Content Strategist Job Description
A Content Strategist’s role is to develop a content strategy that aligns with and sets out to achieve the company’s goals and objectives. He/she crafts content topics/pillars that aims to educate, entertain, inspire, and engage the company’s potential customers.
Unlike the Content Marketing Manager, a Content Strategist focuses on top-level content planning over execution. He/she is the “brain” of content creation, curation, planning, and research. The ultimate goal of a Content Strategist is to drive inbound traffic into the website and convince the reader into taking a profitable business action, strategizing the input of relevant and useful content.
As the key person in charge of the content strategy, the Content Strategist oversees and strategize the content pillars and sub pillars for audiences at all stages of the consumer journey. He/she must be familiar with the different types of customer personas the company is targeting. The Content Strategist collects information, does intensive research and analysis on the consumers’ thoughts and pain points towards the brand. Armed with this information, a Content Strategist then develops the brand’s content strategy to engage and convert new and existing audiences.
