How does a climbing-gyms brand get its UGC in front of more buyers?

Climbing-gyms brands scale Instagram by owning many accounts, not one: a managed fleet of real iPhones that posts across dozens of brand-owned Instagram accounts every day, run for you from one dashboard.

The number you watch

Trial signups per week falls as owned reach grows, because owned accounts don't re-charge per impression. TIDE runs the fleet of real iPhones; you watch the metric move.
