Crafting a Winning Content Strategy

Take a moment to think about waves. I do it ALL the time ;-)

They're mesmerizing, right?

Picture the ocean—calm and endless. Somewhere out there, deep in its vastness, wind gently stirs the surface, creating the first ripple. That ripple gathers momentum, drawn by the invisible forces of nature, building as it journeys.

Slowly but steadily, it transforms into a powerful wave that crashes onto the shore, leaving its mark. Waves, in all their glory, are storytellers. They don’t ask about your background, your pace of life, or where you come from. Yet, they resonate universally, striking a chord that feels deeply personal.

Now, think about your content strategy as a wave - yep, here's the link up to my ramblings.

It starts as a ripple—an idea. With effort and direction, it grows, carrying your message far and wide until it leaves an undeniable impact. The concept is simple yet profound. Much like waves, stories transcend boundaries, they connect people, foster understanding, and ignite emotions. In the events industry, harnessing the art of storytelling is key to a winning content strategy.

Whether your aim is to attract more clients, showcase your services, or amplify your brand’s voice, storytelling can elevate your messaging, making it more relatable and memorable. Here’s some tips on how you can create waves with your content strategy.

6 Actionable Tips to Build a Winning Content Strategy

1. Start with Your “Why”

Every ripple begins with a force. For your content, understanding your core purpose is that driving energy. Ask yourself, "Why does my brand exist? How do my services benefit my clients?"

A clear sense of purpose permeates your messaging, making it authentic and compelling. Event suppliers thrive on creating experiences for organisers—make your purpose about enhancing those experiences.

2. Know Your Audience Inside and Out

Whether it’s a gentle tide or a roaring wave, the ocean responds to its environment.

Similarly, your content should adapt to your audience’s specific needs.

Who are your clients? What challenges do they face?

We know it can be a struggle standing out in the events industry. But speak directly to your customers pain points and provide solutions (a little bit like this blog - I've heard too many times - where do I start...

Tailoring your content to your customers struggles fosters trust and connection.

3. Shape Your Story Around Results

When a wave reaches the shore, it leaves behind traces—smoothened rocks, shells, even memories.

Your storytelling should do the same.

Use case studies and success stories to showcase how you’ve helped others transform their brands or events. For instance, highlight a past client who increased their engagement metrics thanks to your brand advice.

Concrete results build credibility and inspire confidence.

4. Bring Value Through Educational Content

Waves connect us to the ocean’s rhythm, but they also teach us—about strength, consistency, and the beauty of persistence.

Your content should do the same.

Create value-packed blogs, infographics, and videos that educate event suppliers. Topics like “How to improve the Visitor Experience" for example, are always in demand.

5. Make It Visual and Engaging

The allure of waves isn’t just in their sound or their movement—it’s their sheer beauty.

Apply this principle to your content. Share stunning visuals, captivating videos, and impactful graphics.

A carousel post showcasing an event’s before-and-after transformation can immediately catch attention. Use native video on platforms like LinkedIn to walk people through your process, demonstrating your expertise in action.

6. End with a Call to Action - Always

After a wave’s dramatic crash, it retreats, leaving the sea to ponder its next move.

Similarly, each of your content pieces should guide your audience to take the next step. Whether it’s inviting them to read more, download your resource, or sign up for a workshop, a strong Call to Action (CTA) ensures your wave keeps moving forward.
