16 Signs You’re a Content Strategist

As a content strategist, you’re a marketer, editor, content producer, writer, creative and analyst all bundled up into one neat package. And you’re nailing it. You think…

1. You looked at this title and thought ‘huh, Buzzfeed style’

2.   The words “we’re targeting everyone” make you feel…

3.   You’ve given up trying to explain to your mates what you do

4.   So you say you’re ‘just a writer’

5.   Yes, juuust like Carrie Bradshaw (sigh)

6.   When a client uses track changes to edit your copy…

7.   When someone asks you to explain how facebook works…

8.   And when someone leaves a comment or shares one of your articles

9. The word ‘ideation’ is your mortal enemy

10. You can produce content on almost any subject and nail some seriously niche business objectives

11. You say you’re not a marketer but some days the lines are a little too blurred for your liking

12. You crusade for good writers and journalists to be paid what they deserve

14. When someone asks you for ‘expert commentary’ you’re convinced you’ve officially made it

15. When the client approves all of your ideas in one swift email

16. Which means only one thing – you’re done!
