		<description>Simon, 

I think that what you&#039;re describing is one aspect of Content Strategy, but not all of it. There&#039;s also a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes - content organization, structure, metadata, migration, planning, tools, processes, workflow, governance, etc., etc. Editors have been doing some of these things for a long time, while other of these responsibilities have fallen to Information Architects, Project Managers, Technologists, Designers, Business Analysts, and people with many other titles. 

I would argue that all of these people, regardless of title, are practicing Content Strategy. At Razorfish we happen to have a specialized role for these responsibilities. In the interest of refining that practice, it&#039;s useful for all of us to take part in conversations with a larger community of people (again, whatever their titles may be), who are also practicing CS. Welcome to the conversation!</description>

		<description>In response to Simon Kelly: Yes. Do you feel you&#039;re contradicting something here? Because I don&#039;t believe anyone in the Content Strategy community--certainly no one who attended the CS Consortium, which was fundamentally an effort to place exactly the concerns you address in your post at the center of website design and development practice--would argue with your points. Perhaps you&#039;re thinking of the way in which &quot;content strategy&quot; (little c, little s) is being misused as a term by the traditional marketing community. If so, you might want to think about joining forces with those of us who self-define as Content Strategists. Best, Elena (@emelendy)</description>

		<description>Err, not so fast folks. I would argue that a content strategists have been around for centuries, we used to call them editors! In other words I would define a content strategist as someone who marries the best practices of investigative journalism, magazine editorial planning, information architecture and marketing. In other words they need to pay closer attention to story-listening (the investigative peeling away of layers to unearth the brand truth and take a narrative, as opposed to data-driven, approach to consumer, brand and category insights) to define a brand’s story platform. This platform informs the brand’s authority to publish content and enables the content strategist to create a content plan that supports both the marketing objectives as well as the audience information needs. Content strategists that are trained in journalism know that a content plan needs to engage an audience over time and build trust through a consistently authentic voice that delivers useful and entertaining experiences each time (aka publishing), as opposed to most branded web-site launches that may start off with a bang but soon fizzle over time due to lack of a long-term content plan.
