Luckily, you’re in the right place.

If you’re here, it probably means you’re sick of what it feels like to watch your Reels fall flat…

Maybe you spend 3 hours on a Reel one day, then throw something together in 10 minutes the next day. Maybe you spend hours searching for the perfect trending audio, only to be put in 200-view jail again. Either way? It’s exhausting.

You know Reels work for hundreds of businesses . You see it every day, but the formula for creating winning Reels consistently? That’s what you’re missing.

Let’s not beat around the bush: watching your Reels flop sucks, no matter how much work, research, or time you put into them.

Reels are still one of the fastest, most effective ways to grow your Instagram account (and business too!)

There are people on Instagram right now who want to connect with you. Making stand-out Reels is the best way to get in front of them.

And cracking that Reels code?


Despite your frustrations about Reels, one thing is still clear:

You need a way to turn off the guesswork, tune out the overwhelm, and still create Reels that pop off and grow your business…

If all the planning was taken care of for you? That’s when your creativity could really take off.

You need a way to turn off the guesswork, tune out the overwhelm, and still create Reels that pop off and grow your business…

YES PUH-LEASE.

And with the algorithm changing all the time and the constant come and go of different trends, turning off your brain and accessing your creativity is… difficult.

But if Reels were to feel easy?? That’s when you can access more creativity in your content and impact for your audience.

Not to mention the growth you’d see?

Yes, social media is a noisy place, but The Reels Lab helps you cut through the noise to get exactly what’s working in Instagram Reels each week.

Those hours of saving trending audios, scrolling for “inspo,” and scrambling to understand the latest trends are about to be a thing of the past.

This is less set-it-and-forget-it social media, and more “here’s the space to finally be creative AND grow your account.”

The Reels Lab is perfect for business owners who:

Love creating content, but get overwhelmed researching what’s going to “work” that week

Want to spend more of their time creating, not scrolling for inspiration 

Are excited to put their own spin on ideas that are currently working

Want to gamify their content creation process, but with less trial-and-error

Know their audience, but need help creating content that resonates with them

Have at least an hour each week they can spend creating content (yes, only an hour!)

The Reels Lab was made for:

✓ The small business owner who knows their target audience is on Instagram, but needs help reaching them.

Or anyone with an Instagram account they want to grow without spending hours researching every week.

✓ The content creator who wants to be more creative and grow their account significantly.

✓ The social media manager who wants to create better Reels for their clients, without burning out to make it happen.

✓ The business owner who’s deciding between hiring a social media manager or DIYing their Reels.

✓ The marketing manager who wants their account to pop off, without spending hours on Instagram each day.

✓ The social media team who’s ready to outperform the competition with ease.

Hey, I’m Shannon

I bet you’re just now realizing how much you need one of those, right??

After 20 years in marketing, and 10 years in social media marketing specifically, I know a thing or two about growing accounts for busy business owners.

(In a way that cuts down on the overwhelm and gets right down to what works, ya know?)

I created The Reels Lab because I was sick of seeing social media programs that fall flat, wasted people’s money, and were stuffed with fluff you didn’t need — especially when you actually need less fluff, and more space to be creative.

Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of creators and businesses grow their accounts — and I’m confident I can help you too.

And, I promise to do it without making you do a cringey dance on TikTok

and I’m about to be your back-pocket social media strategist.

(unless you really want to 😉)

Here’s how it’s gonna go down:
