Content strategy involves evaluating the business and customer needs and providing strategic direction on how content can help the business achieve specific objectives. It’s a roadmap for your content that defines purpose, key messages and audiences for each channel in your marketing plan, that work together to increases brand awareness, influence buying decisions and pull your target audience into your sales funnel.
A Process and Mindset
Strategic direction on how content can help the business achieve specfic objectives
Most importantly, content strategy is a process and mindset. It shouldn’t be a detailed plan that gets tick-boxed and shelved. The initiative requires acceptance that the ‘plan’ is constantly evolving, driven by decisions you and your team make based on measurement of results against your key performance indicators.
In the content strategy modules we provide, we’ll help you figure out what this looks like, how to make it work, how to know if its working and what to do to keep making improvements.
Building this roadmap is a detailed and time-consuming task. We invest the time and resources upfront to ensure your content marketing initiative is much more likely to succeed with a solid strategy supporting it.
