ARCH recently hosted Khyati Meena for a masterclass on cracking the algorithm, where she told students that great social media content is never just a design exercise, but a negotiation between imagination and structure.
Meena defended the carousel as a powerful format, thanks to the high save rates platforms read as genuine value. Readability, she stressed, comes first, with poster fonts offering the clearest legibility. Concepts should be bold, but never at the cost of being instantly understood.
She urged tight alignment between hooks and captions so platforms recognise consistent context, and recommended trending audio to reach beyond existing followers.
Students also learned that a platform's built-in toolbar unlocks tailored suggestions and posting-time recommendations only after nine posts and that consistency, backed by a structured content calendar, is non-negotiable.
Meena closed by calling community management part of the framework itself: prompt replies to DMs and comments, paired with an eye-catching cover, complete the loop from first impression to lasting engagement.
Your text ended with "Orientation 2026." If the masterclass was part of that programme, I can work it into the opening line.
