My Process
Welcome to a behind-the-scenes look at how I turn ideas into impactful content. From the initial brief to the final draft, my process is all about understanding, creativity, and precision.
Great content, like fine wine, requires time to mature into something truly exceptional.
Step 1
First things first, I dive into the brief. It's like the blueprint for what's to come. I make sure I understand both the what and the why behind the content. Who's going to read it? What do we want them to feel or do? Getting this right sets the stage for everything that follows.
Step 2
Next up, I get up close and personal with the target audience's needs and preferences, guided by the brief. It's all about stepping into their shoes to see the world from their perspective and ensure the content will resonate and engage.
Step 3
Sometimes, it takes a village. Meeting with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) is the key to adding secret ingredients to the recipe - ultimately, their insights are necessary to create unique content that can stand out.
Step 4
With these insights in hand, I can finally start researching the topic. This is where I gather all the nuts and bolts, from stats to stories, to create a narrative that's not just informative but compelling in the truest sense.
Step 5
After research, I develop my ideas into concrete thoughts. If visuals or diagrams are needed, I sketch those out too. It's all about building a solid foundation that we can refine and polish.
Step 6
Now, it's time to pass the baton for content and technical review. This collaborative phase is crucial for fine-tuning the message and ensuring everything is spot-on, from facts to flow.
Step 7
With feedback in hand, I create the final draft. This is where everything comes together in a piece of content that's ready to make an impact, perfectly tailored to its audience and purpose.
And there you have it—a peek into how I transform a simple brief into content that connects and communicates, from start to finish.
