Content Operations
State of Flow
Learn how teams build channels that grow sustainably — with systems, not stress.
Clean up the content workflow before the next busy period
Open a recurring project the way a new editor would. If they can't find the current script, references and approved media unaided, mark what's out of date.
Test the content idea before the recording session
Explain the idea to a teammate before booking the session. If it takes a long defense to land, refine it first. Notes from our visit to Martell Media.
Keep the caption beside the video it belongs to
Write the LinkedIn post and the Instagram caption in the project that holds the finished video, so whoever publishes can check it as one piece of work.
Give each platform version a place in the publishing plan
A founder interview can become a main video, two shorts and a written post. Give each version a purpose, a channel and a time so none get lost in a folder.
Explain the customer outcome before asking for their time
Open your outreach with a situation the buyer recognizes, like a founder spending an evening chasing edit feedback, then back it with a real example.
Decide who needs to work in the project and who needs to review
Map the handoffs before you invite everybody in. A share link can cover the client's approval, and each person should know what their step means.
Make the first content project easier to start
Make your first project the question from yesterday's sales call. Put it in the brief, add the facts, name a reviewer, and test that one handoff.
Give useful content time to build familiarity
Ask new customers what they saw and what made them get in touch, record it beside the series, and use the answers to pick which topics to develop.
Make the content handoff small enough to delegate
Ask the owner for one customer question, the correct answer and a concrete example. The editor shapes the video and the owner reviews the claims.
