SOCIAL CONTENT DRAFTING · Workflow idea

Give each social post a useful first draft.

Use an editorial brief and approved audience and tone guidance to prepare a caption for a planned social post. Keep the draft with its planning record so an editor can check the facts, voice, and destination before anything is published.
