Steps for Developing Branded Content Concepts

1. Understanding SayPro’s Brand Objectives:

• Action: Begin by ensuring the influencer has a clear understanding of SayPro’s brand objectives, values, and messaging. This foundational knowledge will help steer the content in the right direction.
  • Key Points to Address:
    • What is SayPro’s unique value proposition (UVP)?
    • What are the key messages SayPro wants to communicate in the campaign?
    • What tone and style should be used in the content to align with SayPro’s overall brand voice (e.g., professional, friendly, informative)?
    • What specific products, services, or features are to be highlighted in the collaboration?
• Timeline: This step should be completed in the initial phase (Week 1 or 2) of the influencer collaboration to ensure all creative ideas align with SayPro’s overall marketing strategy.
• Metrics for Success: A well-defined brief outlining SayPro’s brand values, goals, and messaging that the influencer understands and can incorporate into content ideas.

2. Research the Influencer’s Audience:

• Action: Conduct research on the influencer’s audience to ensure their demographic aligns with SayPro’s target market. This will help create content that is both relevant and impactful.
  • Key Questions to Ask:
    • Who is the influencer’s audience (age, location, interests)?
    • What are their pain points or needs?
    • What types of content does the audience engage with most frequently?
  • Review past content to see which posts performed best in terms of engagement, comments, and shares.
• Timeline: Complete this research early on to inform the brainstorming process and help select the most suitable content ideas.
• Metrics for Success: Data on the influencer’s audience demographic, engagement rates, and content performance. This research should lead to insights on the types of content that will resonate with the target audience.

3. Brainstorming Content Ideas:

• Action: Once SayPro’s objectives and the influencer’s audience insights are clear, the next step is to brainstorm creative content ideas together. The goal is to generate multiple content concepts that fit both the brand’s objectives and the influencer’s style.
  • Content Formats to Consider:
    • Storytelling: Personal stories or experiences related to SayPro’s product/service that align with the influencer’s lifestyle.
    • Product Demonstrations or Tutorials: Showcase SayPro’s products/services in action, demonstrating their features and benefits.
    • Behind-the-Scenes Content: Share an inside look at SayPro’s operations, product creation, or the influencer’s experience using SayPro products/services.
    • Challenges or Competitions: Engage the influencer’s followers with a challenge that encourages participation, using SayPro’s products as part of the challenge.
    • User-Generated Content (UGC): Encourage the influencer’s followers to share content that aligns with SayPro’s campaign, such as a photo, video, or hashtag challenge.
  • Idea Validation: Discuss which concepts feel the most authentic for both the influencer and SayPro’s target audience. Narrow down the ideas to 2-3 solid concepts that are achievable within the given campaign budget and timeline.
• Timeline: Dedicate 1-2 weeks to brainstorming, considering time for back-and-forth communication with the influencer.
• Metrics for Success: A shortlist of 2-3 content concepts that are creative, achievable, and aligned with both SayPro’s brand objectives and the influencer’s personal style and audience interests.

4. Aligning Content Ideas with Marketing Campaigns:

• Action: Ensure the selected content ideas align with SayPro’s broader marketing campaigns and seasonal initiatives (if applicable). Consider how the content will fit into existing or upcoming campaigns such as product launches, seasonal promotions, or specific theme-based content.
  • Example: If SayPro is launching a new product, develop content that highlights the product’s features and benefits while maintaining the influencer’s authentic voice.
  • Cross-Platform Consistency: If the content will be shared across multiple platforms (e.g., Instagram, YouTube, TikTok), ensure that the ideas work well in each format while maintaining brand consistency.
  • Content Calendar Coordination: Plan the release of the influencer’s content so it complements SayPro’s overall content calendar and marketing initiatives.
• Timeline: This phase should happen immediately after finalizing content ideas, so content creation can align with upcoming campaigns or promotions.
• Metrics for Success: A clear alignment of the influencer’s content with SayPro’s overall marketing campaigns and promotional schedule.

5. Incorporating Feedback from SayPro’s Team:

• Action: After developing initial content ideas, share them with SayPro’s internal team (marketing, product, design) for feedback. This ensures that all content aligns with SayPro’s brand standards and objectives.
  • Key Considerations for Feedback:
    • Does the content stay true to SayPro’s brand voice?
    • Are the messaging and product positioning aligned with SayPro’s marketing goals?
    • Does the content fit within SayPro’s visual guidelines (e.g., logos, colors, fonts)?
  • Content Adjustments: Based on the feedback received, make necessary adjustments to ensure that the content aligns with SayPro’s strategic vision.
• Timeline: Allocate a week for internal feedback and revision.
• Metrics for Success: The finalized content ideas should reflect SayPro’s brand standards and receive approval from the internal team.

6. Finalizing Content Concepts:

• Action: Once all feedback is incorporated, finalize the content concepts. Clearly outline the content creation and publication process:
  • Content Brief: Create a detailed content brief that includes the campaign’s goals, messaging, deadlines, key performance indicators (KPIs), and approval processes.
  • Creative Direction: Provide a clear creative direction, including visual elements (color schemes, photography styles, etc.) and tone of voice for written content.
  • Budgeting: Determine if any additional budget is needed for high-production content (e.g., video production, props, or additional graphic design).
• Timeline: Final content concepts should be completed by the end of Week 3, ready for content production.
• Metrics for Success: A finalized content plan that outlines clear, actionable steps for content creation, including specific deadlines, deliverables, and expectations.

7. Content Approval and Production:

• Action: Once the content concepts are finalized, move into the content production phase. Ensure the influencer has all the resources they need to create the content:
  • Content Approval Process: Set up a formal process for approving content before it is published (e.g., drafts, feedback loops).
  • Final Deliverables: Make sure the influencer knows what format, quality, and quantity of content is expected (e.g., HD quality, specific image or video sizes for social media platforms).
  • Resources: Provide the influencer with any additional materials they may need, such as product samples, access to SayPro’s team, or branding assets.
• Timeline: This phase begins once the content concepts are finalized and is expected to run in the final two weeks before publication.
• Metrics for Success: Content that is on-brand, high-quality, and ready for publication.
