Social Media Specialist: Claim Inactive Instagram Username (4-Letter Brand Handle)

We are looking for an experienced Social Media Specialist, Brand Protection Expert, or PR Professional with a proven track record of claiming inactive Instagram usernames. Our brand is seeking to secure a specific four-letter username on Instagram. The target account is completely inactive (no posts, low engagement, and no recent activity). We also have five-letter backup options if the primary four-letter handle cannot be secured. We have established brand presence and can provide evidence of brand use to support the claim. Scope of Work • Assess the eligibility of our primary four-letter username and five-letter backup options. • Determine the most viable acquisition pathway (Meta Media Partner Portal, Trademark/IP Dispute, or direct negotiation). • Draft and submit the necessary documentation or portal requests to Meta/Instagram. • Manage the secure transfer of the username to our official brand account. Requirements • Proven experience in social media brand protection, IP claims, or digital rights management. • Experience navigating Meta's support channels, intellectual property forms, or utilizing a Meta Media Partner Portal. • Ability to provide redacted case studies or proof of previously secured inactive usernames. • Strong communication skills and absolute discretion. Payment Terms This contract will be strictly results-based. We will set up a secure Upwork Escrow milestone. Payment will only be released upon the successful transfer of the desired username to our control. Proposals requesting upfront payments outside of escrow or before project completion will be automatically rejected. How to Apply To be considered, please start your proposal with the word VORTEX to prove you have read this description. In your proposal, please address the following: 1. What is your proposed strategy for securing a rare four-letter inactive username? 2. Do you have access to a Meta Media Partner Portal, or will you be pursuing a trademark/IP dispute pathway? 3. Include your full fee structure and pricing options upfront in your proposal. We need to understand costs before scheduling any calls or consultations. 4. Provide concrete proof of previous successful username claims you have completed. This can include redacted screenshots, client testimonials, before/after examples, or any verifiable documentation. Proposals without evidence of past success will not be considered.
