Make it count. 2. **Know the platform**: TikTok is raw and trendy. Instagram is polished and aesthetic. Same message, different execution. 3. **Specify the vibe**: "Cozy autumn aesthetic" or "high-energy hype" gives CellCog clear creative direction. 4. **Include CTAs**: "Save this", "Follow for more", "Link in bio" - tell people what to do next. 5. **Reference trends**: Mention specific formats ("Get ready with me", "POV", "storytime") for platform-native content. 6. **Think mobile-first**: All content will be viewed on phones. Bold text, clear visuals, vertical format.
