Behind the Scenes: Why Sharing Your Process Builds More Than Just Content

April 7, 2025

Most brands focus on polished results—perfect graphics, glowing testimonials, curated feeds. But you know what really builds connection and trust? The behind-the-scenes (BTS).

At Gold Arrow Marketing Experts, we’ve seen firsthand how showing the process—not just the product—can increase engagement, build loyalty, and attract the right clients. If you're only posting the final product, you're missing a huge opportunity to humanize your brand and establish authority.

Why “Process” Content Works

People don’t just want the what—they want the how. When you show your audience what goes into your work, it:

  • Builds transparency and trust
  • Demonstrates expertise
  • Differentiates your approach from others

You’re not just selling a service. You’re inviting people into your method, your care, and your thought process. That’s a powerful bond.

Types of BTS Content That Perform

Here are a few ways to show your process that feel authentic and engaging:


1. The Making Of

Whether it’s a marketing strategy, logo design, or product launch—document the process. Snap a quick pic or video while you're mid-task.

✅ GAME Tip: Use Instagram Reels to do a “Day in the Life” or a time-lapse of your workspace while you build something.


2. Before and After, with the Story

Don’t just show the end result—walk us through how you got there. What was the client’s problem? What steps did you take?

📌 Use carousels to break down the transformation, especially if you’re a service provider like a coach, designer, or strategist.


3. Client Onboarding or Strategy Breakdown

People are curious! Share what happens after someone signs on to work with you. Do you start with a discovery call? An audit? A content plan?

🎥 You can do this as a voiceover Reel or a blog-style Story highlight.

What This Builds: Trust, Expertise, and Relatability

The behind-the-scenes content isn’t fluff—it’s proof. It shows that you’re hands-on, knowledgeable, and process-driven. And it reassures your potential clients that they’ll be taken care of.
