Strategy summary
What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.
TL;DR
Rally recap carousels dominate engagement, with post 29 exploding to 32,552 likes and post 23 close at 32,066. These showcase youth spirit and process transparency, fueling patriotic shares among aspirants. FAQ reels like post 4 (19,425 likes) reliably convert curiosity to interaction, proving official info hooks youth effectively. Yet 2.3 posts/week throttles reach, starving the algorithm of fresh content. Rally visuals paired with FAQs form a proven flywheel for growth. Upping cadence while protecting pillar mix will reclaim momentum. Anti-tout posts reinforce trust but underperform visually.
Working
5- Rally carousels crush likes over 30k.
- FAQ reels spark 4k+ likes consistently.

Risks
