What is content strategy?
Deciding what each platform is for, which formats carry the brand, who makes them and when. Then shooting to that plan. For the German-speaking market, it also means German tone and understatement.
I work with brands and with creators, and both get the same thing from me: a plan their team can follow and shoots that look like them.
What does a content plan include?
Formats, cadence, creator roles, shoot schedule and what each platform is for. It fits on a few pages.
The plan answers practical questions. What goes on Instagram, what goes on TikTok, where YouTube adds depth. Which creators carry which role. When the shoots happen and what each one delivers.
Because content shaped for one platform fails on another. Reels and carousels on Instagram, hook-led video on TikTok. German audiences respond to clear information and understatement.
Global assets reach German feeds, yet they still read as imports. Subtitles, German captions and local creators change how the same idea lands, as I explain in what makes content travel.
How do you direct a creator shoot?
With a moodboard, a shot list and direction on set. The content then reads as your brand, while the creator keeps their own voice.
Everything practical, from location to usage rights, is settled before the day.
Do you work with creators directly?
Yes. Content strategy and consulting for creators is part of this service. I help creators with positioning, formats and production.
For creator TingTing Lai, I worked on content production and strategy: shoot planning, creative direction and a content plan built for her audience and platforms. Read the TingTing Lai case.
How does it connect to the rest?
The plan decides which creators to cast and which events should produce content worth reusing. That is why content strategy works best alongside talent sourcing and events, either as separate projects or within a long-term partnership.
