Strategy summary
What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.
TL;DR
Process reels drive engagement, averaging 25 comments per post versus 20 on images, with post 8 at 31. Lean harder into timelapses of charcoal mark-making; they reveal your hand and build loyalty faster than static teases. Cadence at 2.3 posts/week starves growth for a 6k follower art account targeting collectors. Carousels like post 1's 432 likes prove series drops convert views to saves, yet they comprise just 23% of feed. Biggest leak is inconsistency; space teases too thin, diluting hype. Double process reels to 60% while hitting 4 posts/week to reclaim momentum. Collectors respond to presence over polish.
Working
5- Process reels generate 25+ comments consistently.
- Numbered series carousels hit 150+ likes.
- Teasers build series anticipation effectively.
- Hashtags like #ContemporaryArt aid discoverability.
- Comments thrive on process questions.
Risks
5- Boost cadence from 2.3 to 4 posts per week.
- Reduce ellipsis-only captions that limit interaction.
- Vary series themes beyond faces and fragments.
- Limit single images to under 20% of feed.
- Space major drops every 6 weeks.
Ship next
5- Ramp to 4 posts weekly starting with process reels on Saturdays.
- Launch next series carousel like post 1 with 10+ slides.
- Test questions in every 3rd caption to boost comments 20%.
- Credit inspirations more to tap UGC networks.
- Plan 1 exhibition recap quarterly.
