Brief 1: The Inconsistency Trap (Instagram Carousel)

Slide Content Visual Direction
1 Hook: The real reason you’re inconsistent on Instagram has nothing to do with your work ethic. Layout: Centered text, large headline font size. Use --highlight for the words "real reason" to create contrast. Background: --navy. Text: --white.
2 It’s because you’re starting from a blank page every day. You’re relying on willpower to create, and willpower is a finite resource. Layout: Standard text block. Emphasize "willpower is a finite resource" in a slightly larger font or with --highlight color. Background: --ghost. Text: --navy.
3 The fix? Stop creating. Start executing a system. A system doesn’t need willpower. It just needs to be run. Layout: Use a visual element like a line or arrow to separate "Stop creating" from "Start executing a system." Make "system" the hero word on this slide. Background: --navy. Text: --white.
4 A real content system has three parts: 1. A clear strategy (what you say). 2. A content architecture (how you say it). 3. An execution rhythm (when you say it). Layout: Numbered list. Use icons for each of the three parts (e.g., a brain for strategy, a blueprint for architecture, a calendar for rhythm). Background: --ghost. Text: --navy.
5 CTA: If you’re tired of the blank page, you have two options. 1. Build a system. 2. Have a system built for you. We do both. Link in bio to see how. Layout: Strong CTA. Use a button-like visual for "Link in bio to see how." Add the Scroll Media logo at the bottom. Background: --navy. Text: --white.

Brief 2: The ROI Question (Instagram Story)

Slide Content Visual Direction
1 Quick question for service business owners… Layout: Simple, centered text. Background: --azure. Text: --white.
2 Poll: Do you know the direct ROI of your social media efforts right now? (Poll sticker will be added in Instagram) Layout: Leave space for the poll sticker. Headline text should be large and clear. Background: --ghost. Text: --navy.
3 If you answered #2 or #3, you’re not alone. The problem isn’t you — it’s that you’re tracking the wrong metrics. Layout: Standard text block. Background: --navy. Text: --white.
4 Vanity metrics (likes, followers) don’t pay the bills. Business metrics do (leads, inquiries, discovery calls booked). Layout: Use a strikethrough on "likes, followers." Use --highlight for "leads, inquiries, discovery calls booked." Background: --ghost. Text: --navy.
5 CTA: Tomorrow, I’m breaking down the only 3 metrics that matter for service businesses on Instagram. Turn on notifications. Layout: Add a visual cue for notifications (e.g., a bell icon). Background: --azure. Text: --white.

Brief 3: The Only 3 Metrics That Matter (Instagram Reel)

Reel Cover (reel_cover_metrics.png):
- Headline: The Only 3 Metrics That Matter
- Sub-headline: (for service businesses on Instagram)
- Visual: A striking, high-contrast photo of Chase.
- Branding: Scroll Media logo in a corner.

On-Screen Text Graphics (Transparent PNGs):
- text_graphic_1.png: 1. Inbound DMs
- text_graphic_2.png: 2. Profile Visits
- text_graphic_3.png: 3. Link in Bio Clicks
- text_graphic_4.png: Everything else is noise.
- text_graphic_5.png: You don’t have a content problem. You have a CTA problem.

Direction: The text graphics should be clean, bold, and easy to read. Use Inter Black. They will be overlaid on the video, so they need to have high contrast (e.g., white text with a subtle dark outer glow or background). The editing will be fast-paced, so the text needs to be instantly legible.


Brief 4: The Funnel-Aware Framework (LinkedIn Post)

Page Content Visual Direction
1 Hook: Your Instagram content is failing for one simple reason: you’re asking for the sale on the first date. Layout: Large, bold headline. Background: --navy. Text: --white.
2 The Funnel-Aware Framework: TOFU / MOFU / BOFU Layout: Create a simple funnel graphic. Top section labeled "TOFU: Attract," middle labeled "MOFU: Educate," bottom labeled "BOFU: Convert." Use icons for each stage. Background: --ghost. Text: --navy.
3 Most businesses spend 90% of their time at the bottom of the funnel, talking to 1% of their audience. Flip the ratio. Layout: Use a visual to represent the 90/10 split. Maybe a pie chart or a bar graph that’s dramatically skewed. Background: --navy. Text: --white.
4 CTA: This is the framework we build for every client. See the system. Layout: Strong CTA. Add the Scroll Media logo and a clear call to action to "See the system in the comments." Background: --azure. Text: --white.
