Francesca runs Plantifully Based, a vegan comfort food brand with a recipe blog and her own cookbook, Plantiful. Instagram was where her audience actually lived, but she was doing everything herself, cooking, shooting, writing, posting, replying, and the page was not moving the way it should. She wanted someone to take the page off her hands and grow it properly, so she could stay in the kitchen where she is strongest.
I took over the day to day running of the Instagram. That meant planning what went out and when, keeping the posting steady instead of in bursts, and shaping the content around what her audience already responded to, the comfort food remakes like chicken parm with seitan, tofu parm, vegan tiramisu, homemade cottage cheese.
I also cleaned up the page itself. The name field now says what she does and who it is for, the bio says vegan comfort food, cookbook author, brand contact, and where to get the recipes, so anyone landing there knows in three seconds whether to follow. Every cover has the same look. The highlights are organised so a new visitor can find the cookbook, the recipes, and the community reposts without hunting. The link sends people to the blog, so the followers turn into readers and cookbook buyers instead of just numbers.
Then I stayed on it. Replies, community reposts, watching which formats pulled and doing more of those.
The page sits at 343,000 followers with over 1,300 posts and a verified badge, and it feeds her blog and cookbook rather than living on its own. She stopped being the social media manager for her own brand and got that time back. branding social media marketing paid ads funnel design…Francesca runs Plantifully Based, a vegan comfort food brand with a recipe blog and her own cookbook, Plantiful.
