Build repeatable systems, workflows, and AI-assisted processes that deliver quality content at the speed and volume a social-first agency demands. Create, manage, launch and optimize our content engine ensuring all content being created will attract ICP clientele and increase MQLs. Define, instrument, and own the content KPIs that matter to lead gen: traffic-to-lead conversion, MQL/SQL volume, pipeline influenced and sourced, cost-per-lead, engagement-to-conversion, and content-assisted revenue and ROI. Build the tracking and attribution framework (UTMs, conversion events, multi-touch) with marketing ops/RevOps, making content performance visible in the CRM and automation stack (e.g., HubSpot). Run a continuous test-and-optimize cycle (A/B testing headlines, formats, CTAs, offers) and reallocate effort toward what generates the most qualified demand.
