What we're seeing

โœ•
No Reels. The highest-reach format on Instagram is completely untapped.
โœ•
No Stories cadence. The trust-building layer of the platform is absent.
โœ•
Inconsistent posting rhythm. The algorithm doesn't reward sporadic accounts โ€” no rhythm means no compound growth.
โœ•
Project work without narrative. Beautiful final deliverables, but no story around the brief, the problem, or the outcome.
โœ•
No defined IVP. Content written for everyone resonates with no one. We need a specific target before we write a single caption.
โœ•
No Social SEO. Captions and hashtags aren't optimized โ€” Parachute is invisible in search for "brand strategy studio" or "creative agency Dallas."
Our Read โ€” SPARK Stage

The foundation doesn't exist yet. That's actually good.

There's no bad infrastructure to undo. We build this right from the start โ€” which means the compounding begins immediately once the system is live.

Build IVP from scratch โ€” define exactly who Parachute is speaking to
Activate Reels cadence to unlock Instagram's distribution engine
Create a project showcase framework that tells the full story
Layer in Stories for trust and behind-the-scenes process content
Set 90-day Spark-stage benchmarks โ€” not arbitrary follower goals
Build Social SEO into every post from day one using the TAM Ladder
Content Benchmark

What best-in-class looks like for creative studios

These are the accounts doing Instagram right in the brand strategy and creative studio space. We've broken down exactly why each post works โ€” and how we apply the same logic to Parachute.

TOFU โ€” Attract
@studiokoto ยท 278K followers
Project reveal carousels showing the full scope of a rebrand. Visual-first, transformation-led. The highest-reach format for creative studios โ€” applied to Parachute's backlog of 15โ€“20 projects.
MOFU โ€” Build Trust
@thisiscollins ยท 130K followers
Founder POV posts sharing a perspective on what matters. Opens with a client insight, signals strategic depth. Builds the trust that project showcases alone can't. Applied as Parachute founder POV content.
BOFU โ€” Convert
@pentagramdesign ยท 1M followers
Project deep-dives showing the concept, the strategy, and the rationale โ€” not just the final output. Builds a following of ideal clients who want to understand brand strategy, not just admire it.

The pattern: The best creative studio accounts don't just post finished work. They post the thinking behind it. That intellectual process is what earns followers, builds trust, and attracts aligned clients. Parachute's content system is built entirely around this framework.

Ideal Viewer Profile

Before we write a single caption,
we build this.

The IVP is the strategic foundation of everything we create. Most agencies skip this step. We consider it non-negotiable. Here's a preview of what we build for Parachute.

๐Ÿ’ผ

The Ambitious Founder

Primary IVP ยท Parachute Studio ยท Inbound Client Acquisition

Preview
Who They Are
30โ€“50 year old founder, CEO, or marketing director at a growth-stage company. Revenue $1Mโ€“$20M. They've outgrown their current brand โ€” or never invested in a real one. They know their business is strong, but their brand doesn't reflect it. They're actively looking for a creative partner who thinks strategically, not just executes.
Core Motivators
  • Wants a brand that matches the ambition of their business
  • Looking for a strategic partner, not just a design vendor
  • Values clarity, speed, and execution over endless revisions
  • Wants to be proud of how their brand shows up in the world
Key Obstacles
  • Doesn't know Parachute Studio exists โ€” no Social SEO footprint yet
  • Has been burned by agencies that overpromised and underdelivered
  • Skeptical about whether a boutique studio can handle their scale
  • Hasn't seen enough proof of Parachute's work to feel confident reaching out
How This Maps to Our Content Strategy
TOFU
Project showcase Reels reach them while they're passively scrolling. The quality of the work is the hook โ€” stops the scroll before they know who Parachute is.
MOFU
Case study carousels, founder POV posts, and behind-the-scenes strategy content build the trust needed to consider reaching out.
BOFU
Client results content, direct CTAs to book a discovery call, and Stories-based engagement convert qualified followers into inbound inquiries.
๐Ÿ“„
This is a preview. Your full IVP โ€” including secondary avatars, complete keyword mapping, content format recommendations per avatar, and objection-handling strategy โ€” is delivered as part of your Month 1 Strategy deliverable.

Proven Results

We've done this before.
Here's the proof.

Real results from real clients โ€” all founder-led service businesses where expertise, trust, and credibility drive buying decisions. Every number pulled directly from Instagram Insights.

209%
Reach growth in 90 days from a standing start โ€” account went from stagnant to scaling fast with a system built from scratch.
Boutique Fitness Studio
57.9%
Best Reel view rate โ€” educational authority content driving consultation inquiries for a founder-led expertise business.
Clinical Skincare & Aesthetics
10.45%
Best engagement rate in our portfolio โ€” community content converting passive followers to inbound clients.
Specialty Service Business

Why these results translate to Parachute

Every client above runs a business where the work is the proof โ€” and trust drives the sale.

Fitness studios. Skincare clinics. Specialty service businesses. Not one of them sells a product off a shelf. They sell expertise, results, and relationships โ€” the exact same dynamic that drives Parachute's client acquisition. The content system we build for each of them is the same system we'd build for you. Distribution changes. The logic doesn't.

