01 Road Map
Content audit & gap analysis
What content can we help you make better use of?
What are you lacking? We get granular in our content
audits, defining current content organization, ensuring
content is aligned to specific audiences, and defining
content strengths and weaknesses. A content audit
gives you a basis to invest in improving your existing
inventory and nimbly close gaps.
Competitive analysis
We evaluate your key direct and non-direct competitors,
their content market positioning and audiences and
the types of content they’re producing by channel, style
and voice. This is a key stop on your road map
to content marketing success.
Market positioning
We utilize social listening — monitoring social media
channels for mentions of your brand, competitors,
product and more — competitive analysis and
stakeholder interviews to generate a clear picture
of your current content market position.
02 Content Strategy Fundamentals
Audience personae & brand voice
The best content is audience specific. We define your
audiences and build audience personae tied to content
marketing: interpreting how, where and why those
audiences digest content, and ensuring your content
brand voice and style are aligned with your audience
to maximize the impact of your content at each
phase of the audience journey.
Content framework & spheres of influence
We build a content framework for you, outlining how
content should be structured for your audiences and
the main topics, or spheres of influence, on which you
have the authority to speak.
Content strategy & style guide
We codify your content strategy and editorial style
in a guide that can be used across your organization to
ensure consistency among all content marketers, lines
of business and internal and external content creators.
03 Program Planning and Roll Out
Campaign & editorial/channel planning
We create a channel plan and editorial calendars
to ensure you are deploying the right content for
the right channels — to engage your audience
throughout the customer journey.
