“The businesses winning in 2026 have one thing in common. They stopped posting to check the box and started building systems linked with Social Media to drive sales and engagement. ” ~Leslie Lyon
“We didn’t fight the ad restrictions. We made them irrelevant. Three months of disciplined organic strategy and our client had something no one else on the island had a lead pipeline that just kept filling.”

The Power of Trial Reels
The Viral Engineering Blueprint: Mastering Instagram Trial Reels
This framework can be implemented for any industry, any tone, or voice. It also provides you with content that can be repurposed across the rest of your channels. For a truly omnipresent brand.
INSTAGRAM TRIAL REELS STRATEGY
Instagram Hero Channel: at Leslie M Lyon we encourage every founder, brand and business to create for one platform and expand from there.
Trial Reels Allows you to push the limits of your brand while testing content to see what hits and what doesn't. This allows you to test unlimited Reels and enhance your reach at the same time.
Why Entrepreneurs Choose Leslie M Lyon As Their Fractional CMO
Leslie M Lyon is a fractional CMO and full-service digital marketing agency built for entrepreneurs and growing businesses who need senior-level marketing leadership without the full-time executive price tag.
Since 2015, we've partnered with founders and service-based businesses to build strategic marketing ecosystems, not just campaigns. We don't hand you a plan and walk away. We lead, execute, and stay accountable to your growth.
From fractional CMO strategy and Instagram systems to SEO, AEO, web design, and CRM automation every service is intentionally connected so your marketing works as one powerful system instead of disconnected tactics.
If you're ready to stop guessing and start scaling with a strategic partner who shows up like a true member of your leadership team you're in the right place.
FRACTIONAL CMO
You need executive marketing leadership. You don’t need a $300K salary to go with it. A Fractional CMO gives you senior-level strategy, team leadership, and full marketing oversight – part-time, at a fraction of the cost. Perfect for businesses doing $1M-$20M+ that need someone thinking at the executive level without adding to payroll.
INSTAGRAM HERO CHANNEL STRATEGY
Stop posting and praying. Start building a system that reaches new viewers. We use Instagram’s Trial Reels feature to test your content with new audiences before going all-in. The result is a 6-12 month strategy built on real data – not guesswork. Your Instagram becomes a self-feeding growth engine that compounds over time.
MARKETING STRATEGY & FLYWHEEL CREATION
Scattered tactics don’t scale. A connected strategy does. We build custom marketing flywheels that turn your fragmented efforts into a self-reinforcing growth engine. Every channel, every campaign, every piece of content working toward the same goal. We build it, implement it, and train your team to run it.
ORGANIC SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
Your Instagram is working. Now let’s multiply it. Once your Instagram Hero Channel is dialed in, we take that proven content and repurpose it strategically across Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, and more. Same message. More reach. No starting from scratch on every platform.
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO)
Page 47 of Google is not a marketing strategy. We get you to page one through thorough keyword research, white hat on-page and off-page SEO, content creation, and link building. No shortcuts, no tricks – just a sustainable strategy that builds your authority and keeps you ranking long-term.
ANSWER ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (AEO)
If AI can’t find you, your next customer can’t either. ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude are answering your customers’ questions right now. Is your business the answer? We optimize your content to be cited by AI-powered answer engines – alongside traditional search – so you capture traffic from every direction.
