Who runs the work

John Williams on technical content + topic strategy, Kristy Morgan on editorial cadence + brand consistency, Sandeep Muley on B2B technical content + measurement. Read the full team page.

The content marketing playbook of 2020 doesn't work in 2026. AI flooded the supply side; readers got pickier. The brands that win now are the ones with documented authority (real authors with credentials), structural depth (topic clusters, not blog filler), and clear voice (not generic AI sameness).

Frequently asked

AI-generated or human-written?
AI-assisted, human-edited, transparently disclosed. Per Google's helpful-content guidance, the question isn't whether AI is involved — it's whether the content is helpful, reliable, and people-first. We use Ghost Writer (our 5-agent pipeline with 40-point QA) for drafts, then a senior editor finalizes.
How do you do topic clusters?
Per Google's URL structure guidance: hub-and-spoke. One pillar page per topic cluster, 5-15 spoke pages drilling into specific subtopics, all interlinked. Each cluster lives in its own URL directory so Google learns the topical depth. The /solutions/ structure on this site is a working example.
What's a voice fingerprint?
A locked specification of voice + tone + vocabulary + sentence rhythm + forbidden phrases. We capture it from existing brand content + an interview with the founder/lead, and Ghost Writer generates against it. Prevents AI-content sameness.
Editorial calendar cadence?
Depends on cluster + audience. B2B SaaS: 2 long-form articles/month + 1 newsletter/week. DTC: 4 short articles/month + 1 buying guide/quarter. Local services: 1 city + service page/week. We tune to where the leverage is.
Do you handle distribution?
Yes. Article published → email newsletter excerpt → LinkedIn / X repurposing → Substack cross-post → optional paid amplification on the posts that earn organic traction. The article is the seed; distribution is the harvest.
Minimum?
$5K/month. Below that, run Ghost Writer yourself + use the editorial calendar template we publish openly.
