02 / How I think

The answer is rarely
“more content.”

It’s understanding what’s missing.

Before we add another page, post, or campaign, we look at the whole picture. What are people trying to do? Where do they get stuck? What could your brand make clearer?

AI helps widen the research. Human judgment connects the dots, challenges the assumptions, and decides what deserves your attention.

  1. 01

    Look wider.

    Research the market, the audience, and the places they go for answers.

  2. 02

    Find the friction.

    Separate the loud signals from the problem worth solving.

  3. 03

    Choose a direction.

    Make deliberate choices about what to say, build, and prioritize.

  4. 04

    Make it useful.

    Put the strategy into practice, measure what matters, and refine.

03 / Field notes

A little less noise.
A little more perspective.

Short ideas from the way I approach the work.
Open a note. Take something useful.

01Search is a behavior, not a channel.Strategy

People don’t organize their questions around your marketing channels. They ask a colleague, compare a few search results, watch a demonstration, and ask an AI tool to explain the trade-offs.

A useful search strategy follows that decision. Start by mapping what someone needs to understand before choosing you. Then work out which sources and formats help them get there.

Try this: Choose one customer question. List the places someone might look for an answer, and check whether your brand contributes anything useful in each.

02Find the gap between what you say and what they need.Strategy

A brand can describe its services perfectly and still leave the buyer’s real question unanswered. “What do you offer?” is only the beginning. People also want to know whether it fits their situation, what will change, and what happens next.

Read your page from the perspective of someone making a decision. Look for the leap they have to make without evidence or explanation. That gap is often a better starting point than another keyword list.

Try this: Put your homepage beside five questions from actual sales conversations. Can a new visitor find a clear answer to each?

03Write for the decision, not the word count.Content

A strong content brief starts with a person, a question, and a decision. Length and format come later. The work should help someone understand a problem, weigh an option, or take a sensible next step.

Give the reader the explanation, evidence, and context that decision requires. Cut the parts that exist only to make the asset look substantial.

Try this: Finish this sentence before writing: “After reading this, someone should be able to…” If the answer is vague, the brief needs more thinking.

04 / Start a conversation

you can’t quite answer?

Tell me about your brand, what feels stuck,
and what you’re trying to change.
