What Does a Content Strategist Do?
A content strategist decides the shape of a content programme — audience and topics, formats and channels, publishing cadence, and how success is measured. They turn scattered content production into a system that supports real business goals.
The role sits above day-to-day writing and pairs closely with SEO. It is planning and documentation work — ideal for remote teams.
