Tips for creating a content strategy fit for an Oscar
Think about your content like a movie studio releases films, with a mix of sure bets and a few riskier propositions.
Oscar time is nearly here.

Each year, movie makers weigh the return they’re likely to see on their investment in producing a particular film against the cost. Profits from big summer blockbusters and popcorn thrillers can help to offset smaller returns on indie films and niche documentaries. Each type of movie content has its place in the overall scheme.
