Recognition that content is crucial for all brands is nothing new. The keys to impactful content, however, continually evolve. Inasmuch as content creation is an enormous part of today’s comms function, staying ahead – let alone up to date – on best practices is essential.
Of course creativity is a main ingredient of successful content. But it’s so much more than that. With whom do you work on the content? What format is best? Where does it live? When should it be distributed? Is less-polished content actually more effective now?
If your goal is to provide content that meets and exceeds your audience’s needs and expectations, the decisions you make regarding the publishing of that content are just as important as the ones you make regarding the creation of that content. And oftentimes, those latter strategies prove even more elusive to master.
The answers and counsel you seek will be provided in this webcast presented by Hill+Knowlton Strategies.
During these 60 minutes, lessons will be plentiful on topics such as:
-From publishers to influencers, identifying the best content partners -Long form or snackable. Video or audio. What format works best? -Owned, earned, paid or shared? Which channels provide the best and broadest reach for your content? -Interpreting data to drive the best content and publishing decisions -How the last year has reshaped the content + publishing conversation -And much more
