Bashify uses two distinct Instagram strategies. The business account acts as a polished "catalog of work," while the founder's personal account provides personality, opinion, and behind-the-scenes content. This bifurcated approach allows them to capture different audience segments with tailored content.
Stop creating separate social media accounts for different content types. Modern algorithms prioritize serving individual pieces of content to the right audience, regardless of your account's history or niche. A single high-quality post will find its viewers, making account-level siloing obsolete.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all message, brands should create hyper-relevant content for different demographics (e.g., high school football teams, working moms) on the platforms they use (e.g., TikTok, LinkedIn). This decentralized approach builds a stronger, more resilient brand than a single campaign.
Analysis of Instagram stats showed the founder that posts featuring her, sharing behind-the-scenes content, and involving customers in decisions generate the most engagement. This validates the strategy of deeply intertwining the founder's personal identity with the brand.
Contrary to the 'niche down' mantra, discussing diverse personal interests (like sports or hobbies) creates more attachment points for your audience. This broad appeal can indirectly strengthen your core business by building a multi-faceted personal brand that people connect with on different levels.
Instead of centralizing all content on one brand account, ClickUp creates an ecosystem of pages like "ClickUp Comedy" and "ClickUp Memes." These niche accounts build their own dedicated audiences and can grow faster than the main brand page, creating multiple entry points into the ClickUp universe.
A dual-brand strategy (e.g., Hims & Hers) creates deep emotional resonance by speaking to distinct audiences on personal journeys. This is more than a simple filter; it's executed efficiently via a componentized codebase, allowing for tailored experiences without halting product velocity.
Traditional strategy forces "either/or" choices due to resource constraints. On social media, where distribution is cheap, the best strategy is "and." Don't choose between two brand names or content pillars; create content for both. This allows you to test what resonates with different audience segments without artificial limitation.
You don't have to only post about your business. Create content about your personal interests (e.g., golf, TV shows). The algorithm will show it to people with similar hobbies, who then discover your business through your bio or a soft call-to-action.
Gen Z consumers curate different personas across various social channels (e.g., TikTok vs. LinkedIn), making brand positioning exponentially more complex. A brand's purpose must serve as a connective tissue, agile enough to be tweaked for different channel-specific identities while maintaining a core consistency.
The old strategy of a single brand account across multiple platforms is obsolete. A more effective modern approach is to supplement the main account with numerous persona-driven accounts (human or AI-generated). This distributed model creates a more authentic presence and multiplies the chances of content going viral.
