Content Marketing Planning
You’ve likely heard the phrase “Plan the work, then work the plan”. Content Marketing Planning is critical to the success of your program. Before getting started, it is important to completely understand how your target market thinks, how they perform research and how they make decisions. This information is then considered as you determine the type and style of content you will create, and where and how you will distribute your content.
Planning Stage Tasks Include:
Target Markets
We will work through how your ideal client performs research, evaluates options and makes decisions. As we create an “avatar” of your ideal we’ll discuss potential objections, motivators and more in efforts to produce content that tells your story in a manner that is meaningful.
Content Strategy
A strong Content Marketing strategy will align with your business goals and produce results! Your Content Strategy will be captured in a document which outlines the who, what, where, why and when (and even how!) your company will plan, execute and monitor your Content Marketing program.
SMART Goals
Setting SMART goals for your Content Marketing program allows you to remain on task and measure your efforts along the way. Putting your expectations into defined goals encourages you and your team to work towards achieving your business goals.
