Strategies: Content Marketing

Guides content marketing strategy across channels: content types, formats, distribution, and repurposing. 62% of successful B2B have a documented strategy; content repurposing addresses the top challenge—consistently developing new content. Use this skill when planning content across blog, email, social, video, and pages.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Scope

  • Content types: What you create (by purpose/theme)
  • Content formats: How it's delivered (article, video, email, post)
  • Channels: Where it's distributed (blog, email, X, LinkedIn, etc.)
  • Repurposing: One core content → multiple formats → multiple channels
  • Funnel mapping: Content by stage (awareness, consideration, decision)

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read Sections 3 (Value Proposition), 4 (Audience), 11 (Content Strategy).

Identify:

  1. Goals: Traffic, conversions, brand, retention
  2. Existing content: What already exists; audit gaps
  3. Capacity: Resources, tools, cadence
  4. Channels: Blog, email, social, video; which channels fit audience

Content Repurposing Matrix

Principle: One core content → multiple formats → multiple channels. Maximize ROI.

Core Content Formats Channels
Case study Article, video, infographic, slides Blog, email, LinkedIn, YouTube, sales deck
How-to guide Article, video, checklist, PDF Blog, email, YouTube, docs
Product update Article, email, post, video Blog, email, X, LinkedIn, changelog
Industry insight Article, podcast, post, newsletter Blog, Spotify, X, email

Example: One client success story → article (blog) + video (YouTube) + infographic (LinkedIn) + slides (sales) → 4 channels from 1 creation.

Funnel Mapping

Stage Content Focus Channels
Awareness Education, thought leadership, glossary, how-tos Blog, SEO, social, PR
Consideration Comparisons, case studies, demos, features Blog, email, landing, social
Decision Pricing, testimonials, product pages, case studies Website, email, sales
Retention Onboarding, newsletter, product updates, changelog Email, in-app, blog

Article Orientations

Article types by orientation—drives structure, SEO depth, and schema choice. See article-page-generator for page structure.

Orientation Examples Primary Goal SEO Priority
Funding / PR Funding rounds, acquisitions, executive hires Brand awareness, press, investor relations Low — thin content, few search queries
Product updates Feature launches, release notes, changelogs User education, product adoption Low–medium — internal announcements rarely rank
Guides / How-to Tutorials, step-by-step, best practices Education, lead nurture, authority High — matches search intent
News / Trending Industry news, hot topics, seasonal Engagement, social shares, topical relevance Medium — quick traffic spikes, short shelf life
Evergreen Pillar guides, glossaries, comparisons Long-term traffic, backlinks, authority High — compounds over time

SEO-driven vs non-SEO-driven: SEO-driven (how-to, listicles, comparisons) → target keywords, full optimization. Non-SEO-driven (funding, product updates) → focus on clarity, shareability, internal linking to SEO content. Hybrid: product launch posts can include SEO-friendly sections (e.g., "How to use [feature]").

Evergreen vs Timely Mix

Mix Ratio Use
Evergreen 70–75% Pillar guides, how-tos, comparisons, glossaries; long-term traffic; refresh 6–12 months
Timely 25–30% Seasonal, trending, news; quick spikes; link into evergreen pillars

Evergreen vs timely (article-level): Evergreen = year-round relevance; steady traffic; refresh every 6–12 months. Timely = weeks to months; spikes then decline; often one-and-done; use NewsArticle schema. Recommended mix: 70/30 or 60/40 evergreen-to-timely.

See content-strategy for SEO topic clusters and pillar-cluster structure.

Content Calendar

  • Map content types to topics and keywords
  • Prioritize by opportunity (volume → intent → feasibility)
  • Schedule by capacity; include update schedule for existing content
  • Plan repurposing: which core pieces become formats for which channels
  • Visual-first: Plan images in calendar from the start; see visual-content for specs and repurposing

Output Format

  • Content types plan (what to create)
  • Format × channel matrix (how and where)
  • Repurposing plan (one-to-many)
  • Funnel mapping (awareness/consideration/decision)
  • Content calendar (topics, keywords, deadlines, repurposing)
