I developed Instagram strategy and content for a UK-based Pakistani fashion retailer, connecting product discovery with styling, trust and purchase questions. The reported 90-day account period recorded 27,723 views, 1,013 profile visits and +122 net followers.
The July giveaway ad campaign is reported separately, alongside the wider content strategy.

THE DECISIONS BEHIND THE CONTENT
Challenge
Help a UK Pakistani fashion retailer stand out on Instagram while addressing the questions that can slow a clothing purchase.
Insight
Discovery alone is only one part of the buying decision. Styling, product details and clear answers help customers decide whether an outfit suits their occasion.
Response
Use Reels for discovery, product and styling content for consideration, and Stories and clear DM prompts to support the next step. Keep UK and Pakistani-fashion keywords natural.
02 · STRATEGY
Content strategy
The strategy followed the buying journey. Reels and occasion-led hooks supported discovery; product details and styling supported evaluation; Stories and clear DM prompts helped interested shoppers ask questions.
Relevant UK and Pakistani-fashion keywords connected the content with audience searches. The intended measures were non-follower views, saves, profile visits and enquiries; the available account evidence is reported below.

06 · PERFORMANCE & EVIDENCE
Results, with context
The 90-day account overview recorded 27,723 views, 1,013 profile visits and +122 net followers, with 55% of views from non-followers. The supplied follower counts rose from approximately 374 to 496, an increase of around 32.6%.
These are mixed organic and paid account totals. The measurement window extends beyond the January–August management period, so it is reported separately from my project dates.

Across the supplied 90-day account overview: 27,723 views, 1,013 profile visits and +122 net followers. Views and visits include organic and paid activity.
Indicative non-paid estimates are 22,317 views (27,723 minus 5,406 ad views) and 789 profile visits (1,013 minus 224 ad visits). These assume matching definitions and comparable reporting windows; the screenshots do not establish a complete attribution split. Subtracting 62 ad-attributed follows from +122 net growth does not establish organic follower growth.

What I learned
Product information and styling give customers support beyond the initial reveal.
Reels and Stories serve different stages, so each needs a clear purpose.
Overall account growth and ad-attributed follows need separate reporting; net growth cannot be cleanly split by subtraction.
What comes next
Compare occasion-led hooks across Reels and carousels.
Expand styling and product-detail content around recurring questions.
Track DM enquiries and purchase steps alongside reach and profile activity.
Let’s create content with direction.
Content strategy, social SEO and product storytelling for brands that want to make discovery more useful to their customers.
