One of the biggest challenges in outsourcing your social media content or your client's content is keeping your "voice" when someone else is creating it.
In this information-packed episode of Strategy + Action, host Jason Croft digs deep with entrepreneur Becky Jolly on the ins and outs of outsourcing social media and content creation. Jason sets the stage by asking Becky about her journey into social media marketing and how she "found" herself as an entrepreneur after discovering a knack, passion, and talent for crafting branded content.
Becky then dives into the nitty gritty of what to look for when bringing on a social media consultant, stressing the importance of finding someone who takes full ownership and has a clear onboarding process mapped out. Jason asks thoughtful questions about maintaining brand voice and personality when outsourcing, which Becky addresses by highlighting her tactics of deeply researching each client and shaping voice collaboratively.
They also dig into the importance of remembering that even in the B2B (Business to Business) world that Becky does a lot of work in, it's critical for the businesses and anyone creating content for them that it's still all about Humans to Humans. The most effective B2B marketing appeals to the people within an organization rather than treating that company as just an entity.
Other topics Jason and Becky explore include the value of improvisational skills in content creation, establishing formulas and structures to spark creativity, putting "anchor points" in your schedule to boost productivity, and more. Becky also outlines ideal customer profiles for her agency and directs listeners to her website to learn more.
Whether you're considering outsourcing social media or simply want an inside look at how it works, don't miss this engaging back-and-forth between Jason Croft and social media expert Becky Jolly.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