The Engagement

How a Scroll Media partnership works

Every engagement follows the same foundation-first structure. No shortcuts, no skipped steps. The first 90 days establish the infrastructure that compounds over 12โ€“24 months.

1
Month 1 โ€” Strategy & Foundation ยท Flat fee $1,917
Build the infrastructure. Don't post yet.
Before a single piece of content goes live, we build the strategic foundation every post will stand on. This is the work most agencies skip โ€” and why most agency content underperforms.
  • Ideal Viewer Profile (IVP) โ€” define exactly who Parachute is speaking to
  • Content architecture โ€” the TOFU/MOFU/BOFU mix calibrated to your stage
  • Full TAM Ladder keyword bank for Social SEO
  • Project showcase framework โ€” repeatable structure for your backlog
  • Profile optimization (bio, highlights, link-in-bio)
  • First content calendar delivered and approved
  • First script batch delivered โ€” client content day scheduled
2
Months 2 & 3 โ€” Execution & Testing
Execute the system. Learn from every post.
The strategy goes live. We deploy the script-led content model โ€” your team captures raw footage from our monthly batched script packets. We handle creative direction, editing, and publishing.
  • 3 feed posts/week + 2 Stories/week
  • We own: strategy, scripting, creative direction, editing, publishing
  • You own: raw footage capture (30โ€“60 min per monthly batch)
  • Monthly performance review โ€” what's working, what's being adjusted
  • Bi-weekly 30-min touchpoint call
  • Testing log: every format, hook, and topic tracked for signal
โ†’
Month 3+ โ€” The Long Game
Compound. Scale. Build the partnership.
At the end of Month 3, we review performance against benchmarks and align on a 6 or 12-month roadmap. By this point we know exactly what Parachute's audience responds to โ€” and we use that signal to accelerate growth. Organic social compounds over 12โ€“24 months. We build with that timeline in mind from day one.
  • 90-day performance report with growth trajectory analysis
  • Quarterly strategy review call
  • 6 or 12-month partnership roadmap presented and aligned on
  • Content compounding โ€” older posts still driving reach and profile visits
Production Model

The script-led remote model

Because Parachute is in Dallas and we're in Cincinnati, we run a script-led production model in place of our standard on-site shoots. This isn't a workaround โ€” it's a better fit for a founder-led creative studio.

Creative directors and brand strategists understand visual direction. When your team executes our scripts with your own camera, the content carries an authenticity that produced agency content can't replicate. It's the difference between a brand that talks about creativity and one that visibly lives it.

Founder-led studios with strong visual instincts execute scripts exceptionally well โ€” and audiences respond to it. The content feels like it came from inside the studio because it did.

Revision structure

Month 1 (strategy) allows up to 3 rounds as we calibrate voice. Month 2+ is capped at 2 rounds per batch, with feedback required within 48 hours. This keeps the system efficient and maintains publishing momentum.

Investment

Built within your budget

Your stated range is $2.5Kโ€“$5K/month. Both options fit. We recommend the Growth tier โ€” it's the engagement structure behind every result we've shown you in this proposal.

Essentials Tier
$2,975 / month
2 posts/week + Stories โ€” for a lighter cadence or tighter budget.
What's included
  • Full IVP definition and content architecture (Month 1)
  • Monthly batched script packets (2ร—/week)
  • Creative direction + editing
  • Publishing and caption writing
  • Community engagement management

  • Dedicated account manager
Start with Essentials

Month 1 โ€” Strategy & Foundation

$1,917
Flat fee, applies to both tiers. No posts during Month 1 โ€” this is infrastructure. Month 1 is milestone-based, not calendar-based. We move at the pace of your feedback. Either way, you walk away with a complete Instagram strategy document for Parachute Studio. No lock-in, no penalization for a slower ramp.
Why Scroll Media

What makes us different

We work with a specific type of client. Founder-led, service-based, with work worth showing. Parachute fits that exactly.

๐ŸŽฏ

Service businesses only

We don't work with e-commerce or lifestyle brands. Every system we've built is purpose-built for businesses where expertise and trust drive the sale โ€” studios, clinics, consultancies, practices.

โš™๏ธ

A structured testing system

We run a structured format testing protocol on every account. Every hook, format, and topic is tracked as a signal. After 60 days, we know exactly what Parachute's audience responds to โ€” and that's when the content starts compounding. Most agencies post and hope. We post, measure, and optimize.

๐Ÿ“Š

Data-forward reporting

Monthly performance reports with weighted scoring across Tier 1 signals โ€” saves, shares, retention, CTR. We track what actually predicts growth, not just follower counts.

๐Ÿ”

Long-game philosophy

Organic social takes 3โ€“6 months to find its baseline and up to 24 months to compound into real business impact. We set that expectation upfront because it's the truth โ€” and we build accordingly.

โœ๏ธ

Strategy-first copy

Every hook and caption is written by a strategist. Copy is the highest-leverage output in social media โ€” we treat it that way. Chase personally reviews all hooks across the book of business.

โญ

30+ brands. 100% 5-star.

We've never lost a client to dissatisfaction. Our reputation is the single asset we protect above everything else โ€” which means your results are non-negotiable for us.
