4. Content Governance and Operations
About the Class
Building an effective content strategy to develop the “content as coordinated communications” model enlists six responsibilities in the content life cycle (strategy, creation, production, merchandising, activation and measurement) to determine the planning and prioritization of the content creation.
- Content Governance & Lifecycle Creation (20 Minutes)
Details how to build content workflows, governance models, and repeatable lifecycles. Emphasizes the value of turning scattered habits into structured, sustainable operations. - Performing a Content Audit (20 Minutes)
Provides a step-by-step process for auditing content to evaluate relevance, performance, and alignment. Also shows how to use AI to support faster, more strategic audits. - Content Modeling (15 Minutes)
Introduces story packaging and content modeling techniques that make content more reusable and scalable. Teaches how to structure content like a modular system, not one-off assets.
