Getting to Success: Implementing a Content Strategy

Wednesday, September 30 — 9:00am-5:00pm

Rahel Anne Bailie
Content Strategy Consultant
Intentional Design Inc.

It's one thing to understand how to work with the various deliverables that form part of a content strategy. It's another thing to understand how to initiate a strategy, get it approved, and then develop the strategy itself and deliver on the implementation. 

There is as much to understand about developing and implementing a content strategy as there is to making the most of the superset of potential deliverables at your disposal. 

In this full-day workshop, participants will have the unique opportunity to work through the components of a content strategy, beginning with the pre-strategy work that accompanies the corporate impetus to develop a content strategy, through to choosing a complement of deliverables and working through them. The workshop will be fast-paced and participants are expected to maintain a high level of engagement. 

By the end of the workshop, participants will have learned: 

  • How to introduce content strategy into an organization and get management buy-in 
  • Three methods for gathering business, user, content, and delivery requirements
  • The potential range of deliverables and how to choose the right subset for a project 
  • How to get the most benefit from the basic deliverables, such as a content inventory and audit, a content quality analysis, and analytics
  • Ways to leverage strategies for search and social content within a content strategy
  • How to measure the success of the strategy
