The term content strategy is primarily used in the areas of digital branding, digital transformation and iROI digital marketing. A content strategy describes the targeted planning, creation and distribution of digital content such as texts, images or videos in order to achieve specific goals - for example, to win more customers or make a brand better known.
Instead of posting content at random, a content strategy allows you to think carefully about what should appeal to whom, when and where the content should appear and how it should be designed. In doing so, you make sure you know your target group well and fulfil their wishes. In this way, the content strategy ensures that content does not get lost on the web, but really makes an impact.
An example: An online shop for environmentally friendly clothing wants to attract more visitors to its website through a content strategy. To achieve this, the team regularly plans blog posts about sustainable fashion, uses appealing photos on social media and shoots short information videos. Step by step, the shop is consolidating its brand and targeting environmentally conscious customers. In this way, the content strategy helps to make the digital measures successful and measurable.
