Content, content, content. It’s the buzzword of digital and constant call to create. Content is king, right? Yes, but no. You see, content is royally important, but the strategic development and deployment of that content is really where the rubber hits the road. Or maybe where the king gets his crown?

When it comes to Social Content Creation, it’s all about planning and intention. Instead of driving my clients to aimlessly produce fluff, I encourage them to adopt a more calculated approach to social that is founded on these necessary implementations:

• Consistency If Content is king, then Consistency is the queen that holds him accountable. Company leadership must regularly ensure that all social media channels are aesthetically aligned and publishing content that is representative of the value promised to customers. Inconsistent messaging can confuse customers and even tarnish credibility.
• Branded Design Billions of images and other pieces of data flood timelines and news feeds daily, so how you choose to visually characterize your brand determines its ability to stand out in a sea of sameness. Investing in graphic design and copywriting support is particularly valuable as you craft your social media persona to increase brand awareness.
•  Meticulous Storytelling The challenge that many companies face is nailing down a solid narrative that carries across multiple channels. While it should be a concrete story, it is important to know that it can be told in many ways. Take time to refine your company’s identity. Using creative campaigns that emotionally capture your audience, brands can authentically share their visions with present and prospective customers.
• Planning & Publishing Consistency can only be achieved through organization and precise scheduling that is driven by data and real customer insights. Once you understand who your customer segments are and what they value, you can craft a content calendar that focuses on reaching your specific target audience when they are most active on social platforms.
