(brand awareness, lead gen, SQL conversion, ACV growth, retention?) 🧠 Do you already have existing content? (If yes, share list or type; if no, we’ll start from scratch.) 🧭 What channels are you prioritizing? (LinkedIn, email, SEO, paid, webinars, sales enablement?) 🚧 Are there known content gaps or drop-offs in the funnel?
