Storming a Castle: Winning Support for and Executing a Content Strategy

Co-presented with Noz Urbina

To advance a strategy, you must first win management’s support for it. Noz Urbina presented the castle storming theory at LavaCon, which described how to succeed in content strategy by approaching your organization like a maze-like castle, with a moat, some traps, and maybe a dragon. Then Tech Writer Britt Ellmer took up the challenge. Now she’s 3.5 years into managing her own transformative, growing content strategy program. Join us for a real-world case study, and learn to storm your castle.
