Channel coverage

One core idea, four network-specific editions

Each selected network gets its own caption shape and publishing treatment. LinkedIn and Facebook support personal profiles and Pages; publishing may target selected connected accounts within applicable limits.

Who it fits

For teams that need the calendar owned

theStacc is strongest when the need is repeatable content operations with visible controls, rather than an undefined bundle of agency services.

01

Founders and lean teams

Keep the calendar moving without operating it yourself.

A fit for teams that can supply business truth and direction but want a manager to coordinate planning, production, QA, scheduling, and publishing.

02

Multi-brand and multi-location operators

Preserve separate context across connected accounts.

Organize brand or location context and selected accounts inside the applicable plan limits, without treating every audience as interchangeable.

03

Agencies

Add managed content operations to the delivery mix.

Useful when the need is content production and publishing on the four supported networks—not a full white-label system, reseller domain, or unlimited client provision.

Strategy and calendar model

Start with governed inputs, not a blank caption box

The managed content strategy defines what the system should create and how it should move. It is not audience listening, competitive intelligence, community strategy, or a social CRM.

01

Company and offer context

The shared Company Brain, business details, products, CTAs, and editable source context establish what the brand can truthfully say.

Explore the capability →
02

Brand system

Voice, logo, colors, fonts, style references, language preferences, and words to avoid shape captions and supported graphics.

Explore the capability →
03

Content direction

Editable pillars, topic preferences, exclusions, CTA preferences, prior-topic checks, and variety controls guide the plan.

Explore the capability →
04

Publishing setup

Enabled networks, selected connected accounts, compliance settings, approval mode, and schedule define how work can move live.

Managed production and publishing

Six visible steps from context to live post

The manager coordinates a supported workflow with product states, customer controls, and defined quality gates. No invented turnaround or outcome claim is required.

    Confirm the boundaries

    Review the brand, voice, products, content rules, supported networks, and selected connected accounts.

  2. 02

    Define the mix

    Set content pillars, topic preferences, CTAs, and the schedule within current plan limits.

  3. 03

    Build the calendar

    Create and review a content calendar that accounts for prior topics and the planned content mix.

  4. 04

    Produce each edition

    Prepare network-specific captions, hooks, hashtags, first comments, and supported still graphics or carousels.

  5. 05

    Apply the gates

    Use manager QA, brand and compliance checks, and the configured auto, approval-required, or manual publishing mode.

  6. 06

    Publish and record

    Schedule or publish to selected accounts, then record per-platform status, live post URLs, and available post statistics.

Managed service or Social Media module?

Both paths use the same four networks and the same format boundaries. Managed delivery does not add video, community management, active engagement labor, paid ads, or unsupported channels.

Managed service

theStacc team operates the system

The team handles supported planning, production, QA, scheduling, and publishing. A dedicated manager owns the agreed content strategy and reporting workflow.

Social Media module

Your team runs the same supported workflows directly and chooses auto, approval-required, or manual publishing controls.

Approval, compliance, and brand safety

Controls that protect the source of truth

Safeguards can govern what gets created and when it can publish. They support review and risk control; they do not provide legal certification or mean every self-serve autopilot post receives human approval.

The real logo stays real

The uploaded logo’s actual pixels are composited onto supported images instead of asking an image model to redraw the mark.

The brand rules travel with the work

Voice preferences, words to avoid, image rules, exclusions, and content settings guide production and review.

Evidence-dependent posts stay locked

Post types that require testimonials, case results, original data, offers, prices, or event facts wait for real customer-supplied proof.

Publishing authority is configurable

Choose auto, approval-required, or manual mode. Compliance checks can repair supported issues or hold content for review.

Reporting boundary

Report on the work and available signals

See the plan and post state, per-platform publishing status, live post URLs, and documented post-publish statistics synced from supported networks. Manager reporting follows the cadence confirmed by operations.

Plan and post statusVisible workflow state
Publishing statusPer platform and live URL
Available post statisticsSynced reporting inputs

Analytics reporting is not ongoing engagement management. The team does not promise to reply to comments or DMs, grow followers, or turn engagement into leads or revenue.

Workflow proof

Judge the service by the controls and artifacts it can show

This page does not use customer logos, quotes, or outcome metrics to imply performance. Its proof is the operating trail: editable strategy inputs, a visible calendar, distinct network editions, real-logo composition, approval states, per-platform publish status, live URLs, and available post statistics.

Those artifacts show that the work exists and how it moved. They do not convert product activity into an unsupported claim about business results.

Frequently asked questions

Before you choose managed social media

Direct answers about channels, formats, approval, reporting, and where the service stops.

What is included in theStacc’s managed social media service?

theStacc manages supported content strategy inputs, the plan and calendar, platform-native captions, branded still graphics and carousels, approval, scheduling, publishing, blog repurposing, publish status, available post statistics, and agreed manager reporting for Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and X.

How is the managed service different from the Social Media module?

The capabilities and limits are the same. With the managed service, theStacc team operates supported planning, production, QA, scheduling, and publishing, with a manager coordinating strategy and reporting. With the Social Media module, your team operates those workflows directly.

Which social networks does theStacc support?

Exactly four: Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and X. LinkedIn and Facebook support personal profiles and Pages, and publishing can target selected connected accounts within applicable limits.

Does theStacc create videos, Reels, Stories, or Shorts?

No. The managed service supports still-image graphics and carousel decks. Video production, editing, and publishing, including Reels, Stories, Shorts, and livestreams, are outside scope.

Does the service include community management, comments, or DMs?

No. Ongoing community management, comment replies, direct-message and inbox handling, customer support, and active engagement work are outside scope.

Can I approve every post before it publishes?

Yes. Choose approval-required mode to hold posts for review before publishing. Auto and manual modes are also available, so publishing authority can match your team’s preferred level of control.

How are the calendar and posting cadence controlled?

The content plan uses editable pillars, topic preferences, enabled networks, selected connected accounts, prior-topic checks, and a customer-controlled schedule. Cadence and volume remain within the applicable plan limits; current plan details are available on the pricing page.

What reporting is available after a post publishes?

The workflow records per-platform publish status and live post URLs and syncs documented post-publish statistics from supported networks. A manager can use those inputs in reporting at the cadence confirmed by operations. Analytics reporting does not include comment, DM, or community management.

Does theStacc guarantee reach, engagement, followers, leads, or revenue?

No. theStacc operates and reports on the supported content workflow, but platform distribution and business outcomes depend on factors outside any provider’s control. The service does not guarantee reach, engagement, followers, leads, pipeline, sales, revenue, or a results timeline.
