Content
The word ‘content’ isn’t perfect – it downplays the distinction between fantastic stories and mindless clickbait, and it has a tendency to make people think that quantity is more important than quality. To stand out in an increasingly noisy world, quality is everything.
We can create compelling content that wows your audience and supports your business objectives. We can also deliver training to enable you and your team to develop and implement your own content strategy.
Every organisation is a publisher today – and what you’re really trying to do is deliver compelling stories to your audience in the most seamless way possible to make an emotional connection. This requires a mix of passion for the subject matter, a deep relationship with your audience, robust production processes, and the right tools.
With a background in journalism and technology, we’ve worked on many projects that combine the two – including overseeing the iPad edition launches for Condé Nast in the UK, product ownership of a Digital Asset Manager for Condé Nast International, and developing and delivering content training for telco VEON.
Publishers and brands we’ve worked with include Time Out, WIRED, GQ, Vanity Fair and Vogue – as well as solo entrepreneurs and startups who are trying to cut through the noise and get their message heard.
Core areas we can help with include:
Developing and maintaining a content strategy.
Generating, refining and testing content ideas.
Understanding how, and when, your audience wants to be spoken to.
Production processes for any size of organisation or team.
Structuring content to publish through multiple channels and platforms.
Choosing the right technology solutions.
