Some accounts are easy to read. The data just tells you what works, and you double down.
Pickler Universe isn't one of those accounts. We have to separate reels from static posts, because static still does its job even when the numbers don't show off for it.
Here's what a few months of data told us. Videos win, no surprise there. But inside that, the nuance matters more than the format. Collaboration reels perform best, because you're borrowing two audiences instead of one. And reels built around one person outperform compilation edits every time.
What this means for you. If you're choosing between a solo reel and a highlight reel of multiple people, pick the solo reel. Faces convert better than a mashup. Save collaborations for when you actually have a partner audience to tap into, not just extra footage to fill space.
