The Optimist Approach to  Content Marketing

At Optimist, we approach content differently than most agencies.

We don’t just write words. We build authority and drive business results.

We know that every article, blog post, carousel, and podcast is part of a strategy. It has a job to do—and it’s made with those goals in mind. We aren’t in the business of churning out content without context. 

Strategy First,
Then Content

Strategy should be carefully prescribed—not dictated.

The Optimist approach focuses on understanding—or helping shape—the strategy behind the content we’re creating. Carefully digging into the problems, goals, metrics, and KPIs that matter. Then, understanding the reader and how we can help them meet their goals, while making them think, act, or feel in a way that meets ours.

Kick-ass content comes from a well-defined strategy.

Content is Not a Commodity

We’re all drowning in cheap content.

Everywhere you look, there are content mills and AI tools churning out words and pictures.

But does cheap content drive growth?

Content that generates real business results isn’t mass-produced for pennies per article. It’s carefully planned to align the needs of the buyer with the goals of the business. Then, it’s crafted to meet the reader where they are and move them forward in their journey.

At Optimist, we help clients create category-defining works, proprietary frameworks, and data-driven campaigns that position them as the cited thought leaders in their industry.

Content with Purpose

Our approach is about maximizing the value of every piece of content that we create. Once we have an understanding of what we need to accomplish, then we develop a plan to create the strategic content assets we need to achieve our goals.

Every content asset that we create is engineered to work within the strategy and generate results.

Strategic content is created at the intersection of the audience's goal and the business goal.
