Sample Answer

When I build a content calendar, I start with goals and audience data, not topics. For one B2C brand, our target was to grow email-driven revenue by 20% and social-assisted conversions by 15% in six months. I dug into past campaigns to see which themes, formats, and send times performed best: open rate, CTR, revenue per send for email; reach, saves, shares, CTR, and assisted conversions for social. From there, I mapped 2–3 core content pillars and built a 6–8 week calendar across channels, making sure every post or email had a measurable CTA. We ran A/B tests on subject lines and creative weekly. Over a quarter, we killed two underperforming content types and doubled down on UGC and how-to content, which lifted email revenue per send by 27% and increased social-assisted conversions from 9% to 16% of total sales.
