What it entails
Content Strategy
Publishing without a plan is the most common reason content underperforms. A strategy tells you what to make, for whom, and why it earns its place on the calendar.
I start with your buyers' real questions, then build themes, formats and a 90-day schedule your team can follow without me.
Years of agency and freelance work mean I can plan the whole programme, from audience research to measurement.
A good strategy turns random posts into a system that keeps paying back.
Together we agree priorities, set simple metrics and make sure every piece has a job.
What's included
A playbook your team will actually use.
Audience research
Interviews, review mining and search analysis that reveal what your buyers ask before they buy.
Content pillars
Three to five themes that connect every article, post and email back to revenue.
90-day calendar
A quarter of titles, angles, formats and owners — sequenced for momentum.
Channel mapping
Where each piece lives, how it's repurposed, and what job it does in the funnel.

Reusable briefs so freelancers and staff write to the same standard.
Measurement plan
The five metrics that matter, review cadence, and when to double down or cut.

Content strategy questions.
Publishing without a strategy is the most common reason content underperforms. The audit usually finds half your effort going to topics your buyers never search for.
Yes — that's the point. The playbook includes brief templates and a review cadence designed for busy in-house teams, plus 30 days of async support.
The strategy is the plan; writing is quoted separately. Most clients pair the playbook with the Content Engine Monthly package so execution starts immediately.
Every playbook ends with a measurement plan: five metrics tied to pipeline, not vanity traffic, with a quarterly review format.
