Most content programs collapse under their own ambition. A sustainable one is smaller, sharper and built on repeatable rituals rather than heroic effort.
The one in ten rule
One deep, original resource per month. Ten distribution artefacts derived from it — social posts, newsletter, sales enablement, ad hooks, podcast segments.
Depth is where authority is built. Distribution is where it compounds. Doing only one is where most teams get stuck.
The editorial rituals that keep it alive
Weekly ideas meeting: 30 minutes, whoever is closest to customers brings the raw material. Ideas without customer contact stay generic.
Monthly publishing cadence: one flagship piece, distribution planned before publication. Never publish without a plan for how it reaches the buyer.
Quarterly review: which pieces drove pipeline, which drove traffic, which drove neither. Cut what does not compound.

Frequently asked questions
How often should we publish?+
Less than you think. One truly useful monthly piece plus consistent distribution outperforms weekly shallow content for almost every serious B2B brand.
Should we use AI for content?+
For research, structure and variation, yes. For the original thinking and point of view, no. Content that reads like AI wrote it also reads like nobody meant it.
