How to maintain brand authenticity through your content?

When publishing your content, one thing that values the most is your unique brand identity. Today’s world is consumed by advertising and marketing. For instance, the global revenue spent on advertisements in the year 2020 was averaged at around 600 Billion U.S. dollars (Refer Statista). But mostly brands are challenged with producing and publishing interesting, engaging & valuable content that can generate relevant traffic to sustain their brand.

Your content is a unique value proposition of your brand and you cannot create effective content without knowing your audiences. So, along with targeting the right audiences & tapping into their online circles, you must consistently produce & publish content that delivers the right message. Creating such content is the potential differentiator of your brand to sustain your existing followers as well as attracting new ones. For instance, one of the world’s biggest businesses, Amazon alone, spent around 22 billion U.S. dollars in 2020 alone. Amazon is no small business and the money they spend on producing & publishing marketing content is no small either. (Amazon Marketing Spending)

Some things to keep in mind when promoting your content to ensure brand authenticity are :

Alignment with Brand Objective : Written content aligned with your brand objectives is crucial to ensure people relate better to your brand. Your articles should be able to convey what your brand stands for, whether that be on social media or your company website.
Be Transparent : When searching for information, people look for that transparency and a clear purpose in your content so they can trust and associate themselves with your brand. Your content must be clear and concise enough to represent your brand’s mission & vision.
Understand your Audience : Be it an outlet, celebrity or brand, people love it when your brand content is more interactive and engaging with their customers. Many brands have now started to engage more with their audience through social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram. Engage with your audience through your brand stories and start a connection that will link your brand to them. This will help your brand grow and also let you understand what type of content or product people expect from your brand.

Writing content that is unique and engaging can be difficult and time-consuming at times. To make the entire process of creating content easier you can opt for workflow automation tools like Oasis Workflow.

With Oasis Workflow’s advanced features editing, proofreading and even publishing your content can be done more conveniently. If you want to publish engaging & valuable content that drives your brand authenticity, then try out the Oasis Workflow today.

Is your Content your Brand Image?

“As of January 2021 there were 4.66 billion active internet users worldwide – 59.5 percent of the global population. Of this total, 92.6 percent (4.32 billion) accessed the internet via mobile devices” (Source: Statista).

It is absolutely harder to imagine life without the internet. It has become the “core pillar of modern information society”. With smartphones, tablets and other handy devices it has become easy to access information anytime, anywhere. People now expect to acquire the best possible information at their fingertips to make informed decisions on everything and anything that makes their lives better.

Online presence has become absolutely critical for every business to survive. And that’s just not enough, your content must persuade people to return, share, and comment further. Along with the elegant design of your website, content is the new experience to the visitors of your website.

That being said, yes, your content is your new Brand Image. It can make or break your brand instantly. To foster positive experience you must deliver optimal and well-qualified content that is relevant and compelling enough to keep them engaged and sustain brand loyalty.

So how do you ensure that you always publish the right content? It can be as simple as aligning your entire publication process with the right people, content and technology so they can communicate, collaborate effectively and efficiently. At the same time, applying required checks and balances at every stage of the process can reduce content errors and save on costly mistakes.

This entire publication process can be streamlined and automated to further reduce your time and effort towards publishing an optimal content. This can be made quick and easy with Oasis Workflow. It allows you to create multiple custom workflows for efficient handling of content creation on your website. You can further standardize and bring strict adherence to your content publication using “Editorial Checklist”. This predefined checklist is like a recipe you must follow so you put the right ingredients at the right time to produce the perfect dish your customers will want to order over and over again.

Oasis Workflow Updates

The past few weeks have been immensely busy – working through several updates to our core plugin and it’s various add-ons.

We’re thrilled to announce the release of Oasis Workflow Pro v6.7 and notable changes to Editorial Comments Add-on, Editorial Checklist and ACF Compare Add-on.

Enhancements to Oasis Workflow Pro

Users will automatically get redirected either to the post list page or to the inbox page after they sign off the task. This functionality was available with the Classic Editor, but was not working in Gutenberg. With v6.7, we are able to bring back the same functionality.

We added loaders wherever the front end is interacting with a backend API. This will allow users to see something is loading and ideally reduce mental waiting time.

Now you can reassign a task from within the Oasis Workflow Gutenberg sidebar.

We have enhanced editorial comments by allowing users to view and edit comments from within the Oasis Workflow Sidebar.

Oasis Workflow compatibility with WordPress 5.0 (Gutenberg Editor)

For the past few months we were diligently working on making Oasis Workflow compatible with the new WordPress editor (also known as Gutenberg).

We tried out a few options, but finally decided to go with the sidebar editor to support Oasis Workflow functions.

It’s been a fantastic journey from figuring out how Gutenberg works, how to define our React Components and finally how to package everything.

We are pleased with the final outcome and we hope you, as a user of Oasis Workflow plugin will feel the same. We have released v6.0 of Oasis Workflow Pro that is now compatible with Gutenberg editor and has all the cool features that makes Oasis Workflow as one of the best editorial workflow plugins in WordPress community.
