Instagram Strategy + Content Direction for a Local Café
🧠 Overview
This project focuses on creating a warm, inviting, and community-centered Instagram strategy for a local café looking to increase foot traffic, build customer loyalty, and create a recognizable brand presence online.
The goal was to transform their social media from inconsistent posting into a space that feels like an extension of the in-store experience.
🎯 The Problem
Most local cafés struggle with:
inconsistent posting
lack of clear content direction
content that doesn’t reflect their actual vibe
not converting followers into in-store customers
This café needed a strategy that felt intentional, aesthetic, and aligned with their brand.
💡 The Strategy
We built a content strategy focused on 3 core pillars:
1. ☕ Product + Experience
coffee shots
drinks being made
cozy table setups
2. 🤍 Community + Connection
customers enjoying the space
staff moments
local shoutouts
3. 🌿 Lifestyle + Aesthetic
slow mornings
journaling + coffee
cozy vibes

increase engagement and shares
create stronger community connection
drive more in-store visits
