Content Marketing Strategy

What is a content marketing strategy? 

It is a well-considered plan of action that uses content (in various formats through various media channels targeted at specific audiences) as the means to educate, entertain, inform and inspire. The intended impact is to earn new audiences, higher brand awareness, increased interest and trust, buy-in, and win more customers.  

Typically, strategic planning aims to create an iterative process of continual improvement, and this is no different when applied to content marketing. 

Different models of content marketing strategy development exist; here’s one with five phases: 

At Phase 3 when the strategy is formed, the desired content marketing assets are identified. At Phase 4 these assets are produced.    

Why is a content marketing strategy important for business? 

Think of it as a compass for ensuring that all content marketing activities stay on course. High impact content assets like videos and websites take a lot of resources to produce, and making sure all efforts are on-strategy will reduce any wastage of time, money, or effort.   

How do I get great results from a content marketing strategy? 

Ensure that the content strategy is aligned with business goals and fit for purpose;  clarify what needs to be done when, why and by whom; ensure that resources are available to deliver the scope of work; monitor progress frequently; and perform good project management.
