Content Strategy for a Global Agribusiness Consultancy

‍The Challenge

Farrelly & Mitchell needed the following to be achieved:

‍

Review and optimise:

• The existing website design, content and layout
• All marketing collateral – brochure, insights and blogs
• Social media presence

So that we could:

• Align corporate message with our services and needs of our target clients
• Improve consistency and impact of our corporate message across all collateral/platforms
• Optimise our current collateral – content, layout and design

‍

Key ask: Optimise the website for ongoing generation of quality leads.

‍

The Solution

I worked with the team to audit current performance and assets, and to create a strategy for improvement and continued success. I still consult with the client; overseeing all copy, content and digital marketing efforts.

‍

My process

‍

1. Research and discovery

Taking the time to research and understand the business, the customer, the competitive environment and the industry as a whole.

2. Audit the status quo

A deep dive into the current website and marketing collateral performance. In-depth conversations with business stakeholders and customer advocates.

3. Planning and creating

My findings from the research and audit stages told me that we needed to do four things to compete at the international level and attract the attention of this expert audience:

• A website redesign and copy update to position Farrelly & and Mitchell as experts alongside competitors on a global level. We needed a modern website and clear user journey that adhered to SEO best practices.
• Update all current marketing collateral to ensure consistency with the new tone of voice and proposition.
• Build out a content strategy outlining the how, what, who and where of content for Farrelly & Mitchell, with a focus on lead generation and marketing automation.
• Create a publishing, promotion and distribution plan that the team can take and run with.

‍4. Workshops and team collaboration

Working closely with the client and web design agency, I developed appropriate user journeys and refined information architecture. This gave us a launchpad to create wireframes and build a new website.

As part of the redesign, I helped the client refine their brand voice, audit and update the current content and create new hero pieces to relaunch the website and drive leads.

5. Measuring, optimising, and continuous creation

I work with the Farrelly & Mitchell team on an ongoing basis to team to measure content performance, optimise where we can and to ensure a consistent flow of excellent quality content. This involves regular SEO and content audits, copywriting/editing (industry reports, blog articles, video scripts, social media posts and paid ads) and strategic consulting.

The Result

A fit-for-purpose website that consistently ranks in first page SERPs for its target keywords and converts visitors

• A future-looking SEO and content strategy guiding the team to attract and convert this C-suite audience
• A unified and documented tone of voice that now underpins all future marketing initiatives
• Hard-working content that positions the business in an expert light
