CONTENT CONNECTS OUR WORLD

Redefining the relationship between content and outcome.

About Us

WE. MAKE. CONTENT.

Yep … that’s what we do. We make content that tells a story. OK … we help our clients make content (and sometimes we make it for them). Because everything your brand does, everything your end user (customer, client, etc.) sees and interacts with is a story. CORE-ig doesn’t focus on making the best video, audio, print or marketing content. We rethink what content does for your brand – and then we help you turn that new understanding into expansive opportunity.

Don’t think you’re too cool to revise your strategy. You aren’t that cool.
Don’t mimick others, focus on the DNA that makes you unique.
Don’t try to create “viral”, think about results (return, KPIs, etc.) and reverse engineer into success.
Don’t focus on quantity of content, focus on quality of engagement.
Don’t make content of any kind without a plan in place. Great content only works if there is strategy powering it – both in how it’s made, and how it’s distributed.

CORE AREAS OF FOCUS

Reverse Engineered Content Strategy

We don’t believe in the “big idea”. We believe that the best content comes from defining parameters for success (return/KPIs, outcome, audience, distribution, etc.), and only then developing content that infuses your brand’s unique DNA. We believe that you don’t move the needle by having “cool” content. You create success by focusing on return.

Content Studio Development & Programming

The best brands engage with their customers directly and uniquely across every touch point and channel. The creative studio approach means you develop a nimble dialogue with those that seek you out – with content and engagement at the center. Let CORE help you develop this capability.

Media & Business Development Strategy

We support media strategy across a broad spectrum of disciplines – from linear and OTT to social and digital-based distribution. Our strength is decades of content development, production and leadership. Our goal: to help our partners get the right media to the right end users in ways that exceed opportunity.

C-Suite Team Resource

For numerous clients, CORE-ig serves as an “outside” leadership team member – with a holistic eye towards shoring up deficits in marketing, sales, communications and programming. In this role we often lead client pitch meetings, help secure partnerships and sales pipeline, consult on staff structure and budgets, and serve as a C-suite resource across departments.
