About the client

An astrology and modern-spirituality app: charts, moon phases, numerology.

The challenge

Astrology content is high-volume and low-differentiation. The goal was to own a corner of it with content that feels like a knowledgeable friend.

And to test whether a single well-run account could carry disproportionate weight.

How they used doublespeed

10 accounts from Feb 9, 2026, scaled to 60 by May. Two persona types: personality-driven zodiac accounts, and one faceless authority account.

  1. One authority voice

    A single branded, faceless account posting twice a day did 14.6M views from 242 posts, including the top post and every post over 1M.

  2. Curiosity hooks

    The hit slideshows open on self-identification: which date is the most sensitive, is your chart more accurate than a personality test.

  3. The network as the floor

    The wider zodiac network provided volume, a testing surface and the baseline while the authority account produced the spikes.

Test broadly across the network, concentrate the wins into the authority voice.
