Channels of distibution. Right person, right time, right channel. You need content for each and people make purchase decisions all over the place so you need to be in ALL of these places. So, multiple all of the content by channel.
Employee generated content as a b2b example. It is low effort contnet form employees.
Got all of this content, now you need to organize and and think about where to deploy. Collecting blog posts, stories, articles and now you need a plan. 1. Editorial calendar.
Content is data. Deliver the the 1:1 message….the other “one” is the content. If you don’t have the content to give them, you’re still not delivering the 1:1.
