Content Marketing for Startups: A Growth-Focused Approach

We approach content marketing a bit differently than most agencies.

First, we’re a content marketing agency — not a content creation agency. This means that our focus isn’t churning out a bunch of content and hoping things work. While other agencies follow a “blog and pray” strategy (if you can really call publishing articles and hoping for the best a “strategy”), we know this doesn’t work for most companies.

Startups, specifically, need a proven strategy for driving predictable, sustainable growth.

Strategy First.
Then Content.

We begin every engagement by first understanding your business and your industry to determine how we can best help you achieve results. Strategy should be carefully prescribed—not dictated.

Our approach is to assess the unique needs of your organization, determine the right strategic mix of content assets, execute the strategy, measure results, learn, and adjust. Although the tools may be similar in most cases, smart strategy is not universal.

It all starts with kick-ass content–but it doesn’t stop there. 

Great content is just the start.

We know that even if you create the greatest content in the world, it ultimately doesn’t matter unless it’s seen by the right people. It needs to serve a purpose–to drive search traffic, generate social buzz, or raise your site’s domain authority.

So we develop outreach and promotion strategies for every piece of content we create to make sure it works as hard as possible.

Typical Content Lifecycle

Our team carries each piece from the planning/ideation stage through to creation, and on to outreach, promotion, and distribution. We can also work with your internal team or other partners to do additional distribution or paid promotion.

Everything serves a purpose.

Our approach is about maximizing the value of every piece of content that we create. Once we have an understanding of what we need to accomplish, then we develop a plan to create the strategic content assets we need to achieve our goals.

Each piece of content that we create is specifically engineered to work within the strategy and create results.
