Go-To-Market

Document.

Every word is a liability to mess something up, and spelling/grammar/punctation are table stakes. Before we write the first word of publishable content we create what we call, ‘enablement documentation’, and we call it that, because it enables our team to create content like they have direct access to your brain.

Brand Requirements

Understanding  all your requirements across brand, voice, messaging, and positioning.

Knowledge Transfer

Why your industry is broken, why you’re here to save the day, why your customers love you, product information and strong thoughts & opinions to drive product/content integration and thought leadership/content integration into every page we publish.

Project Brief

Everything we’ve learned is captured and documented, covering your brand’s industry, customers, voice, tone, messaging, product, opinions, and CTAs to drive consistency across hundreds of thousands of words.

Opportunity Analysis

We build a topical map that covers every page of content we’ll ever publish to reach your customers at every stage of the funnel, then work with you to prioritize based on competitiveness, traffic potential, audience / offer fit, ACV, LTV and every other variable that’s important to you.

Content Series Template

The Content Series Template (CST) is like a content brief but for every page of content about a particular topic. This is a living breathing document, every time you give us feedback we’ll update the CST with a rule we use to evaluate all future content against, so you only have to give us feedback about something once.

Publishing

Publish.

We’ve laid the foundation and it’s time to start writing. Content goes through 5+ rounds of editing, revisions and QA before it’s delivered to you. We’re an editing heavy organization with a ratio of 1.5 writers per editor. Every piece of feedback is integrated into our enablement documentation as a rule that we evaluate all future content against, so you only have to give us feedback about something once.

Metrics

Aggressive KPI’s

Our KPIs are clear, and aggressive and are mapped to the stage of the campaign based on leading indicators of revenue.

👉 Are we organized? Do we meet the timelines we set? Is our content good?

👉 After publishing, do impressions begin increasing WoW most weeks? And MoM every month?

👉 After the 30th page is published are clicks beginning to increase WoW most weeks? And MoM every month?

👉 After we have statistically significant growth, are revenue KPIs increasing linearly with traffic?

Scale.

Scale.

You’re seeing consistent growth across the KPIs that matter to you, it’s time to scale. We can ramp to arbitrary number of pages per month while maintaining the high quality standards you’ve come to expect from us throughout our engagement.
