Content, Briefly

Is Content Theater a Good Strategy?


Listen Later

In this episode of Content, Briefly, Chloe, Eric, and Jimmy unpack the idea of “content theater” — creating content not just to be consumed, but to shape perception, legitimacy, and trust.

They debate when content breadth can be more valuable than depth, especially for small teams selling to larger companies, and explore how content can signal scale, strategy, and credibility even if it’s rarely read end‑to‑end. The conversation digs into surround‑sound marketing, MVP content, and the tension between quality, quantity, and checkbox marketing.

The episode also examines modern content consumption realities — skimming, algorithms, repurposing, AI summaries, and LLM discovery — and asks a provocative question: should content be created with the assumption that no one will read it?

A thoughtful, nuanced discussion for marketers navigating scale, perception, and the evolving role of content in 2026.
