The Scarlett Marketing Machine

A follow-along content system for Scarlett. Film raw, in-clinic Reels and capture daily clinic images on your phone, drop them in the queue, repeat.

What this is

Scarlett is VE's front-desk content capturer. She films short, raw Reels right inside the clinic on her phone. No production, no studio, just real adjustments and real moments. This is her repeatable playbook.

The job: 2 Reels filmed and queue-ready every working day. Scarlett is in office Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so that is 6 Reels per week.

The ethos: keep it raw. First take is usually the best take. Phone footage of real patients in the real clinic beats anything polished. A bold text hook on the very first frame, readable with the sound off, is the whole job of the first second.

Scarlett does not write hooks from scratch. She pulls them from the VE Reel Playbook (20 hooks across 6 categories, with exact lines, on-screen text, and shot directions). This machine tells her which categories to film each day and how to run the day.

Daily Checklist

Run this every working day. One short batch-film block, about 20 to 30 minutes.

Pick today's 2 hooks

Open the VE Reel Playbook. Look at today's two suggested categories in the Weekly View below. Pick one hook from each category. Rotate so you are not repeating the same hook week to week.

Read the shot list for each

The playbook gives the exact shot direction per hook (close-up of the instrument, parent in frame, you to camera, and so on). Set up the simplest version of that shot. No re-shooting for polish.

Lock the on-screen text

Each playbook hook has its ON-SCREEN line in bold caps. Put that text on the very first frame so it is readable with the sound off. If the bold text is not on screen in second one, re-do the clip.

Film both clips back to back

Phone footage, raw, first take. A couple of short clips, that is it.

Name it and drop it

Film it, name the file the exact title on the calendar (each hook has a short title, shown in the Weekly View below and at the top of every playbook hook card), drop it in the VE Reels Queue folder. Same system for the daily images below: name each image its title from the image calendar and drop it in the VE Images Queue folder.

Reels go in the Reels Queue. Images go in the Images Queue. Name each image its title from the calendar, drop it in the VE Images Queue folder.

Filming consent is handled clinic-wide and is already on file for every patient, so there is no consent step for Scarlett to run. Just film.

Your Day-by-Day Crosswalk

Everything for each working day is right here, fully baked. You should not need to open the Reel Playbook separately. This week is Week 1. The two reels rotate each week (see the four-week rotation), the five images stay the same every working day, and the full say-this detail for all 20 hooks is in the Hook Bank at the bottom, so you never have to leave this page.

Which 2 reels each week

Find today's day, read across to this week's column, and film those two hooks. The full detail for every hook number is in the Hook Bank below.

Monday

Reels theme: No-Crack Instrument plus Nervous System Images theme: Prenatal focus
Different on purpose: Monday's reels and images sit on different themes. Film the two reels on instrument and nervous system, then shoot the five images on the prenatal-leaning slots below. They do not need to match.

Wednesday

Reels theme: Prenatal and Pediatric (both reels this week) Images theme: Sensory and Spectrum focus
Different on purpose: this Wednesday both reels are Prenatal and Pediatric (the locked pick that matches the email already sent), while the five images stay on the sensory and spectrum slots. Two different themes, both correct. Film the reels on prenatal and pediatric, then shoot the images on the sensory slots below.
Catch-up only: per the banner at the top, this first Wednesday you also seed two extra reels, #19 Two Docs Two Methods and #20 Talsky Tonal And KST, to build a buffer. From Week 2 on, Wednesday settles to the steady two reels in the rotation above (Prenatal and Pediatric plus Two Doctors).

Pull from the playbook

Every exact hook line, on-screen text, and shot direction lives in the VE Reel Playbook (20 hooks, 6 categories). This machine tells Scarlett which categories to film each day. The playbook tells her exactly what to say and what to shoot. Always open the playbook before filming and copy the hook word for word.

Categories in the playbook:

  1. No-Crack Instrument (hooks 1 to 5)
  2. Nervous System and the Perfect Storm (hooks 6 to 9)
  3. Prenatal and Pediatric (hooks 10 to 13)
  4. Spectrum and Sensory (hooks 14 to 15)
  5. Common is not Normal (hooks 16 to 18)
  6. Two Doctors (hooks 19 to 20)

The Raw Yapping Reel (1 per week)

On top of the polished playbook reels, add one raw, unscripted reel every week. This one is filmed by a doctor, not Scarlett: Dr. Saylor or Dr. Zach picks up the phone, holds it in hand (not on a tripod), and talks straight to camera like a FaceTime call with one worried parent. No script, no production, no perfect lighting.

Why: right now, raw beats polished on Instagram. A phone held in your hand, a little imperfect, reads as honest, and honest is what stops a parent mid-scroll. The lack of polish is the point.

Six prompts to pull from (pick one each week):

  1. The question parents ask me most.
  2. Why I check newborns.
  3. What I look for in a child's nervous system.
  4. The biggest myth about kids and chiropractic.
  5. What a first visit with your child actually looks like.
  6. The one thing I wish every parent knew.
Same compliance as every clip: nervous-system support only, no cure or fix language, no absolute claims. Just a real doctor being real for about sixty seconds. Name the file Raw Yapping plus the topic, drop it in the VE Reels Queue folder.

The Share Test

Before any reel goes in the queue or gets posted, run it through one question:

Give Every Reel Three Shots

A strong reel is not a one-time post. Every reel gets three runs at a fresh audience.

Repost at 60 and 120 days

Re-upload every reel as a brand-new reel at 60 days, and again at 120 days, after it first posts. This is a fresh re-upload, not the "boost to feed" button. A new slice of the audience sees it each time. Original plus two fresh re-uploads equals three shots per reel.

Test hooks with trial reels

When you are unsure which hook lands, use Instagram trial reels. Post two versions of the same reel with different hooks as trials (trials show to non-followers first), see which wins, then post the winner fresh to the followers. Let the test pick the hook.

Tip: keep a simple note on each queued reel of its first-post date so the 60 and 120 day re-uploads are easy to schedule.

Trigger-Word Captions

Bake a comment-to-DM trigger into the caption of every topical reel, tied to one of our free condition guides. A parent comments the keyword and gets the matching guide sent to them. It drives comments (which the algorithm rewards) and starts a real conversation with a parent who already wants help.

Caption pattern: end the caption with one clear line, for example "Comment EAR and we will send you our free ear-infection guide." One keyword per reel. The auto-send backend is set up separately, so the only job here is putting the right keyword in the caption.
