Strategy summary

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

TL;DR

Fight hype carousels are the engagement engine, smashing 4418 likes on post 6 despite just 3674 followers. These bilingual promos tap event audiences, dwarfing personal posts. Yet 0.4 posts/week leaks momentum, as peaks like posts 8,10,12 (1000+ likes) vanish into silence gaps. Victory stories spark comments (post 0: 13), proving fans crave the journey. Triple cadence to 3/week on Thursdays to sustain buzz. Emotional hooks thanking coach Marcelo recur in winners, bonding followers. Lean harder here while fixing inconsistency to scale from niche MMA star to breakout.

Working

5
  • Fight promos explode reach like post 6's 4418 likes.
  • Coach thanks drive comments in posts 2,5,27.
  • Victory recaps build deep loyalty.
  • Gear showcases perform steadily post 25.
  • High comment rates on emotional content.

Risks

5
  • Boost frequency beyond 0.4 posts per week.
  • Add more personal reels beyond carousels.
  • Reduce low-engagement misc posts.
  • Vary bilingual captions for wider reach.
  • Fix date inconsistencies in promo timing.

Ship next

5
  • Post 3x weekly with fight hype leading.
  • Test reels on best days for quick wins.
  • Batch coach tributes around birthdays.
  • Partner with events for co-posts.
  • Track engagement on new gear showcases.
