Course Overview
Content strategy and operations address the increasingly complex demands that organisations place on the creation, delivery, management and measurement of content across web and social media platforms.
With content and its marketing sitting at the heart of customer acquisition and retention, its importance cannot be underestimated.
Content strategy and operations skills, tools and processes blend established disciplines – such as communications and editorial planning, marketing and content - with newer disciplines including: digital workflow management and authoring, behavioural insight and analytics. It also encompasses organisational management and strategic planning.
Delivered by ex-Googler Carolina Vicente, this Content Strategy training course will help organisations understand how content strategy and content operations work, their positive impact, and how and why it needs to be deployed across any business or organisation.

The course was delivered in a very professional way. Excellent venue and atmosphere. The pace was adapted to all participants and the content was useful and interesting. A lot of study cases and examples made the theory easy to be implemented in practice later on. Very motivating and enriching course!
