Understanding Highlights Management & Seasonal Packs: Keeping Content Relevant Year-Round
Social media moves quickly — but some content deserves a longer shelf life. That's where highlight management and seasonal content planning come into play. Together, they help brands stay relevant, organized, and timely throughout the year.
What Is Highlights Management & Seasonal Content Planning?
Highlights management refers to the practice of curating and maintaining permanent collections of content on platforms like Instagram. These highlight reels are used to organize stories or campaigns so new visitors can easily explore specific aspects of a brand — from product info and testimonials to behind-the-scenes looks and event recaps.
Seasonal content packs, on the other hand, are planned campaigns created for specific occasions — like festivals, national holidays, awareness days, or industry-specific events. These packs usually include pre-designed visuals, captions, hashtags, and even campaign-specific landing pages that align with the tone of the event while keeping the brand voice intact.
How the Process Works
Highlight management typically starts with deciding which topics are essential to the brand — such as services, FAQs, reviews, offers, or team intros. Then, stories are designed or archived accordingly. The visual covers and arrangement of these highlights are also planned to reflect the brand's aesthetic and structure.
For seasonal packs, content is planned ahead of time — often quarterly or monthly — with a calendar of relevant dates. Creative assets are designed in batches to reflect the tone of each occasion (e.g., Diwali, Women's Day, Earth Day), allowing teams to stay consistent without having to create content last-minute.
Campaigns are scheduled and adapted per platform, with performance monitored to see what types of seasonal engagement work best for the audience.
Why This Matters
Highlights make social profiles easier to navigate and keep key content accessible well after its original post date. Seasonal content helps brands show cultural relevance, connect with audiences in the moment, and take advantage of natural engagement peaks throughout the year. Together, they create a profile that feels both well-structured and timely.
