Social Media Content in Illovo — the craft

Native format matters

A reel is not a landscape video with black bars. Every vertical asset is shot vertical on a Sony A7 IV with the sensor cropped to 9:16, or on an iPhone 15 Pro Max where the native platform look serves the story better. Reels open with a scroll-stopper hook in the first 0.8 seconds, cut on the beat, and end on a clear next-action prompt. Grid stills are shot square where they will land on the Instagram grid, and portrait where they will run as a Story or a LinkedIn carousel. TikTok gets its own edit — faster cuts, punchier text overlay, native-feeling music — because a Reel cross-posted to TikTok looks like a Reel cross-posted to TikTok, and it under-performs.

Captions, hooks and scheduling handover

Every asset ships with a caption, an alternate opener line, and five to eight hashtag suggestions grouped into reach tiers — big-reach discovery hashtags, mid-tier niche hashtags, and small-community tags for engagement. Captions are written to the brand voice we agree at the brief stage — never a generic emoji-heavy line that could belong to any account. The full month lands in a Notion database or a Google Sheet with asset preview, caption, hook, hashtags and suggested go-live date; the client's VA or in-house social manager can schedule straight from that view without re-writing anything. Scheduling itself is available as an add-on where the team wants us to publish for them.
