Social Media Strategy Case Study: Food Industry Consultant

The Challenge

This client is a consultant in the food industry, ready to build her personal brand and establish a stronger presence on Instagram. Her page had been mostly inactive, and she needed a clear strategy focused on organic growth, without paid ads.

The goal was simple: increase brand awareness, reach new people in her industry, and create a consistent content flow that could be sustained long-term.


The Solution

I developed a tailored three-month strategy designed around her goals, budget, and audience. The focus was on creating a content plan that balanced visibility and engagement while setting her up for consistent growth.

What I did:

  • Refined her Instagram bio and captions with SEO keywords for better discoverability
  • Defined content pillars to create consistent, clear messaging
  • Clarified her brand voice and tone for captions and stories
  • Created reusable templates for Reels and carousel posts
  • Combined short-form video, static posts, and stories to reach a wider audience
  • Trained the client to manage content confidently going forward

The strategy was entirely organic — no paid ads or boosted posts.


The Results

1) Audience Growth & Reach

We focused on reaching new, relevant audiences each month. By March, the growth was clear.

  • January: 3,589 accounts reached (+135% non-follower reach)
  • February: 2,006 accounts reached — a slower month, but steady engagement
  • March: 15,155 accounts reached (+804% non-follower reach, +12.2% follower reach)
  • Impressions in March increased by +265%, hitting 19,072

Why it matters: By the third month, content wasn’t just seen — it was reaching the right audience outside her follower base.

2) Engagement Improvements

We tracked consistent interaction growth, proving the content was resonating:

  • January: 344 content interactions (+17%)
  • February: 279
  • March: 408 (+46.2% from February)

Why it matters: A clear upward trend in engagement signals that the content strategy was working, even during slower months.

3) Profile Visits & Website Action

One of the key goals was turning content views into action, getting people to the profile and the website:

  • Profile visits: +32% (Jan), +10% (Feb), +50.9% (Mar)
  • Link in bio clicks: +100% (Feb), +150% (Mar)
  • Profile activity in March grew by +51.8%

Why it matters: Growth wasn’t limited to likes and views — it translated into more people visiting her website and learning about her services.

  • A clear, repeatable content strategy she can now manage on her own
