Creating a compelling content strategy statement

Join Tracy Playle for this free, online workshop on creating a compelling content strategy statement.

New Date:
Thursday, 14 September 2023
13:00 - 15:00 BST (Online)

The content strategy statement is one of the most important parts of any content strategy. It’s the thing that pulls the whole thing together, that you will unite colleagues and projects around, and that is designed to have you all working in the same direction. Some content strategy statements are as short as two or three words. Some might be two or three paragraphs. There is no right way to create them, and so there’s lots of scope for being creative. 

In this workshop, we will explore the role and purpose of a content strategy statement, share techniques for engaging stakeholders and colleagues in creating one, and have you create one for your work and your organisation right there in the session. You could even bring your team and work on it together!

What we’ll cover

  • What a content strategy statement is, with examples of others written for and by other organisations

  • Exercises and activities to co-create yours with your stakeholders and colleagues

  • Writing your own draft content strategy statement in the moment, and leaving our webinar with it completed.

Who should attend?

  • Directors and Heads of strategy, marketing, communications and brand

  • Team leaders and managers

  • Internal communication professionals 

  • Anyone involved in the development of content strategies
