# know your user‘s needs(!), your business goals, and brand
# define audit goals
# define quality criteria
# show important issues to your stakeholder to get resources
„show don‘t tell“
# content audit as basis for effective and efficient content work
# content is a business asset, treat it as such
Run an audit at least once a year to keep up the quality!
Take aways

Der Klassiker für Content Strategie
»Definitiv Pflichtlektüre für alle angehenden Content Strategen. Ein sehr,
sehr gutes Buch für jeden, der es mit dem Thema wirklich ernst meint.«
Mirko Lange, Talkabout
» ... Und ich bin echt begeistert, in welche Richtung die neue Auflage geht. In
der 1. Auflage ging es primär um das Thema Website, in dieser Auflage geht
es mehr um Strategien, welche unabhängig vom Kanal eingesetzt werden
können.
Es gibt so viele neue Fallbeispiele, Tools, Checklisten und zeitgemäße
Beispiele, die unglaublich viel Inspiration liefern... «
