Align teams, channels and content around a shared business strategy.

Audiences experience your brand across LinkedIn, AI search, newsletters, social media, media coverage, executive platforms, employee advocacy and many other touchpoints.

But many organizations still plan content in silos. Communications teams focus on reputation. Social teams focus on engagement. Marketing teams focus on leads and demand generation. The result is duplicated work, fragmented messaging and missed opportunities to maximize the value of strong content.

At the same time, social listening has evolved beyond engagement metrics into a strategic intelligence function. Organizations use social and search insights to identify emerging topics, understand stakeholder concerns, spot shifts in sentiment, and uncover the questions people are actively asking. These signals can help communicators, marketers, and social teams make smarter decisions about what content to create, which narratives to prioritize, and where to focus their resources for the greatest impact.

This 2.5-hour virtual workshop will equip you to build a unified content strategy that aligns communications, social media and marketing around shared goals. Through live collaboration, breakout discussions and applied exercises, you'll learn how to create content systems that strengthen reputation, support business objectives and generate more value from every content investment.

AGENDA

1:00–1:30 p.m.
One Strategy, Many Outcomes: Building Content Across Departments to Achieve Business Goals

The strongest content programs serve multiple purposes at once. A research report can support thought leadership, fuel social content, generate media coverage, strengthen reputation and drive lead generation. Yet many organizations still plan content separately across communications, social media and marketing teams.

This session introduces a practical framework for creating an integrated content strategy that supports multiple business objectives while reducing duplication and improving coordination. You will learn:

  • The Unified Content Framework: How to align communications, social media and marketing around shared priorities and business goals.
  • One Story, Many Outcomes: Techniques for creating content that simultaneously supports reputation, audience engagement, thought leadership and demand generation.
  • Audience-First Planning: How to organize content around stakeholder needs rather than internal team structures.
  • The Content Portfolio Approach: How to determine which stories belong in earned media, executive channels, social media, owned content and marketing campaigns.
1:30–1:40 p.m.
Breakout: Interactive Exercise

In small groups, you’ll create a content alignment map that connects one organizational initiative to multiple audiences, channels and business objectives.

1:40–2:10 p.m.
The Content Multiplier: Repurposing, Audience Intelligence and Social Listening

The pressure to create more content continues to grow. The organizations succeeding today are rarely creating more assets. They’re extracting more value in what’s produced, whether it starts as a webinar, report, executive interview, event or customer story.

This session explores how audience intelligence and content repurposing work together to improve efficiency, increase reach and strengthen business impact. You will learn about:

  • The New Role of Social Listening: How audience intelligence increasingly informs brand storytelling, reputation management strategic decision-making, all to inform content planning.
  • Reputation Signals That Matter: Identifying emerging narratives, audience concerns and stakeholder priorities before they become larger issues.
  • The Content Multiplier Framework: Turning reports, webinars, videos, executive insights and white papers into long-term content ecosystems.
  • Repurpose With Purpose: Practical approaches for adapting content across communications, social media, executive channels and marketing programs.

From Editorial Calendar to Content Engine: Operations, Workflow and Measurement

Strong content strategies require strong operational systems. As organizations increase content demands across channels, teams need better workflows, clearer ownership and stronger measurement practices.

  • Measure What Matters: Connect content performance to behavior change that aligns with business goals rather than isolated channel metrics.
  • The Timing Cascade: Coordinate content releases across communications, social media, executive channels and marketing initiatives for greater impact.
  • Build Workflows That Scale: Create processes that improve collaboration while reducing duplication and bottlenecks.
  • Use AI as an Operational Partner: Apply AI tools to planning, repurposing and optimization while maintaining human oversight.
