Content Pillars
Create the repeatable themes that make a social calendar coherent over time. Pillars should guide what to post, what not to post, and how each idea earns attention.
Inputs
- product, brand, or founder
- audience
- goal
- category or market
- proof points
- preferred channels
- topics to avoid
Workflow
Extract the audience tensions: pains, ambitions, objections, status anxieties, and buying triggers.
Define 4-7 pillars: each pillar needs a name, purpose, audience question, post formats, proof source, and example angles.
Balance the mix: include education, belief, proof, product, objection, and community where relevant.
Add boundaries: say what does not belong in each pillar so the calendar does not drift.
Recommend a pillar ratio: percentage or weekly count by pillar for the next campaign period.
Taste Rules
- Pillars are not vague categories like "thought leadership".
- Each pillar should generate at least 10 real post ideas.
- Product pillars need proof or workflow detail, not feature lists.
- Founder pillars need specific experience, not generic lessons.
- Leave room for timely posts without making the calendar reactive.

AgentReacher Notes
Use this before building an AgentReacher calendar so scheduled posts are organized by durable campaign themes instead of isolated ideas.
