3 Types of Content Every Business Needs
If your business is only posting “Buy now”, “Order today” and “We are available”…
You’re missing two important pieces.
A good content strategy should have 3 jobs:
1. EDUCATE
Teach your audience something useful.
Answer their questions. Solve a problem. Share tips.
2. ENGAGE
Give people a reason to interact with your brand.
Ask questions. Start conversations. Create relatable content. Use polls or opinions.
3. CONVERT
Now give interested people a reason to take action.
Show your product. Explain the benefits. Share an offer. Add a clear CTA.
For example, if you sell skincare:
Educate: “3 reasons your skin may still feel dry after moisturizing.”
Engage: “What's your biggest skincare struggle?”
Convert: “Here's how our moisturizer can help — shop now.”
See the difference?
You don't have to choose between educating people and selling to them.
The goal is to use your content to attract → build trust → encourage action.
And that's where a good content strategy makes a difference.
What type of content does your business post the most : Educate, Engage or Convert?

Have you ever noticed this?
You’re just scrolling through your feed in the evening, watching random videos…And suddenly, somewhere in the middle or at the end, you get this warm little feeling:
“Ooooh… I want that too.”
“I need this.”
Even though 30 seconds ago, you didn’t even know you wanted it. I’m regularly a victim of this kind of marketing 😂
And I think this is one of the most interesting things about content: How do you sell something that people don’t actually need?
For example, if I have acne, that’s an actual problem I want to solve. I’ll research skincare, look for serums, read reviews, and compare products.
But what about… a tumbler?
I can survive without it. I can buy coffee at a café. I can drink tea from a regular cup.
So why do I suddenly want one?
Associations.
Recently, I created content for Rainbow, a brand with tumblers and thermoses.
And instead of simply showing:
“Here’s the tumbler. Here’s the lid. Here’s the size.”
I wanted to sell the feeling around the product.
🌊 The ocean → cool air → hot cocoa in your hands.
🍂 Autumn → a picnic in the park → a warm cup of tea from your thermos.
🚇 The metro → your favourite drink → a beautiful tumbler in your hand → instantly +10 to the vibe.
And suddenly your brain starts creating its own little movie:
“Wait… I want that.”
You’re no longer just looking at a tumbler. You’re imagining yourself using it.
Holding it.
Drinking from it.
Taking it on your walks.
Making it part of your everyday aesthetic.
And that’s when a simple product becomes something more. It becomes a piece of the lifestyle you want to have.
That’s why I love using associations in UGC content. Because sometimes content doesn’t need to explain why you need the product.
It just needs to show you:
“Look. This could be your life.”
And suddenly… you want it. Here are some thoughts on that, along with a case study.
Not sure about the tumbler, but the vacation is soooo well sold 😄 Back to serious - nice job!
Video Editing for a Serum Oil Brand
Created a clean and visually engaging video editing concept for a serum oil brand, transforming product footage into polished short-form content designed to showcase the product, packaging, texture, and overall brand identity. The project focuses on smooth pacing, elegant transitions, refined typography, product-focused visuals, and engaging motion to create a professional skincare presentation.
The video was edited with a focus on making the serum oil the visual centerpiece while communicating its premium and beauty-focused positioning. Each scene was carefully structured to highlight the product, key features, skincare messaging, and promotional details while maintaining a clean and cohesive visual flow. The final edit was designed for platforms such as Instagram Reels, TikTok, and other short-form social media channels.
