What Viewers Are Saying

We went from 6 blog posts per month to 32 while actually improving quality. Marcus's content operations framework gave us the structure we desperately needed. Organic traffic is up 210% YoY.

Emily Watson

VP Marketing, TechVault

The topic cluster strategy was a game-changer. We stopped writing random articles and built real topical authority. Now we rank for hundreds of keywords in our niche and generate 500+ qualified leads monthly from organic.

James Liu

Content Lead, DataPipe

This webinar paid for itself 100x over. The freelance writer vetting process and brief template alone saved us months of trial and error. Our content quality is better than when we only published 4 pieces per month.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a big team to scale content production?

No! Marcus shows how to scale with a small core team plus freelancers. Many of the case studies feature teams of just 2-3 full-time people producing 30+ high-quality pieces per month by leveraging the right systems and processes.

Is this webinar relevant for B2C companies?

While the examples are B2B SaaS focused, the content operations frameworks, team structures, and quality control processes apply to any content marketing program. The strategic planning sections are particularly relevant for B2B.

How much does AI play a role in this process?

AI is covered as one tool in the toolkit, not the solution itself. Marcus shows where AI can help (research, optimization) and where it fails (creating unique perspectives). The focus is on systems and process, not just tools.

Will I get the templates and frameworks?

Yes! All attendees get access to the Content Operations Playbook, editorial calendar template, content brief template, and quality checklist. These are ready to implement immediately.

How long does it take to implement this system?

Most companies see results within 60-90 days. The webinar includes a phased implementation roadmap that lets you start small and scale progressively without overwhelming your team.
