How We Work
We Listen
Our work starts with understanding your brand and value proposition, your competitors and market positioning, your business goals and your customers, donors or members. We’ll research your organization, audit your content across marketing channels, map the Buyer's Journey and schedule an in-depth consultation with your stakeholders in order to assess your content needs.
We Identify Audience Segments
It has never been more important to know your customers and their needs. A recent study by Google and Gartner found that potential customers are increasingly turning to publicly-available information from digital and social media channels to self-diagnose problems and find their own solutions. Buyers complete as much as 70% of the decision-making process independently, without ever interacting with your organization - regardless of the price, the complexity of the product or service - or your incumbency as their supplier.
If the scope of your project includes audience profiling, we’ll request a copy of your customer, donor or membership list, which we will segment into sub-groups based on similar characteristics such as demographics, business industry, size, revenue, geography and spending/giving behavior. This insight will make your sales and marketing efforts more targeted and efficient, determine which marketing channels to use, make your messaging more relevant and enable us to find the best prospects.
We Build Your Content Strategy and Plan Based on Your Audience and Your Goals
Using the audience insights we’ve gained from our assessment, our team of researchers and strategists will develop a content strategy and a detailed plan to reach your key audience segments and help achieve your business goals throughout the Buyer's Journey - from lead generation and conversion to building your organization's credibility and reputation with thought leadership.
We Enrich Your Narrative and Ensure It's Heard
Our lead editor will assign your project to a writer, oversee their work and submit a draft that’s been edited and fact checked for your review within five business days. We’ll make any changes required within two business days. And because we have identified the characteristics of your key audience segments we can create different versions of your content, highlighting features and benefits of specific interest to key sub-groups that drive your revenue, if requested.
