Stop creating content and start creating conversations. "Content Strategy: Mapping Content to the Buyer Journey" is an essential course for marketers who want to move from random acts of content to a purposeful, data-driven strategy. If you've ever felt like you're on a content treadmill with no clear direction, this course provides the map. You will learn to define and use buyer personas—the foundation of a successful content plan—to transform abstract audience data into relatable human stories.

Drawing on real-world masterclasses from brands like HubSpot, Salesforce, and Warby Parker, you will learn to analyze content through the lens of the buyer journey: Awareness, Consideration, and Decision. This isn't just theory; it's a practical framework. Through hands-on simulations, you will audit existing content, identify its strategic purpose, and learn to spot the critical gaps in your content plan. By the end of this course, you will have the skills to ensure every blog post, video, and case study has a clear purpose and moves your audience one step closer to a solution.

This module teaches marketers how to create the right content for the right person at the right time. Learners will start by understanding the "why" behind strategic content planning and the foundational role of buyer personas. They will then learn to analyze and categorize content according to the three key stages of the buyer journey: Awareness, Consideration, and Decision. The module culminates in a hands-on simulation where learners audit a list of content and map it to the journey, proving they can apply this framework to real-world assets.
