Working with us, step by step


Your organization is unique, including your challenges, goals, and your project’s scope. Before we start, we create a custom plan with clear stages and key activities at each point, so you know what to expect as we go forward.

  1. Stage 1: Discovery and strategy

    We take a deep look at your organization and your audience, using research and data to identify gaps and challenges in your current approach to content.

  2. Stage 2: Design

    At the design stage, we create the backbone of your strategy by defining your content and functional needs. We use the information we’ve gathered to create tools, models, frameworks, and processes that will make up your audience-focused content strategy.

  3. Stage 3: Validation

    Our recommendations are based on research, so we test our content strategies with audiences and internal stakeholders.

  4. Stage 4: Development

    At this stage, we work with stakeholders on development. Depending on the needs of the project, we may:

    • Create detailed standards and guidelines.
    • Define a content migration plan.
    • Establish style guides or templates.
    • Revise old content or write new content to meet your new standards.

    • Train your in-house team to develop the content.
    • Provide editorial oversight to ensure that the new/revised content meets the standards.
    • Carry out all the development work for you.
  5. Stage 5: Publication and maintenance

    Publication: Your team will publish your new/revised content through your content management system.

    Maintenance: We can work with you to create a maintenance plan so you’re ready to monitor and evolve your content strategy.
