The 5 Challenges Content Strategy Solves
Content is a headache. It’s a pain to make, manage, and measure, and few of us have any kind of strategy to help us deal with it rationally. When I talk to marketing leaders, I listen for what keeps them up at night, and it’s always the same five things:
- We have too much content.
- No one can find our content.
- Our content simply isn’t relevant.
- It takes us too long to make great content.
- We don’t know which content works or why.
In my view, these challenges are all challenges of scale. We are making and consuming so much more content today than we ever have. As marketers and customers, we are drowning in a mess of content. That sense of overwhelm is the headache.
I can help relieve your content headache.
When you feel you are facing a big, complicated mess of a situation, making lists, organizing, and setting your priorities helps put your challenge in perspective. It lets you breathe. Then, you can think rationally about what you need to do without that sense of overwhelm bearing down on you.
Content strategy provides that same breathing space for people faced with big content challenges. As a content strategist, I use the practices of publishing and information science to bring order to the job of planning, making, and distributing content.
