What D176 is really about
Content Marketing covers content strategy, audience research and segmentation, content types and formats, owned, earned and paid media, distribution and promotion, and measuring content performance.
The course has two performance tasks that follow one campaign and use WGU templates. The first is a content marketing brief that defines the campaign, the target market and its segmentation variables, and a piece of owned content such as a blog post; the second plans how that content will be distributed and promoted and how results will be measured. The thermostat on this shelf is a composite product; the research is real. A brief is persuasive when the reader can see, in one page, who the content is for, what problem it solves for them and how success will be judged. The sample's blog post is written for homeowners worried about energy bills, not for technology enthusiasts, because the research shows that is where the product's buyers are. The distribution plan then chooses channels those homeowners use and sets metrics such as time on page and sign-ups rather than raw views.
What D176’s tasks ask for
D176's two tasks generally have you write a content marketing brief with a campaign name, target market segmentation and an owned content piece, then plan distribution and promotion across channels with goals and metrics.
Why D176 tasks come back for revision
Content tasks are often returned when the target market is vague, when the content piece does not serve that audience, or when distribution channels are listed without reasons and metrics. Templates must be followed closely, so missing a required field is a common and avoidable reason for a return.
