{"id":101195,"title":"InstaAgent – One marketing campaign → hundreds of personas","tagline":"We help B2C companies scale social media marketing across hundreds of personas","body":"**TLDR**: InstaAgent helps B2C companies scale a single marketing campaign across hundreds of specific personas on Meta and TikTok, each with its own content, voice, and targeting.\n\n**Traction**: Reached $1M ARR in 10 months.\n\n**Launch Video:** \u003chttps://youtu.be/NM3l6c2cm0w\u003e\n\n**The Problem**\n\n👋 Hello! We’re repeat founders who burned millions on paid social. We used AI to scale content production, but most of it was generic slop that fell flat. What actually converted was creative tailored to specific niches. But producing that at scale was too slow, too expensive, and no tool existed to do it.\n\n**Lessons from Serving Hundreds of Customers**\n\n1. **80% quality = 0% retention**: There's no \"good enough\" in AI creative. If content feels even slightly off, customers call it slop and churn. High-quality AI creative is harder than people assume — it's not just prompting, it's topics, taste, and iteration. That's why we moved from self-serve to an agency model. Customers do not just want AI tools; they need help producing quality creatives.\n2. **Few people actually like creating**: The first few ideas came easy, then they were stuck. Most brands run 5-6 variations when they should be running 50+. MEDVi (controversial, but instructive) scaled by running ads across 800+ Facebook pages. Few brands can produce personalized ads at that scale.\n\n**Our Solution**\n\nInstaAgent generates hundreds of on-brand creatives from your brief — each tailored to a specific persona, informed by what's trending and distributed across hundreds of social accounts engineered to reach each niche.\n\nIn hours, performance data starts flowing back. Winners scale. Underperformers are replaced by new variants. The optimization loop that used to take weeks now runs continuously.\n\nIn days, you launch the next campaign. Different angle, fresh creatives, smarter targeting — because every cycle inherits what the last one learned.\n\n**Our Ask**\n\nIf you know a B2C company scaling on Meta or TikTok, we’d love an intro.\n\nEspecially relevant: CPG, Health, and Apps.\n\nPlease email us at [kyle@instaagent.com](mailto:founders@instaagent.com)\n\n**About Us**\n\n[Kyle](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylewong2): Repeat Founder (1M+ users in 1 month) | Ex-GS China TMT | Triple Major @Cornell\n\n[Colin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tseungc): Repeat Founder (Acqui-hired) | Maths @Oxford\n\nFriends for 20 years since middle school:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=101195\u0026key=user_uploads/593025/e32fecf3-ea76-4c59-b20a-14c355a4683d)\n\n","slug":"QKB-instaagent-one-marketing-campaign-hundreds-of-personas","created_at":"2026-05-11T16:27:44.262Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T03:43:57.553Z","total_vote_count":45,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/QKB-instaagent-one-marketing-campaign-hundreds-of-personas","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=101195\u0026key=user_uploads/593025/e32fecf3-ea76-4c59-b20a-14c355a4683d","company":{"id":31409,"name":"InstaAgent","slug":"instaagent","url":"https://instaagent.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/1efbbb9a75fe89206f180f9f9d1afb75dba57ca0.png","batch":"Spring 2026","industry":"B2B","tags":["Generative AI","B2B","Social Media","Marketing"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/31409"}}
