Decide where a piece of material belongs

Foundation, collection, customer, project or campaign, and how to tell which.

In a pilot, we set this up with you. Send us what you already have and we build your foundation together. This guide is for when you want to add more yourself. Apply for the pilot

01Why it is worth doing

Every question about where something goes is really the same question: who else should be able to see this. Answer it once per kind of material and the filing stops being a decision anyone makes twice.

02How you get there
  1. Ask one question about the material: who else should be able to draw on this?
  2. True of your whole company, whoever the reader is? That is your foundation. Your positioning, your voice and your proof live there, and everything you make can reach them.
  3. True of one thing you sell, across every customer who buys it? That is a collection. A product, a service, a category, an offer like a pilot. It is the container for what you sell that crosses customers on purpose, and it is what makes ready-made material for a sales team possible.
  4. True of an industry your customers work in, whoever the customer is? That is a sector. Give a customer its sectors, and what you hold about that industry comes with every piece you make for them.
  5. True of one customer, whatever you are doing for them? That is the customer. What they do, what they care about, what you have learned about them.
  6. True of one piece of work with a beginning and an end? That is a project under that customer. What you read there stays theirs and cannot reach another customer's work.
  7. Going out over a period, on a schedule? That is a campaign, and it keeps its own timeline.
  8. When you are unsure between two, pick the narrower one. Material can be connected to a collection later without moving, and narrowing something after it has been built on is the harder direction.
