks "I can't just keep this to myself."⁠
⁠
Think about it: When new Followers find your profile, how did they find you?⁠
⁠
If they found you organically, it's likely from a shared post! 👁️⁠
⁠
We always keep shareable content in mind for our Social Media Management clients, content creation clients, + beyond.⁠
⁠
Because in order to buy from you or book with you, customers have to know you exist in the first place.⁠
