Joe Griffin, CEO and Co-Founder of ClearVoice, joins the Content Experience Show to discuss strategies for consistently creating good content and the importance of a single editor.
The Editor Holds the Key
Good content is crucial, and to get good content, a good writer is crucial. Is that the bottom line, however? Get a good writer, and content is sure to follow?
Unfortunately, regardless of how good your writer may be, an environment that isn’t conducive to creativity and leaves too much of the process on their shoulders can actually lead to lower quality and even less content. According to Joe Griffin of ClearVoice, you have to give writers an environment that fosters their creativity. This includes allowing them to focus on the writing, and only on the writing.
This is where the editor steps in. While many companies make the mistake of expecting their writers to be both writers and editors, having a dedicated editor can give your writer the freedom to live in their creativity and continue to produce stellar content, while your editor ensures the consistency of your brand voice.
