Ahhhh back in the days where my biggest problem in life was when mum's friends would call the house phone and the internet would disconnect. Or how much trouble I would be in because the street lights had been on for 15 mins and I wasn't home yet 😆 I can definitely say that I'm thankful that I experienced both sides of life with and without technology 😉 📸 My goodness was my mum channelling Cyndi Lauper with my style 😜

Allow me to reintroduce myself... I’m Brooke Marangos, Director and Founder of @auto_talent_aus, a global awar winning automotive recruitment agency built from genuine industry passion, lived experience and a love for connecting the right people with the right opportunities. Auto Talent has proudly been recognised as Recruiter of the Year Automotive Australia 2025, Best Recruiter VIC Automotive in 2023, 2024 and 2025, Best Agency VIC Automotive in 2024. On a global level, Auto Talent was also awarded Best Automotive Recruitment Agency Australia 2025, while I was honoured to receive Automotive Recruitment Consultant of the Year Australia 2025, Automotive Visionary of the Year Australia 2025 and the Client Service Excellence Award Australia 2025. But before Auto Talent, there was the journey that shaped everything. My career started with the powerhouse that is @rycofilters, where I began in Customer Service before becoming their very first female Territory Manager. Nearly 5 years in filtration, workshops and the aftermarket gave me the foundation, knowledge and passion that still drives me today. From there, I joined @bursonautoparts as a Sales Representative, building my parts knowledge, customer relationships and learning from some of the best mentors in the business. Then came the dealership and OE side of the industry, with Toyota Motor Corporation Australia, where I worked as a Specialist Case Advisor and gained another valuable layer of automotive experience. At one point, I thought maybe there was more to life than auto... Turns out, there isn’t. A move into recruitment brought everything full circle. After working as an Account Manager and Talent Acquisition & Sales Executive, automotive clients naturally started finding their way to me. So I merged my two passions and Auto Talent was born 🩷 Today, I’m proud to be part of an industry I genuinely love, supporting automotive businesses, candidates and brands across Australia. From workshops to boardrooms, from parts to recruitment, it's been an incredible journey so far and we're only just getting started. Fuelled by passion. #introduction #brookemarangos #auto_talent_aus #bosslady #auto

Strategy summary

What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.

TL;DR

Post 15's 30,597 likes proves personal nostalgia crushes it, outpacing all else by orders of magnitude and pulling 345 comments. Yet at 2.2 posts/week, the account leaks growth potential in a niche hungry for consistent automotive content. Lady Torque promos (30% share) reliably push partners but lack the viral spark of lifestyle shares (25%). Motorsports recaps (25%) retain core fans during events. Ramp personal content to hook broader followers while stabilizing TV and racing pillars for steady gains. Low UGC at 0% keeps feed authentic but misses collab virality.

Working

5
  • Personal reels explode: post 15 hit 30k likes with nostalgia.
  • Lady Torque pillar steady at 30% with partner integrations.
  • Motorsport timely posts cluster weekends for fan peaks.
  • Authentic partner thanks build loyalty without UGC.
  • High comment rates on events like post 15 (345).

Risks

5
  • Cadence too low at 2.2/week; inconsistent timing hurts algorithm.
  • Few viral hooks beyond personal; reuse race recap templates.
  • Limited variety in formats; more carousels for recaps.
  • No calls-to-action in 40% of posts like racing updates.
  • Underpost business pillar; leverage awards more.

Ship next

5
  • Double posting cadence to 5/week focusing on weekends.
  • Test 2 personal reels/week like post 15.
  • Batch 3-5 Lady Torque sponsor reels per episode.
  • Run poll on favorite racing moments for engagement.
  • Collaborate with one new partner per month.
