Learn more about Instagram posts and reels research
Use public Instagram posts and reels to discover reference content, UGC, creators and repeatable creative patterns for a specific audience or campaign brief.
Describe the audience and creative job
Tell the agent who the content must reach and what it should achieve. Ask it to discover direct competitors, adjacent creators and cross-category references instead of limiting the research to handles you already know.
Build a tagged reference set
Collect a representative recent sample and group examples by hook, promise, format, objection, call to action and comment questions. Keep the direct links so the best references can support a creative brief without being copied.
How do I tell a repeatable pattern from one popular reel?
Look for the same useful pattern across several relevant creators within a comparable recent period. Treat one high-performing post as an example, then check whether the idea repeats and whether the audience response supports the reason you think it worked.
Example prompt
This prompt turns Instagram research into an original content brief.
Example prompt to give your agent
Use Scrollport's Instagram content research capability to find recent posts and reels for [AUDIENCE OR NICHE] that can inform [CONTENT OR CAMPAIGN]. Include direct competitors, adjacent creators and useful reference accounts. Tag repeated hooks, formats, promises, objections and comment questions, retain source links, and propose three original angles without copying any one post. Show me the price before the paid run.
