I turned one finished project into a week of social media content

Posting your work online is a great way for clients to find you, but most of your best work gets one post and then sits in a folder for nobody to see.

Turns one finished piece of work into a week of platform-native social media posts.

You finish a project you're proud of. It goes on your portfolio, maybe gets one social media post on the day it launches, and then it's done. Nobody sees it again.

Posting your work online is a great way for new clients to find you. Everyone knows that. But being active on social media can be a full time job in itself. Writing posts, creating assets, adapting everything properly to work for Instagram, LinkedIn and X. So it usually doesn't get done. Your best work doesn't get seen by anyone beyond the client you produced it for.

You're leaving money on the table.

I see this in nearly every creative business I talk to. Great work, but it doesn't get enough eyeballs. Not through laziness, just through lack of time and systems.

That's something AI can fix.

How it works

You input one finished piece of work and it gets turned into a weeks worth of social media posts.

Drop in the work

The images, files or text from the project.

Answer ten questions

It asks you what any good social media manager would ask before posting your work: what was the brief, how did you approach it, the problems you solved, the constraints, the decisions, the outcome, any highlights or challenges. A quick sentence for each, it takes 5 minutes. This is what makes the posts sound like you, not like AI.

Pick where it's going

Each social media platform has a unique set criteria for what makes a high-performing post. The AI workflow is trained on the specific requirements for each, and will craft tailored posts for each.

You can choose from:

  • Instagram carousel
  • Instagram Reel
  • LinkedIn post
  • LinkedIn document
  • X thread

Get the posts back

You receive a set of posts for each platform. Each one rewards something slightly different.

The X thread opens on your best image and runs one idea per tweet.

The LinkedIn post leads with the problem you solved, because that's what the people who hire you care about.

The Instagram carousel opens on your strongest image, because that's what stops the scroll.

The Instagram carousel gets some extra attention here, because it's the one most people get wrong.

The workflow comes with an editor that opens in your browser. Your images are already laid out as slides, in the right order, with overlaid copy. You can tweak the colours, the fonts and the layout until it looks like your brand, then export the slides ready to post. No Canva, no Illustrator. Done in 30 seconds.

What it looks like IN PRACTICE

Say you've just finished a brand identity for a local coffee roaster.

You drop in six images. You answer a few questions, which takes a couple of minutes. You pick a carousel, a LinkedIn post and an X thread.

Back you get a carousel that opens on the finished packaging and walks through how you got there, which you restyle in your browser to match the work. A LinkedIn post built around the one design decision you're most proud of. A thread that tells the story tweet by tweet. And the order to post them in across the week, so they build on each other instead of going out all at once.

An entire week of social media content, produced in 10 minutes.

Why YOU NEED IT

You've already done the work. It's hands-down the most valuable marketing asset you own. And most of it is sitting in a folder, or on the portfolio page of your website - for hardly anyone to see.

You've already done the hard bit - now you just need eyeballs.

This won't make you post every day, or advise on social media strategy. What it does do is take the leg work off your plate. Each post comes out built specifically for where it's going, and it leads with the work itself.

One project gives you a week of posts. If you're producing work consistently, you'll never run out of social media content again.

Catch you next week!
