Getting content right can be more challenging than you might expect

You probably already know you need powerful content to reach your audience, but perhaps you don’t know where to start. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by all of the possibilities. 

You might even be producing content already, but not seeing the results you're looking for. Or maybe, you are creating awesome content, but you just don’t have the time or bandwidth to do it all yourself.

You might be asking yourself:

  • Is blogging still a thing? There are already so many out there.
  • When the heck am I supposed to create all this content? My to-do list is a mile long.
  • I want to hire writers to help with my content, but how do I do that?
  • I’m still not totally convinced content will actually help my business.
  • I know content is important, but I’m not a very strong writer. Help!

All valid questions and concerns!

And that’s why you need to hire an expert — you need a managing editor. A managing editor works with brands and businesses to build and execute their content strategies.

This is exactly where JL&Co, the go-to agency for content management, comes in.

How a managing editor can transform your business

Jessica Lawlor_Lines_teal@2x

Creating quality content can take a lot of time, so hiring a managing editor will give you hours back in the day. (And, of course, time = money.)

A managing editor can help you leverage content to inform and engage your audience. It can even help you acquire new customers or foster more meaningful relationships with your current customers.

A managing editor can work independently to help build out your content strategy, or they can provide support to your existing teams, like a content marketing manager or communications manager.

Content management at work: A case study with Muck Rack

JL&Co has worked with Muck Rack, the public relations management platform since 2013.

It started with a guest post for the blog, which, at the time, lived on Tumblr (throwback!) and didn’t have a regular publishing cadence. That one post turned into more blog posts — then a call with the CEO. He asked if JL&Co could help Muck Rack produce content more regularly.

Nearly a decade later, JL&Co is still at it! We manage, pitch, assign, edit and submit content regularly for Muck Rack. 

As a result, Muck Rack has been able to:

  • Consistently post three to four blog posts each week for the past several years.
  • Help the sales team bring in new business with the help of case studies. JL&Co has produced more than 100 to date.
  • Introduce new series, including team member profiles (for HR hiring initiatives) and customer profiles (as more sales materials).
