What are content marketing strategies (and why you need one yesterday)?

Here’s the truth: “Just post more” isn’t a marketing strategy.  Content marketing strategies are your game plan for creating, sharing and shouting about content that actually connects. They’re how you tell your brand’s story, build trust and turn curious browsers into loyal fans.

If you're not planning your content, someone else is winning your audience.

A solid strategy includes:

• Audience research to understand who you’re talking to (and what makes them tick).

• Content planning to decide what to create and when.

• Distribution channels to get your content in front of the right eyes.

• Measurement and optimisation to keep levelling up what works.

• A sprinkle of personality, because even the smartest strategy falls flat if it sounds like everyone else.

  
  

Tips to make your content unforgettable

Alright, now that we’ve covered the theory, let’s get physical, well, practical. Here are some actionable tips to make your content stand out in your field:

Be bold with your voice

Don’t shy away from personality. Whether it’s cheeky, clever, or downright quirky, your brand voice should be unmistakable. This makes your content instantly recognisable and more fun to read.

Use visuals wisely

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but only if it’s relevant and high quality. Use images, infographics, and videos to complement your text and break up long blocks of copy.

Keep it snappy

Long-winded content is a snooze fest. Use short sentences, bullet points, and subheadings to make your content easy to scan. Remember, modern attention spans are short, so get to the point fast.

Tell stories that resonate

Use real-life examples, case studies, or customer testimonials to add authenticity. Stories create emotional connections, making your content more memorable.

Optimise for SEO without the jargon

Think of SEO like seasoning. Too much ruins the dish, too little leaves it bland. SEO doesn’t have to be a headache. Use keywords naturally, write compelling meta descriptions, and ensure your content answers the questions your audience is asking.

Experiment and iterate

Don’t be afraid to try new formats or topics. Use analytics to see what resonates and refine your approach. Content marketing is a marathon, not a sprint.
