39. Round up of take aways
#JeffsMarch:
- Audiences on each channel engage differently – know the difference
and plan content to reach each one
- Prepare as much as possible in advance… But be prepared to throw
it out the window if there’s a better opportunity.
- Set up ways to get content approved quickly. If some elements
require more approving, do them in advance.
- Find a moment in the chaos to review what you’ve just done. Are you
missing anything?
- Look for opportunities in every process to make it easier to acquire
and manage content.

40. Round up of take aways
Partnerships:
- If the brand fit is right, you’re allowed in.
- Work on individual relationships, not templates.
- Look for influencers with reach. Concentrate efforts on best return.
- Low profile partnerships can work just as well if you have a hook.
- Try things. Be prepared to ditch failing initiatives. Develop ones with
potential.
- Subject matter experts make a difference.
- Play the long game, be patient where you can and adapt your
strategy as you go.
