Course Overview

Digital content strategy addresses 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.

Digital content strategy 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.

This training course will help organisations understand how digital content strategy works, its positive impact and how and why it needs to be deployed across any business.
