1. Hero Account = Brand Museum
The Instagram main account is not a promo wall — it is a 'brand museum': curated 9-grid hero, narrative Reels, organized Highlights.
2. Long-term KOC Model
3-6 month partnerships outperform one-shots by 4-6x in attributable sales. Use a hybrid of fixed fee + commission + quarterly product exclusives.
3. Cadence
4 Reels/week + 2 Carousels/week + 3-5 Stories/day. Reels acquire, Carousels educate, Stories retain.
