Creative writers create content — this is a given. However, what writers generally do not offer is a fully managed content strategy, which is why you must consider options beyond the writer for a successful blog program.
Throughout the content marketing lifecycle, content should be strategically planned, created, managed, delivered, and maintained.
Writers come in during the creation stage and leave after that phase is complete. When you hire a writer, you receive content and just that. There is no further management of that content beyond the finished copy.
It’s likely that if you’re looking for a writer to create content for your organization, you’re low on resources or time — or both! With a content marketing agency, you’ll receive content along with the management, delivery, and maintenance of that content.
