The table was both practical and tactical, which resulted in more than tens of thousands of shares, and hundreds of thousands of views. I remain humbled by its popularity, and the feedback I’ve had since I published it. Since then I’ve been asked many questions, of which two stand out: Why does ‘content strategy’ only have one element dedicated to it? What kind of skills does a content team need?

6 Calls to Action That Will Boost Brand Engagement

It’s something no piece of content should ever be without. Not having one is like loading the bases in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and then watching three strikes sail down the middle of the plate without swinging. What was the point of doing all that work if you weren’t going to capitalize on it? Whether it is a blog post, a contributed byline, an online video or an infographic, there has to be something that gives your audience a clear path forward, a next step that provides them with the insights they’re looking for.
