Maximize Your Time: How I Created a Month of Content in Just 2 Hours

As the CEO and Founder of Stratify Creative Agency , a fresh, fun, and forward-thinking creative agency, I understand how crucial it is to maintain a consistent online presence—especially when you're just starting out. But let’s be real: balancing client work, strategy meetings, and everyday operations while trying to pump out regular content can feel like an uphill battle. ??

So, I decided to put my own advice into practice: batch content creation.?

Batch Content Creation: A Game-Changer for Small Businesses?

For those new to the term, batch content creation is the process of creating multiple pieces of content in one dedicated session. Instead of creating content piecemeal, I blocked off two focused hours, set my creative gears in motion, and left with an entire month of content— ~3 post per week, designed to keep Stratify top of mind without overwhelming myself.?

The Results: 1 Month of Content in Just 2 Hours?

In that short session, I created a well-rounded content mix designed to engage and inform our growing audience:?

• 1 Reel: Short, snappy, and perfect for increasing reach and engagement.?

• 2 GIFS: A fun, looping visual that captures our brand’s playful side.?

• 3 Carousel Posts: To dive deeper into topics, perfect for educating our audience on industry trends and best practices.?

• 2 Static Images: Simple, effective visuals that educate our highlight key messages and quotes.?

• 5 Instagram Stories: Quick, interactive content to keep our followers engaged in real-time.
• 1 Meme: A humorous, shareable image that taps into relevant trends, helping to humanize our brand and connect with a wider audience.?

Why Batch Content Works for My New Businesses and How it Can Help Yours?

Stratify is a new player in the creative agency game, and while we're working to establish our digital footprint, it’s essential to be strategic about where we invest our time. Here’s why batching content has been a lifesaver:?

?? Brand Consistency: We’ve started with one post per week to build our presence gradually. Consistency is key when you’re new on the scene, and batching helps maintain that rhythm without feeling the pressure of daily content demands.?

?? SEO and Strategy Focus: With content scheduled and out of the way, our focus shifts to what really matters—strategy and SEO. Optimizing our posts for keywords, refining our messaging, and aligning each piece with our broader brand goals.?

? Time Management: As a business owner, time is our most valuable asset. Instead of jumping from task to task, dedicating a focused block of time to content creation frees up the rest of the week for client work, networking, and growth.?

Tips to Try Batching Yourself?

?? Set Clear Goals: Decide on the type of content that aligns with your brand and marketing strategy. What message do you want to get across this month??

?? Outline Your Content: Have a basic structure in place before you start creating. This will save time and keep your workflow smooth.?

?? Use Tools to Your Advantage: Canva for design (everyone knows I’m a huge Canva fan), Sprinklr , Sprout Social, Inc. , Loomly , or Hootsuite for scheduling. These tools streamline the process and make posting a breeze—you can also gain incredible insights! I have worked with each of these tools, and they are very user friendly! You can also schedule through Canva if you only have the budget for one tool—like me. ?

???? Stay Flexible: While batching is great for efficiency, leave room to adjust your content if new opportunities or trends arise—so your brand can also be ‘very demure, mindful and cutesy’!?
