Overview

Increase surface area by shipping one idea across IG/FB formats in one flow without bloating your workload.

Who It’s For & Outcomes

  • One-idea multi-asset flow
  • Spec sheet for each format
  • ALT text & tagging checklist

Prerequisites

  • Creative source file(s)
  • Basic editing templates for 1:1, 4:5, 9:16

Step-by-Step

  1. Start with the idea → write one “core promise” line.
  2. Cut 9:16 for Reels/Stories; 4:5 or 1:1 for Feed; adjust pace and captions.
  3. Add ALT text and location (if relevant).
  4. Publish simultaneously (where supported) or sequence within 24 hours.
  5. Measure saves/shares and completion; keep the best variant as a template.

FAQs

Should captions differ?
Yes—short for Reels; slightly longer for Feed. Stories rely on visual text.
Sequence or simultaneous?
If simultaneous is supported, do it for launch moments; otherwise a 24h sequence works.
