Content Creation Schedule

May 15

The following digital marketing content creation process includes Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Email/SMS marketing. This is not to say that you cannot test out other strategies on platforms such as Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, or TikTok, but I would recommend getting comfortable with these areas first before diving into the others.

CityMusic should approach a “One to A Dozen” process when thinking about content to share and promote on social media and via email/SMS marketing. This idea is taking one larger piece of content, such as a podcast, video recording, or upcoming performance, and breaking each element down into over a dozen smaller digestible pieces that your audience can consume quickly in whatever medium they’re choosing to interact with you. Here’s how this breaks down:

One main piece of content to focus on throughout the week:

During the performance season
- Promoting an upcoming event
- Resharing content to gain more digital viewership if no upcoming events are happening just yet
During the off-season
- Sharing previous season content
- Sharing previews of what is to come with the new season

The One to A Dozen Idea Focus

Pick 1 idea for the week, and surround all your content around that idea. If you are promoting an upcoming event, consider doing a podcast episode that talks about that event to share and break up your content from. If you are resharing old content to gain more digital viewership, use existing recording material as your main piece of content.

How the Weekly Content is Created & Scheduled

Content Creation Days: Pick 1-2 days out of the week to sit down and work on content, gather content for the upcoming week, and schedule any content that can go out ahead of time
