Presentation by Kelsye Nelson and Misty Weaver at Lean Startup Seattle December 2, 2013
Content Strategy and Marketing for the Lean Startup: An exercise in editorial calendar, using templates and creating / repurposing content for multiple channels.
“Useful, usable content is a
process, not a product. It needs
people who are responsible for
ongoing, editorial oversight.
Set standards to inform
changes and inspire growth.”
– From Content Strategy for the Web by Kristina

How would you write a short summary (snippet)?
What short headlines would you create for social

Are there topics, keywords or hashtags you’d
apply?
