Content Foundations
Scale your content with AI without losing your voice.
Learn the essential frameworks Erika Heald uses to scale content teams, workflows, and strategy—without burning out your team.
About the Book
Content marketing doesn’t fail because of bad ideas.
It fails because teams don’t have the right foundations to scale.
In Content Foundations, Erika Heald shares the essential frameworks every content leader needs to scale their strategy with confidence and consistency.
These frameworks will help you:
- – Define and document your brand voice
- – Create a minimum viable style guide your team actually uses
- – Build audience personas that inform, not collect dust
- – Develop templates that save time (and sanity)
- – Streamline intake and briefing processes
- – Establish governance workflows that allow you to scale your content without losing your brand voice
This is not theory. It’s the exact playbook Erika has used with SaaS companies, agencies, and content entrepreneurs to end random acts of content—for good.
Who It’s For
This book is designed for:
- – CMOs looking to unify their content strategy across teams
