Room 77 — 30-Day Instagram Reactivation Plan

@room77podcast · Reach-first strategy · Fixes why the last calendar didn't grow followers

What we're fixing
Problem 1
Content reached existing followers only — no reach mechanics for new audiences
Problem 2
Posts assumed viewer already knew Room 77 — zero cold-audience hooks
Problem 3
No share-bait — lifestyle audience lurks privately, posts needed DM-share triggers
Problem 4
No collabs — no borrowed audiences from resorts, partners, or lifestyle accounts
Fix 1
2+ Reels/week written for someone who has never heard of Room 77
Fix 2
Every post has a reach mechanic: share trigger, collab tag, or keyword SEO caption
Fix 3
1 collab post per week with a resort or lifestyle-adjacent account
New rule
Captions keyword-optimized for Instagram search — keyword phrases in first line
30-day calendar
01
Wake the algorithm — signal to Instagram your account is alive and worth distributing
Goal: Get 3–5x your normal Reel play count. Post daily in Stories. Reply to every comment within 60 min. Re-engage dormant followers with a nostalgia/throwback hook.
Mon Reel reach post 20 years in the lifestyle. 15+ sold-out events across 4 countries. Here's what we learned that nobody tells you.

Lifestyle couples travel. They go to the resorts. They have fun. But after 20 years in the lifestyle and 15+ sold-out events as producers, we've learned something most couples don't find out until they're already there. It's not about the sex. It's about the person you become when you stop performing for everyone else. Room 77 Events. 20 years in the lifestyle. 15+ sold-out events across 4 countries. SIN 2026 is next. Follow if this hit different. 🌊
