Welcome to Season 2 of Coffees & Content, it’s so great to be back! In this first sip of the new season, I explore the powerful practice of taking a step back to review your content and strategy with a fresh perspective.
I share the common pitfall of getting too wrapped up in what we think our audience wants, sometimes losing touch with our authentic voice and gut feelings. Then discuss practical steps for reviewing your content, and cover tips for identifying audience needs, ensuring your message is on point and adding value to every piece of content.
Additionally, you will learn methods for gaining a broader perspective on your content strategy, including tools for analysing the big picture and ways to engage directly with your audience to gather feedback.
