Modern Animal, a veterinary care company, has achieved over 50 million views on social media within three months by leveraging a unique content style called "spectator social." This approach focuses on filming real interactions between veterinarians and animals, allowing viewers to feel like they're observing rather than being directly addressed. The format has drawn comparisons to popular reality TV and sports content, such as NFL's Mic'd Up series, which helps build trust without overt selling. Bailey James, the Senior Manager of Brand, emphasizes the importance of showing rather than telling, moving away from traditional authoritative content to a more relatable and engaging style. The company's growth, particularly a surge of 36,000 Instagram followers in November, stems from consistent content creation and a playful, character-driven narrative. This strategy involved closely monitoring audience engagement and refining their approach based on viewer preferences. The decision to mic up veterinarians was inspired by the entertainment industry's ability to create excitement and engagement, showcasing the personalities within their clinic. James notes that this format not only alleviates anxiety for pet owners but also taps into a voyeuristic aspect that resonates with audiences. Filming is done using a multi-camera setup that captures hours of footage while the clinic remains operational, ensuring minimal disruption. On a typical shoot day, the team records for five to seven hours, yielding a substantial amount of raw material for editing. The content team, led by Creative Producer Zoe Taylor, plays a crucial role in transforming this footage into engaging social media posts, which have generated a strong community around the brand. Viewer comments indicate that audiences are forming connections similar to those seen in reality TV, referencing inside jokes and developing familiarity with the veterinary team.
