Brand Storytelling Through Content
Founded in 2011, Fluent City is an innovative language training organization, offering instruction to individuals, groups, and businesses in 11 different languages. I joined their team 3 months before their relaunch and branding overhaul.
As a pivotal member of this relaunch, I helped reposition the company's mission, content, and messaging. One of my core responsibilities was to create a digital content strategy and calendar that served company needs, included relevant and high-value content for the Fluent City audience, and pushed the brand forward.
Psychographic Research & Content Strategy
4 Key Personas
Who were our customers and which content types would resonate with them? To find out, I compiled research from interviews, user surveys, and existing Salesforce data. From there, I extracted 4 key personas: 1. The Traveler, 2. The Working Professional, 3. The Lover, 4. The Explorer
Understanding the Competitive Landscape
After discovering our 4 key personas, I then used tools like Google AdWords and Buzzsumo to review existing content trends and opportunities to fill in gaps.
Building Content Strategy
Bi-weekly, the gathered insights were compiled and organized into a massive spreadsheet that was shared across the entire company, streamlining paid advertising, email marketing, and other initiatives.
