Guests choose a resort with their eyes
A family planning a hill-station holiday will often look up a resort on Instagram before they book. They want to see the rooms, the grounds, the food and the views — and they want it to look like a real place, not a brochure.
Keeping an Instagram account like that going is a lot of work. Someone has to plan what to post, be at the property to shoot it, design it, edit it, write it, get it approved and post it on a steady schedule.
Most resort teams are busy running the resort. Sterling Kodai Valley gave the whole job to us, with their team approving each piece before it goes live.
Six parts of the job, one team
Everything between "what should we post?" and the post going live.
Instagram strategy and planning
We set the content direction, how often to post, and the mix of photos, carousels and reels that suits the resort.
Resort photography and video
We plan each shoot, then capture photos and video on-site at the resort, made for social media from the start.
Creative design
Instagram posts, carousels and reel covers designed from the resort’s own photos, in one steady visual style.
Reel production
We come up with reel ideas, write scripts and voiceover copy where needed, and edit the resort footage into short videos.
Caption writing
Clear captions with the words travellers search for, and a call to action where it fits.
Account management
We send each piece for review, collect the resort’s approval, then schedule and publish it.
How a post gets from idea to Instagram
The same steps every time, so nothing is posted without a plan or without approval.
- 01
Plan the content
We decide what the account should show next and in which format, so the feed stays varied and has a purpose.
- 02
Plan and run the shoot
Before we arrive, we list every shot we need. On-site, we capture the photos and video needed for posts, carousels and reels.
- 03
Design and edit
Photos become single posts and carousels. Footage becomes reels, with scripts or voiceover where they help, and a designed cover for each one.
- 04
Write the captions
Each post gets a short, natural caption with relevant keywords and, where it fits, a next step for the reader.
- 05
Review and approve
The resort team sees every piece before it goes out. We make their changes and get a clear yes.
- 06
Schedule and publish
Approved content is scheduled and published on the account, keeping a steady posting rhythm.

What resort owners can take from this
Plan the shoot before the shoot
A shot list made in advance means each visit gives you content for many posts, not just a few nice pictures.
Approval keeps the brand safe
Every piece is seen by the resort team before it is posted. Nothing surprises the owner.
One team, fewer gaps
When planning, shooting, editing and posting sit with one team, the account does not stall between handovers.
