How We Generated 2M+ Monthly Views Using Instagram Reels

The Situation

A leading D2C skincare brand had an Instagram account with 50K followers but was experiencing declining reach and zero traction on Reels. Their in-house team was producing 4-5 posts per month with an engagement rate under 1%. They needed a scalable content system, not just better editing.
