The Content Factor Difference

People ask us all the time, “What’s different about The Content Factor?” Three things:

  1. We’re a professional services firm that specializes in original content development and marketing thought leadership. We’re not just an individual freelancer. That means:
    • For us this is a business, not a lifestyle
    • Every project is reviewed by more than one person, ensuring greater accuracy and appropriateness
    • We have robust project management, collaboration and business management practices in place. We’re well suited to work with fast-paced organizations in a business-like manner.
    • We can scale to large projects
    • We meet deadlines
    • We meet budgets
  2. We’re a focused team, not just a clearinghouse for writers.
    • We have a unified point of view and approach to content generation and marketing thought leadership
    • We depend on each other and back each other up
    • We don’t miss a beat when someone is out
    • We win business on our performance, not our price. Our pricing isn’t the lowest, but our clients will tell you it is very fair, and a good value.
  3. Most of us come from business marketing backgrounds, not just writing backgrounds.
    • We’re well versed in business, industry, finance and technology, so we have a fast learning curve in almost any vertical. We can draw on analogies, metaphors, history and examples when needed.
    • We know that content is not the end game. Selling your product is.
    • You can trust us to speak with your customers or colleagues. We’ll add value and make a good impression.
    • We adapt to your needs. Sometimes selling means creating highly urgent, benefit-rich content that is desired to sell something now. Other times, a well researched, educational format may be required to establish marketing thought leadership.
