Reels are NOT the key to growth on Instagram.

According to Socialinsider (a cloud-based social media analytics tool).

Instagram carousels currently hold the highest engagement rate of any content format on the platform.

Why? Because a carousel is a retention mechanism.

Each swipe is a choice to keep going, and the algorithm tracks that choice as a signal of quality.

But not every carousel earns that swipe.

The ones that do almost always never let a slide feel finished.

Every slide ends with a reason to keep going.

That's a cliffhanger.

And this carousel used 5 of them:

1. The Cutoff - ending a slide mid-sentence.
2. The Flip - undoing what you just said.
3. The Reveal - promising a number, then holding it back.
4. The Threat - making it cost something to stop.
5. The Open Loop - ending on a question only the next slide answers.

Put these slide by slide, and more people will read your carousels till the end.

Forget the pretty visuals for a second.

What's the actual emotion your content is supposed to make someone feel? ✨

Finish this sentence:

If my content works, the person watching should feel ___.

We'll go first: understood.

Mom was doing content strategy before it was cool. 😎

She got you to eat your veggies by reminding you of who you were.

So try this the next time you create content:

Take whatever benefit you're currently selling.

Then ask yourself: "who does my audience already want to be?"

Do they want to save 12 hours a week? 🕛

Tell them they're not the kind of person who does everything themselves.

That they're smarter and more efficient. 💡

Speak to what your audience already believes themselves to be.

Save this for the next time you create content. 📌

The beauty isn't in what she's wearing. ✨

The makeup, the lighting, the styling, the camera.

They're all just pathways to the feeling she longs for.

Beauty doesn't sell jewellery, fragrance, or skincare.

It sells self-perception. 💜

Send this to whoever keeps booking "quick syncs."

The only time clients hear from us live is when we're presenting a strategy worth their attention. 💯

As for everything else, we're already on it.

We constantly give our clients progress updates before they even think to ask.

Their calendars are protected like our own.

Their time is saved for running their business. ✨

Some days Nichole has 47 browser tabs open at once.

Some days Quinton doesn't even know what day of the week it is.

Some days Bianca's bouncing between five different meetings.

We have zero interest in that 14-hour burnout life.

We just find a way to execute and sign off on time.

Even when we're not always put together.

The work always is. 🤝

We're officially diagnosed with Extreme Content Fatigue.

Chances are you have it to.

Opening social media today feels like...

Monday: "in today’s fast-paced digital landscape, synergy is key.” most likely ChatGPT. 🥱

Wednesday: the exact same audio snippet played over a video of someone pouring coffee in slow motion. ☕

Thursday: another "new hack" to trick the algorithm into thinking you're interesting. 🧙‍♂️

Goodness sake!

When did we decide it was cool to trade human connection for cheap algorithm points?

Tell us we’re not crazy.

What’s one social media trend you are completely done seeing on your feed?

If you spent a week with us, you'd learn three things.

1. We're the kind of people who laugh at the same joke three times. 😂

2. A basic day can turn into our favourite story of the month. ❤️

3. And somehow, we find a way to enjoy even the most random moments. 🤩

That's just who we are.

We don't know how else to be.

It's social media marketing.
Not social media selling.

Even your most loyal followers will tune you out if you sell on every post. 🤷‍♂️

Or worse, unfollow you completely.

Fact is nobody actually cares about your business.

They care about what it does for them.

So give them that first:
Give them a something to feel.
Teach them something new.
Solve a problem before you ask for anything.

Do that consistently, and people will start feeling like they're getting something from watching your content.

Remember this next time you create content! 📌

If you’ve ever loved something we’ve made at Freya, there’s a very good chance you’ve loved a little bit of Nichole too. ❤️

She goes all in on every project she touches.

Understands what the client wants
Reads between the lines
Knows how to pivot
And somehow still has the drive to keep the whole team moving…. fast😂🔥

Nichole, you bring so much energy & fire to everything you do and we’re so grateful for the powerful role you have played in building Freya into what it is today.

Today, we celebrate you.

Happy Birthday, Nichole! 🎉❤️

Thank you for being such an irreplaceable part of this journey.

Here’s to everything we’re building next, but most of all here's to YOU🥂🔥
