AM #004: Content Studio: Ultimate System for Creating + Shipping Your Content [with Tempate]

Updated: Feb 14


To my creatives: This is for you.


I, too, am a creative at heart.


I spent 22+ years immersed in dance & the arts, spending my days in the studio refining my technique and getting lost in movement and choreography.



After a career-ending injury, I transitioned into corporate.


→ The music was now meetings.

→ The studio was now the office.

→ The dancers were now coworkers.

→ The costume was now blazers & heels.

→ The performance was now sales pitches.


It took me years to adjust.


Still room for the creative, but a little more "buttoned-up"


• More order

• More process

• More structure

• More system


6+ years later into my marketing work, I've finally landed on a creative process & system that allows me to respect yet stretch the boundaries a bit:


Strategic AND Experimental

Structured AND Imaginative

Systematic AND Expressive

Focused AND Explorative

Clear AND Creative


AND, unlike any artist I know, I've got the entire thing documented. :)


I call it, my Content Studio.


A digital space where I turn to when creating content for ads, copy, blogs, campaigns, social posts, newsletters, and more.


Here's a sneak peek:


Content Studio Template


Here's the content studio breakdown, divided into 3 sections:


1. Strategy


The strategy section keeps me in line.


It gives me a high-level overview of my content plan and keeps me laser-focused.

In this section, I include:


• Content strategy canvas

• Weekly content schedule

• Pillars or topics to focus on


This section creates my boundaries

.

Fluid & flexible, but there to help me from falling into "random-acts-of-creating".


2. Ideate & Create


This section is where I hang out day-to-day.


It guides me through the entire content creation process.


In this section, I include:


• A list of running ideas/topics to refer to

• Hook templates to help with content lead-ins

• A process & system for creating content

• My exact content calendar where I manage & build content


This section keeps me moving from idea → execution.


3. Tools & Links


This section is my content toolbox.


It makes all my tech, tools, frameworks, and inspiration easily accessible.

In this section, I include:


• Links to my content tech stack

• SWIPE folder w/ links to inspirational sites

• Frameworks I refer to when creating content or copy

• List of links to creator profiles I follow & learn from


This gives me a space to access the necessities and also spark inspiration.


So, if you're like me, looking to add a little more structure & system to your content creation process, feel free to use mine as a starting point.

You can duplicate this inside Notion and make it your own.


Or, if you're not using Notion - you can create something similar using tools you're familiar with (Google Drive, Asana, Airtable, etc.)


Well, that's all for today.


Back to the studio. 💃🏼
