Description

Do you find yourself "winging it" when it comes to your content, only to feel overwhelmed when life gets busy? In this first-ever Quick Fire episode of Less Panic, More Disco, Carly Cowell breaks down why content planning is more than just a schedule—it’s a framework for brand consistency and sanity.

Carly explores the balance between being spontaneous and being prepared, helping you find your "golden thread" so your message never gets lost in the noise.

What’s inside this episode:

• The "Why" of Planning: Why having a framework is essential for those days when you lack the time, energy, or headspace to create from scratch.
• Avoiding "Wild" Messaging: How a lack of planning can lead to inconsistent brand messages that confuse your audience and decrease engagement.
• Strategy First: A look at the foundational elements—brand values, tone of voice, and brand story—that should dictate your plan.
• Building Your Content Pillars: How to create pillars that align with your expertise and solve your ideal client's problems.
• Understanding Audience Habits: Why you need to know where your audience "hangs out" and what their scrolling habits look like to make a real impact.

"I can see where an idea needs to go... it’s about starting by looking at what you want to achieve, who you’re talking to, and putting that strategy in." — Carly Cowell
