What is a B2B documented content strategy (DCS)?
A B2B documented content strategy, or DCS, contains details on two main factors:
The purpose of content as it relates to your business goals
How you plan to carry out content marketing to accomplish your goals
What specifically goes into a comprehensive DCS?
Start with purpose. Describe the goals and objectives content will support.
Articulate your company’s brand. What brand voice will speak through your content? What aspects of your brand’s “personality” do you want to showcase?
Include target market buyer personas. Know and understand the audience you’re targeting.
Identify what the content supply will look like. Who will create content? How often? What types?
Describe methods to ensure your content gets found and seen. How will you distribute it? How will you drive traffic to your content?
Determine KPIs based on objectives and measurable metrics.
Select technology tools to efficiently execute your strategy.
