How to:
Create an Effective Content
Calendar
October 2013
Caitlin Pangares | Social Media & Content Coordinator
cpangares@redbricksmedia.com
What is a content calendar?
A content calendar is a way for brands,
businesses or individuals to document and
organize their outbound social copy.
Who does your content target?
As you are creating your copy, it is crucial to
keep your target audience in mind.
When are you posting?
Certain times of
day perform better
than others on
each social
channel, so
schedule
accordingly.
This could be in the morning (8-10 am),
when your target audience is
commuting
Mid-day, to catch the lunch
crowd
(12-1pm)
Or, in the evenings, when your audience is no
longer at work and is checking in on social
media for fun. (7-9 pm)
Be sure to leave time between
posts when you’re posting
multiple times/day on
a particular channel.
Where does your target audience “live”
online?
Perform some basic social listening around
where your target audience is most active on
social media.
You can then adjust your post frequency to
match the data and favor those channels.
Why should you
create a content
calendar?
“He who fails to plan is planning to
fail.”

- Winston Churchill
Crafting content in advance gives you flexibility
to handle time-sensitive requests or respond to
unexpected events
Here’s one way you could structure your
simple content calendar:
Day

Channel

Message

Target
