Our Approach

Analyzing Data and Trends

We looked at the historical data of S2M Magazine and did an additional research. We then defined that among millennial population the most popular topics in the Magazine were Entrepreneurship, Technology, Sharing Economy, and the Future of Work.

Strategy

We restructured the S2M Magazine based on the categories. Using these categories and our understanding of the target audience, we defined tone of voice, visual identity as more youthful and progressive. We then created a long-term SEO and Social Media content strategies.

Process Automation

We worked out a clear structure where any user could submit an article for review under on of the categories.
We created a separate channel for articles featuring promotions of products or services, and created an automated structure for submitting paid articles.
