#19Chapter 03 — Content Strategy & Editorial Calendar
I need a detailed content brief for the following piece. Fill in all 8 fields with specific, actionable detail — not generic placeholders. **Topic:** [Your topic] **Content type:** [Blog post / whitepaper / email sequence / landing page / etc.] **Brand:** [Your brand name and 1-sentence description] **Business goal:** [What this piece needs to achieve — signups, awareness, SEO ranking, etc.] Generate a content brief with these 8 fields: 1. **Target persona** — Describe the specific audience segment, their current mindset, and what brought them to this content 2. **Key message** — One sentence the reader should take away 3. **Supporting points** — 3-4 specific arguments, data points, or proof points to build the key message 4. **Tone reference** — Describe the voice with specific comparisons or examples, not adjectives alone 5. **Competitor angle to avoid** — What cliché or overused approach in this space should we deliberately sidestep 6. **Call to action** — The specific action, destination, and motivation for the reader 7. **Internal links/assets** — Suggest 2-3 types of existing content or pages this piece should reference (I'll fill in the actual URLs) 8. **Example benchmark** — Describe the style, depth, and quality level we're targeting, as if referencing a specific published piece Make the brief specific enough that a freelance writer with no context about our brand could produce an on-target first draft from this document alone.
