The Content Manager / Content Strategist needs to determine the type of content to use to reach the audience. You need to find the right place to share your content with a group of users. You need to optimize your content by managing the process of launching it.
Strategic pieces serve in the decision-making process related to the purpose and delivery of content, as well as the creation and measurement of its effectiveness.
Content remains the “new black” of digital marketing. After a few years, digital content is still at the top, but only if you have a strategist to figure out the theme of your content and where it’s best delivered. This is one of the thing a content manager / strategist does.

Superstar strategist and content manager skills
Content managers need to be experts in all aspects necessary to develop effective content strategies, such as:
- Audience survey
This includes developing personas for your target audience and using other analytical tools to help your organization understand what inspires your target audience. Knowledge of SWOT or gap analysis, SEO, and business intelligence can help in this process.
- Development of editing strategy
It’s important to understand your branding guidelines before creating ideas and messages that fit your target audience. Developing specific plans and workflows for content development is a necessary part of your editing strategy. This should include the voice needed to fit the audience and a complete assessment of the venue.
- Production manager
This includes detailed production planning for content migration, launch, and management. This may include tagging, editing, fact checking, search engine optimization, or other tasks related to the public release of content.
- Content promotion
If you don’t see the content, it doesn’t exist. The goal of content managers / strategists is to monitor, respond, and monetize content so that it remains in people’s minds until the next work.
- Analysis
There are advanced business intelligence tools that can link to any content on the web. Running an A / B test or running Google Analytics is just a small part of what you can use to test and measure the content you’re currently creating.
Content managers / strategists can perform all these activities independently in a small business or oversee a team of professionals. In any case, that role requires a great deal of expertise.
