It's a blend of art and science that requires constant experimentation and refinement. To do so effectively, you need strong tools at your disposal that go beyond the limited analytics available natively from social platforms.The first 24 - 72 hours are critical for assessing content performance. You want to establish a strong early trajectory for your content to rank highly in search and boost organic discovery.Benchmarking content performance allows you to understand what's working and what's not working, so you can focus on making incremental improvements over time. This is particularly valuable given how often social platforms' algorithms change.Key Highlights[1:15] Introduction of podcast guest, James Creech[3:50] How James Got Involved with Influencer Marketing[6:20] What James' Business OffersHow does Measure Studio differ from other content measurement tools?[9:22] Measure Studio's Price Point[15:30] How to Create Brand ImpactWhen creating a content strategy you need to think of the elements.
