Creating enough content to brand, communicating value to your customers or creating a call to action with your key prospects takes a lot of time, especially if you want to distribute content on timely, frequent schedule. Some people have the notion that content must be developed internally because nobody else understands their business. Bull. That’s just not necessarily true. I have produced content on those internal teams, and I have hired part-time employees just out of college. That’s okay but be sure you understand that somebody needs to be around to help them have business acumen, to edit, and to provide lots of patience. Sometimes I will miss the mark when I write for a client. However, most of the time, what I write becomes a painless process for my client or my angle or perspective opens new ways to look at their services or products. ·??????This is what I do as an outsource content creator… ·??????Research industry niches and competition. ·??????Interview subject matter experts, clients, and partners. ·??????Produce content specific to the distribution channel. Social media, websites, e-news, media, and other content, though often repurposed is different even if some of the same audience might view the content in different channels. ·??????Craft audience-focused content. ·??????Optimize for key words, search engine optimization, and hash tags. ?????????????????????????? ?I use what I have learned in many industries over the years, but more importantly, I have attended meetings on the management teams of both large and mid-size companies as an employee. I know the pain of not having the right answers or the results of poor customer service or discovering missed opportunities. Ask me how I can help you and what that would look like to support your content requirements.?Let's talk soon during a complimentary meeting! #contentcreation #digitalmarketing #linkedinexpert

This month, Managing Communications Consulting presented our workshop, Why can’t Executives and Managers Understand Younger Workers, for the Hampton Roads Chamber's Small Business Education program. Human Resources professionals, recruiters, and small business owners participated. Though we had too much material to cover, our audience reiterated the need for more understand of the "why" this question impacts organizations and how the conversation and change in strategies is crucial for recruiting, retaining, and engaging younger workers. Missed it? Interested in participating? We have revised our face-to-face training for a webinar in February. We will look at the whys but dive deep in how the leaders make the decisions they do and share valuable strategies which build from four key interests which all generations share.
