Top-performing posts
The three posts pulling the most engagement in the last 90 days.
reel 0.31% engagedI took a chance on myself after graduation. leaving college with a finance degree and becoming a full-time artist has been exciting, but also a reminder that there’s always more to learn. I’ve been using Adobe Digital Academy to build skills outside of just my art skills , and their Social Media Content and Strategy course on Coursera has helped me become more intentional with the content I create every day. Your career doesn’t stop growing when school ends!! and neither should you. #AdobePartner @adobe

Strategy summary
What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.
TL;DR
Creator growth reels tied to Adobe Digital Academy are the engagement engine, with post 19 (6,580 likes) and post 3 (3,302 likes) proving the formula. At 2.3 posts/week, low cadence leaks massive reach in the creative niche where consistency wins. Pillars center learning (45%) but diversify well with careers and fun hooks like post 13 (5,168 likes) balancing promo fatigue. Boost to 5 posts/week on Tuesdays/Thursdays using signature patterns to scale UGC at 10% for authenticity.
Working
5- Personal testimonials crush engagement, post 19 at 6580 likes.
- Interactive quizzes go viral, post 13 with 5168 likes.
- Intern stories build community, consistent 30+ comments.
- Digital Academy hooks reused effectively 8+ times.
- Event teasers drive actions like registrations.
Risks
5- Cadence too low at 2.3 posts per week limits momentum.
- Overreliance on Digital Academy promos risks repetition.
- Few tool-specific deep dives beyond Firefly.
- Limited variety in formats beyond reels.
- Underuse of carousels for storytelling depth.
Ship next
5- Ramp to 5 posts/week targeting Tuesdays and Thursdays.
