Your 3-Ingredient Secret Content Formula


What’s Your Unique Advantage?

When shaping your brand’s content strategy, it’s not enough to focus on what you can create.

You have to figure out what you can create that others can’t.

That’s the difference between being just another voice in the noise and becoming the go-to source for your audience.

At its core, content strategy comes down to a simple three-part Venn diagram:

  1. What your audience wants to know. We talk a lot about audience-first content strategy because it works. Start here. Always.
  2. What your brand wants to say. Most brands start here instead. That’s why so much content feels like a sales pitch. (Sigh.)
  3. What unique information your brand has access to. This is your competitive edge. What information, advice, help can your business provide that no one else can?

And as AI floods the internet with generic, regurgitated content, that “unique information” factor is becoming more critical than ever.

So, how do you uncover what makes your content truly distinct?

Here are a few places to start:

  1. Expertise: What subject-matter experts, thought leaders, or specialists are within your organization—or closely connected to it?
  2. Data & Insights: What proprietary data, original research, or unique industry insights do you have access to?
  3. Experiences & Stories: What firsthand experiences, case studies, or behind-the-scenes knowledge can you share that others can’t?

Lean into these advantages. That’s how you move beyond “just making content” and start building a brand people trust.

What’s something unique your brand can share that no one else can? Hit reply—I’d love to hear it.

The 3 milestones that actually matter in a project.

The 3 Milestones That Actually Matter in a Project I didn’t have a newsletter idea this week. Not because there’s nothing to talk about—there’s too much to talk about. We’re in the messy middle of a few projects right now. That stage where everything is technically in progress, but nothing feels finished. There are strategy docs, meeting notes, Slack threads, and stray links floating around—but not a lot of clarity. And yet, I’ve come to realize: there are only three milestones that actually...

Solve Their Problems, Steal Their AttentionYour content’s job is to work, not just perform. The content you create, in its best form, is a tool your audience uses to get something done. The first step is knowing what their problems are (here’s how to do that). The second is figuring out how to solve them with the assets and resources you have: 1. Pretend you’re a startup Your audience has jobs to do—internal conversations to prep for, reports to write, initiatives to defend, goals to hit. The...

Having trouble hammering down those nails?

We’re in the business of solving problems. How do we know what they are? If you want to build something that earns attention, you have to understand what your audience is struggling with. It’s the surest path to marketing success: Find a pain point, and solve it. Here’s how to find those pain points: 1. Talk to people.
