As an integrated agency we offer multiple services, but it takes a content strategy to pull all of those elements together to ensure consistency and direction. It\u2019s rather like a map and charts those content examples \u2013 such as PR<\/a>, social media, design<\/a>, digital marketing<\/a> \u2013 through to the destinations of business goals and objectives. It\u2019s an ongoing transformational process which we regularly analyse and assess to ensure that it is achieving maximum results.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n Have you ever wondered why your local supermarket is laid out like it is? Have you noticed the similarities between different stores? For example, fresh produce is almost always near the entrance.<\/p>\n Think of the layout of a supermarket as a content strategy. It\u2019s a shop with many, many different products to sell, all positioned to their best advantage to maximise sales.<\/p>\n As a fully integrated agency, we have expertise in many disciplines, and rather like the supermarket, we\u2019ll use them to their full advantage to position your business, brand and products to maximise your goals and objectives.<\/p>\n We create many forms of content \u2013 more of that later – but without a strategy that\u2019s all it is; content. There\u2019s a reason why fresh produce is almost always near the store entrance (Google it), and there\u2019s a reason why our carefully honed strategy will elevate your content to the next level.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n What should every good content strategy consist of? The answer is goals. What do you want to achieve, what does success look like, how are you going to measure it? Every content campaign should be tracked and measured and that means defining the goals as precisely, and in as much detail as possible, from the outset.<\/p>\n Next, we need to map activity. All new Cornerstone clients go through an in-depth onboarding process that leaves no stone unturned, and from there we\u2019ll create a strategy that will involve our vastly experienced PR professionals<\/a>, who will identify the best channels for your content. This includes a calendar of activity to ensure your strategy is sustained and consistent.<\/p>\n Then we’ll decide on the content to match your goals. This is definitely not a one-size-fits-all experience. The best content strategies use a combination of content types to capture audience interest from different angles. We\u2019ll match the content to the channels, and consider what tools we are going to employ to hit the mark.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll also consider your budget. Content marketing<\/a> is an investment ultimately designed to generate leads and revenue. Assigning a proper budget that will allow your strategy to succeed is vitally important.<\/p>\n All of this is an ongoing, transformational process which we regularly analyse and assess to ensure that our strategy is achieving maximum results.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n As an integrated agency, we have a wide spectrum of expertise:<\/p>\n Brainstorming is an important part of developing any strategy, so we\u2019ll take advantage of that diverse knowledge, strengths and expertise to ensure the best focus for your strategy and ensuing campaign, and then sense check it before we begin.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n Allow us to run the following two sentences past you:<\/p>\n 1) The Cornerstone InnoScreen<\/a><\/em> platform is a web-based, digital signage solution<\/a> that allows businesses, brands and organisations to tailor their communications to their target audience via strategically positioned smart TV screens. All you need is a smart TV and access to the internet.<\/p>\n 2) Reach your audience the smart way, thanks to the Cornerstone’s InnoScreen<\/em> platform. Our web-based solution allows you to communicate through smart TV screens placed where you want them.<\/p>\n Effectively, it\u2019s the same message \u2013 the first written for an email marketing campaign, the second for a short video on the same subject.<\/p>\n Great content does not come out of thin air. It requires the hard work of writers, designers and, in this case, video editors, who can create high quality content that is readable, visually appealing and inviting to specific audiences.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n Multichannel marketing is now a standard approach. It means promoting content and interacting with audiences on a variety of platforms. Social media, email marketing, owned websites, display ads, video, advertorials, earned media, and more, are all channels that can, and should, be used in a content strategy.<\/p>\n The trick is working out which channels are most suited to your target audience. For example, a B2B content strategy will definitely include LinkedIn, while a B2C strategy would be more focused on Facebook, or even TikTok for younger audiences.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n Let\u2019s take a look at the most popular channels in a little more detail:<\/p>\n As a full-service agency we offer expertise in all the disciplines that will create, support and enhance your content marketing<\/a>, but it all begins with strategy – identifying and setting the goals and objectives you want to reach, from sales and increased revenue, to establishing a loyal customer base and attracting new customers.<\/p>\n Quality content that is creative, relevant, valuable and engaging \u2013 it\u2019s a compelling combination that comes as second nature to the Cornerstone team.<\/p>\n If you want to work with us to create the perfect content strategy get in touch<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
