Q3 AT A GLANCE
Colorful cocktails & brightly lit lifestyle shots were the focus of our July, August, & September content calendar. We introduced the "St. Elder Cocktail Menu," a first of the month post with an overview of what cocktails we'll be featuring throughout the month as a teaser of content to come.
Reels continue to dominate our cocktail content strategy, and they are performing as well as ever. Instagram had multiple updates. The biggest change was the shift in video content, which is now exclusively shared as the Reel format and this includes all past videos, stop motion and animated graphics.
Instagram also launched the ability to boost Reels, which will improve our social spending strategy moving forward.

Q3 KEY INSTAGRAM TAKEAWAYS
MORE REELS, MORE ENGAGEMENT
Reels continue to be a priority to our social calendar. In Q3, we increased frequency and format. Cocktail Reels continue to dominate overall engagement and post interactions
Pay to play
In Q3, engagement rate across all industries fell 30% to .67%, meaning less user activity. This makes sponsored posts more crucial than ever. It's worth noting that this rate is still much higher than Facebook (.064%) & Twitter (.037%).
