SOP — Social media & content
Daily execution guide for the Social Media team member. CEO sets strategy and approves campaign direction. Team executes posting, engagement, and reporting independently.
Owner: Social media staff Cycle: Daily + weekly review
P1
Vendor spotlight
Feature 1 vendor per week. Format: short video (15–30s) of their products + 1 quote. Always tag their account. Use Reels for max reach. Caption = their story in 3 sentences.
P2
Event vibes & atmosphere
Behind-the-scenes setup, crowd shots (with permission), aesthetic venue details. Aim for aspirational UGC feel. Use trending audio on Reels/TikTok. Post during or 24h after event.
P3
Culture & community
Reposts from Medan local fashion/art scene, style inspo, related subculture content. Goal: position Medan Archive as a cultural voice, not just an event account. 2x per week.

Morning engagement round
Reply to all comments and DMs from the last 24h. Like and comment on 10 accounts in our niche (vendors, local influencers, style accounts). Takes 15–20 min max.
