In 2007, Scott Gant declared: we're all journalists now. Now, five years later, being a lone journalist is not enough. For brands and organizations to remain relevant in the news cycle and with their audiences, becoming well-oiled publishing machines is a necessity.
In this presentation, former JESS3 co-founder and President, Leslie Bradshaw, shares her insights on how to approach the monumental task of creating around-the-clock content for an always-hungry digital world. Her three-tiered approach to content creation is the secret sauce: content that is pre-made for day-to-day, ready to wear for week-to-week and bespoke for a larger impact.
Originally presented for the Mediabistro Social Media Boot Camp seminar "Storytelling Through Social Media" on March 1, 2012.

8. The devil is in the details. Brands
aren’t set up to be publishers.
They don’t necessarily understand
the editorial process or have the
stomach for the length of time it
takes to build an audience.
