Brian Clark says, “Strategy … we all know what it means, right? Just for grins, let’s look at a simple definition:

A plan of action designed to achieve a major or overall aim.

Clear enough. So why would the majority of content marketers have no documented strategy, according to Content Marketing Institute? And by “documented,” I mean a plan that you literally write down.

This is what happens when you document your strategy, again according to CMI’s research:

  • You’ll be far more likely to consider yourself effective at content marketing.
  • You’ll feel significantly less challenged by every aspect of content marketing.
  • You’ll generally consider yourself more effective in your use of all content marketing tactics and social media channels.
  • You’ll be able to justify spending a higher percentage of your marketing budget on content marketing”.
