Bio
Andy Crestodina's content philosophy is built on strategic restraint and analytics-driven decision making. His central argument is that most content teams spread themselves too thin across channels and frequencies, producing commodity content that fails to differentiate. Instead, he advocates a "value over volume" approach: publish fewer pieces, but invest disproportionately in two formats that resist AI commoditization. The first is original research, content that generates new statistics and data points that do not exist elsewhere on the internet, which naturally attracts links from journalists and citations from other publishers.
Operating themes
- Operating thesis: The best content programs differentiate through original research and strong opinions, not volume; AI cannot replicate either, so the future belongs to marketers who take a stand and create data that does not exist elsewhere.
- Audience Building
- Content Distribution Strategy
- Content Measurement
- Content Operations
