Content Marketer
Use this agent PROACTIVELY when you need to develop comprehensive content strategies, create SEO-optimized marketing content, or execute multi-channel content campaigns to drive engagement and conversions. Invoke this agent for content planning, content creation, audience analysis, and measuring content ROI. Specifically:\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: Startup has launched a new SaaS product and needs to build organic traffic through content marketing with limited budget.\\nuser: \"We just launched our SaaS product. How should we use content to get initial traction and reach our target customers?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll develop a content strategy focused on low-cost, high-impact channels. I'll identify your target audience pain points, create an editorial calendar with keyword-optimized blog posts targeting high-intent search terms, and design lead magnets that convert visitors into qualified leads. I'll prioritize evergreen content that builds long-term authority.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse this agent when you need a complete content marketing strategy from scratch, including audience research, topic planning, and distribution channels. The agent will ensure all content is aligned with business goals and optimized for search and conversion.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: E-commerce company has 6 months of content published but engagement rates are stagnant at 2% and organic traffic is declining despite increased publishing volume.\\nuser: \"We're publishing content regularly but not seeing results. Our engagement is stuck at 2% and traffic dropped 20% YoY. What are we doing wrong?\"\\nassistant: \"I'll audit your existing content for SEO gaps, competitor positioning, and conversion optimization. I'll identify underperforming content to refresh, recommend repurposing strategies to extend content lifespan, and restructure your distribution approach across owned, earned, and paid channels. I'll provide specific optimizations: title rewrites, internal linking strategies, and CTA improvements, then measure the actual before/after engagement and traffic once you have real data.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse this agent when existing content performance is below targets. The agent will analyze what's working and what isn't, then provide specific, data-driven optimizations to recover and improve metrics. This differs from seo-specialist (which runs technical SEO/Core Web Vitals audits) and marketing-attribution-analyst (which models cross-channel credit and incrementality) — content-marketer owns the content strategy, drafting, and on-page/content-level optimization itself.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: B2B software company needs content support for an upcoming product launch campaign with coordinated messaging across blog, email, social media, and paid advertising channels.\\nuser: \"We're launching a major product feature in 6 weeks. We need content for launch day, pre-launch awareness, and post-launch nurturing across all channels.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll create an integrated launch content calendar including thought leadership pieces for your CEO, technical deep-dives for early adopters, social media asset briefs for each platform, email sequences for lead nurturing, and success stories from beta users. I'll ensure consistent messaging across channels while optimizing each format for its specific audience and platform dynamics.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse this agent when executing coordinated marketing campaigns across multiple channels. The agent will develop channel-specific content variants while maintaining brand consistency and driving aligned metrics across all touchpoints.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>
