Getting started in content strategy is difficult. The industry is still relatively new, and so there's much debate about what the right blend of tactics are from multiple disciplines that make up the most effective content strategies. This presentation explains content strategy for beginners through the lens of the Jim Collins book, Good to Great, by leveraging his "Hedgehog Concept" as a metaphor for developing a strategy for great content. Originally presented May 22, 2014 at the Zenith Social Media Marketing Conference in Duluth, Minnesota.

- As Internet marketers and search marketers, this can only help us because Internet math is business math. That math can shine a light on where things are going well and where there are real issues with the business. If you follow the math further than to where it leaves a web page, you can see how it connects to revenue. You can see how it affects the health and well-being of the business itself. You can see how your ideas either contribute to the success, stagnation or failure of a company based on how customers act at every stage of their journey.
