Today we’re going on a content adventure.
But let’s recap first.
Last week I found myself in a fiery debate (with myself) on this:
“Human or AI - Who’s at the helm?”
And “we” settled this debate (or perhaps I shared my strong opinion 🙂), declaring that humans, in all their beautifully chaotic creativity, steer the ship.
And AI, with its razor-sharp precision, is a powerful tool in our arsenal - offering us data and insights to help us more swiftly navigate the vast, unpredictable sea of marketing.

Now onto our next adventure: the enthralling intersection of Content Strategy + AI.
Here’s the thing:
Content strategy, on its own, can be a beast of a project. Especially for our small business owners, solopreneurs, and solomarketer powerhouses wearing all the hats.
Early in my marketing career, I was intimidated by this.
The blank page and I had some intense stare-offs.
I was that artist - brimming with endless ideas but no sketch to guide my strokes.
Call it creative freedom or creative chaos. Either way, the corporate marketing world was craving some order from my tempest of thoughts.
It wasn’t long before I realized I needed to reign it in with a system.
A system that could harness the wild seas of inspiration into a focused strategy.
Not to leash my creativity, but to channel it towards purpose & direction.
This content system has been my north star for years, and recently, it’s received a tech upgrade - AI.
Today, I’m eager to share my content strategy system with you.
And no, it’s not penning the content for you. My opinion: AI isn’t ready to be your content creator.
Instead, think of AI as your silent partner, helping you draft a content plan for your business.
It’s not creating, but rather helping lay the groundwork - ensuring your creative outputs have a strong, strategic foundation.
Ok...
