Another great tip to utilize when brainstorming, get a group of employees together and just have a great and interactive brainstorming session. Making a list or a bubble chart allows you to see how much content you have and how you can produce that content to your consumers. From there you can narrow down what information would be best for your brand. Remember, you want to make your content stand out from your competitors and make it impactful toward your audience. Keep in mind the following: what do I already have versus what do I need?
