The ASAE Foundation has published the Association Content Strategies for a Changing World report. The research, underwritten by the Angerosa Foundation, was conducted by Carrie Hane, Hilary Marsh and me in 2017 and 2018.
We discussed highlights of the findings on Content Forum’s July 10 Weekly Check-in.
the ASAE Foundation content strategy study
More than 600 people from 466 associations participated in the study surveys and interviews. We initially used a Profile Survey to quantify the number of content strategy tactics being used by the organization and categorized them as:
- Beginning Using 1 – 6 tactics
- Intermediate Using 7 – 13 tactics
- Advanced Using 14 or more tactics
Content strategy is more than just tactics. The interviews and an Insight Survey revealed that organizations operating at these levels had commonalities in the characteristics of their culture, operating mode, and focus. Ultimately, this classification became the framework for an association content strategy maturity model.
