What Exactly Is Content Strategy & Is It Necessary?

When most people hear the phrase “content strategy,” they may think of a brand’s blog or its marketing efforts. While blogging and marketing are both essential parts, content strategy is actually the process of translating the goals of your brand into content. Do you want to get customers to sign up for your subscriber list? Then you may want to create a compelling newsletter with content they’ll love. Are you hoping to increase your pageviews? Then you could create a compelling blog on your site that attracts new visitors (and keeps old visitors coming back). 

If you’re wondering if a content strategy plan is necessary for your brand, the answer is simple: absolutely. Content strategy encompasses the planning, development, and management of content, and is generally written or done via video or audio on a social media or streaming platform like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Clubhouse, or Apple Podcasts. A great content strategy plan can help you build brand awareness, grow your business, meet KPIs (key performance indicators), and more.
