  • Map your content formats to your customer journey stages to ensure you’re creating the right content for each phase of the buying process.
  • Build measurement into your strategy from the start by establishing baseline metrics and clear KPIs for each content initiative.
  • Plan for content repurposing from the beginning to maximize efficiency – one cornerstone piece can spawn multiple derivative content assets.
