A big ol’ list of content strategy resources for you

by Angie King on June 10th, 2010

You know that saying about the cobbler’s kids having no shoes? Yeah. We’re the cobbler, this blog is our shoes. Sorry for the long absence. There are no excuses. However, we’d like to blame it on spring.

One of the things we’ve been lucky enough to do this spring is speak at various conferences around the country. We’ve talked to a TON of great people—from content strategy newbies to CS experts alike. You guys are awesome. And you’re doing great work. Really great.

Many of you have asked us for our list of go-to content strategy resources. So to thank you all for coming out to see us speak, and to facilitate more awesome content strategy work, we’ve compiled this handy list. Enjoy!

    Seeing as you asked… I thought I'd quickly pimp our own content strategy blog out: http://contentini.com/

    Great list Angie, may I add my thoughts on how to design a content strategy for social media channels – http://blog.stevesponder.com/lets-create-awesom...

    Fabulous, well-rounded list! I've found the community groups very interesting (the Google group is especially prolific).

    Merci beaucoup from Europe for the link to our 1001 Content Strategy Links. We've updated it now so that the list is now broken down into sections, which is hopefully a bit more useful.

    Also, as a lot of our clients are transitioning from different related careers into CS, we've added a new resource called Content Strategy Starter Kit for Beginners. Hope people find it useful:

    What about conferences? Which are the best to attend if you want to 1) meet content strategists and 2) hear lots of them talk? It seems like most of the ones I've found are UX/IA conferences with the occasional CS panel peppered in.

    Ooops. Broken link.
    The link on “The Web Content Strategist’s Bible”, by Richard Sheffield is faulty.
    It should read: http://www.amazon.com/Web-Content-Strategists-Bible-Lucrative/dp/1441482628
    (I’m just mentioning it because I’m redirecting all my CS friends to this **extremely** useful list :-) )

    Why not take this downtime to give it a big ol’ refresh? Anyway, forget the content strategy lecture; I haven’t given you your gifts yet. Do you want to have comments (do you have the personal resource to monitor comments? This isn’t the same as an Instapaper list you’d like to read
