Who Should Be Measuring Content?

While content marketing has become a widely accepted idea, we seem to be a little hazier when it comes to measuring content. Collaboration often feels a little less cut-and-dry when we mix creatives with more logically-minded people.
Content is not uniform, and different pieces are created for different purposes—and even for different audiences. Measuring content should happen at the stage in the funnel for which it’s intended and should account for the goals of each piece.
Because of this murkiness, it’s the creator’s job to do the measuring. After all, they are by far the most familiar with the goals and intent of the content, while also being the most invested in fighting for it. In addition, by measuring content they have already created, they can gain far more insight into how they should create their next piece of content!
