Marketing professionals have opinions on what defines effective content strategy. But what if these definitions barely scratch the surface? The world of content strategy is much larger than marketing, and organizations can see amazing results when they incorporate an enterprise content strategy.
Rethinking content strategy
As a marketing professional myself, here’s what came to mind when I talked about content strategy in the past:
Buyer personas, customer value journeys, and other marketing strategy documents
SEO strategy, including keyword research, optimized content, backlink strategies, and more
Editorial calendars
Social media strategy
Content types (blog, video, social media), short-form vs. long-form content
Content quality and tone
Marketing teams refer to all of this (and more!) as content strategy. However, it’s only part of a content strategy, specifically a content marketing strategy.
