Using the Prism Content Strategy to Maximize Content Impact
Are you getting the most out of your content? It might be time to revisit your framework for a new year.
Carmen Hill’s Prism Content Strategy offers a structured, three-dimensional approach that ensures every piece of of your content serves multiple purposes and aligns with both business goals and audience needs.
The Three Dimensions of the Prism Framework:
- Intent: Understand the purpose of your content to calibrate with business goals (e.g., brand awareness, sales enablement) with audience preferences.
- Information: Tailor your message and format based on your audience’s content consumption. For example, quick info might work better as text, while complex ideas may need visuals.
- Interaction: Deliver content in the right format, on the appropriate platform, and with an optimal user experience.
Here’s how to get started:
- Start with strategy and alignment—document audience research, goals, and workflows.
- Prioritize reuse—design content to serve multiple functions and formats from the outset.
- Evaluate success—test, measure engagement, and refine content based on audience behavior.

Cool, thanks.
But now, Apple Watch Series 10 will have AI to keep us motivated to achieve our goals.
Hopefully our artificial overlords are working toward generating a passable human hand in 2025.
