What Changes for the Business
- Weekly calendars are drafted for each client account.
- Long videos are cut into short clips with captions.
- Ghostwritten posts match each client's voice and get approved before posting.
- Relevant trends become post ideas while they are fresh.
Where It Slips Today
- Every new client adds hours of planning and drafting.
- Trends are spotted too late to use.
- Clip editing becomes the bottleneck.
The Setup
- Set each client's voice. Collect past posts and brand rules per client.
- Plan the calendar. Let the content team draft the week for approval.
- Add clips. Feed long videos to the clipping bots.
- Watch trends. Get daily trend ideas matched to each client.
Start with the first step, run it for a few weeks, then add the next. Bots draft, you approve.
