A carefully planned content marketing strategy contains several key ingredients including an understanding of who you\u2019re creating content for (e.g., your persona or personas), how your content will help them, and some key performance indicators to measure success.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The editorial plan should include what categories and topics you plan to write about, how you intend to amplify your content (e.g., social media<\/a>, email<\/a>, etc.) and\u2014the most important bit of all\u2014a list of relevant, highly engaging ideas that incorporates a balance of evergreen and time-sensitive content.<\/span><\/p>\n
