Strategy summary

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

TL;DR

Player hero reels are the engagement rocket, with post 8's Rodri clip hitting 981k likes and post 16's victory post exploding to 2.43M likes. Multilingual captions amplify global reach, pulling 4k+ comments on top plays like post 21. Match-day clusters dominate feed at 60% share via pillars like Player Heroes and Match Results. But 2.3 posts/week starves growth on 148M followers; algorithm favors consistency. Ramp cadence to benchmark 7/week while leaning into Sunday peaks for max velocity. Multilingual hooks and stats patterns sustain momentum beyond games.

Working

5
  • Match highlights crush with 1M+ likes on posts 13,15,20.
  • Player spotlights like post 8 drive 2k+ comments.
  • Pre-match carousels build hype on posts 25,26.
  • Multilingual captions engage international fans.
  • Reels outperform carousels in speed and shares.

Risks

5
  • Boost cadence beyond 2.3 posts/week to feed algorithm.
  • Add more fan polls like post 4 for comments.
  • Diversify with training clips to fill off-days.
  • Incorporate subtle UGC to build community.
  • Extend basketball content beyond post 12.

Ship next

5
