Expensive content ecosystems with limited results
Companies invest heavily in CMS platforms, campaigns, and content production. Yet teams still fight operational friction and inconsistent execution. The budget grows every year. The output doesn't.
Tangled CMS workflows. Inconsistent editorial ops. We turn both into systems your teams can run, and scale across multi-language markets.
Companies invest heavily in CMS platforms, campaigns, and content production. Yet teams still fight operational friction and inconsistent execution. The budget grows every year. The output doesn't.
Most CMS ecosystems support the platform, but not the people using it. Workflows get harder to maintain as they grow, so simple updates take days instead of hours.
Lacking clear governance, teams build their own workflows, habits, and shortcuts. Brand messaging drifts across markets, processes break, and teams spend more time untangling confusion than producing content.
Every content operation tells a story and we start by understanding it. We look at what works, what doesn't, and where friction slows things down.

How we'd help
If nothing here applies, that's rare, but great news. If you moved fast, take another pass, or just tell us what's going on directly.
Before founding Kraken Content Consulting, we did this inside real organisations, not just advised from outside. We've worked across marketing, product, and editorial teams.
We've built the strategic foundations that shape how content teams operate, from messaging systems and tone of voice frameworks to editorial guidelines, OKR/KPI structures, and enablement models that bring clarity, alignment, and consistency to how teams work.
We've designed and scaled the operational infrastructure behind content in complex, international environments. CMS-driven workflows, multilingual content systems, governance models, publishing processes, and cross-market coordination that make scalable execution possible in practice.
We refine and optimise content so it reaches the right audiences and gets the response you're actually after.
We build clear editorial processes and scalable workflows, so teams keep the quality bar even as output scales.
We use AI where it adds value, backed by editorial oversight, so speed never comes at the cost of brand consistency.
We begin with listening. Discovery typically runs two to four weeks, where we review your content structures, workflows, and operational challenges. From there, we outline what's possible and what timeline makes sense for your team.
We examine your content models, editorial workflows, governance structures, and how teams actually work versus how systems expect them to work. We look at what's scaling and what's breaking down.
Yes. We work alongside your developers, product managers, and editorial teams to ensure what we design is technically sound and actually used. We bridge the gap between what content teams need and what systems can deliver.
Yes. We support onboarding, training, and operational enablement for teams working within your ecosystem, with a focus on real-world usability and adoption.
We have Contentful Content Managers certification, so we specialise in Contentful ecosystems. Yet, we also support broader content operations and different CMS.
Some organisations benefit from retainer-based support for strategic guidance, quality reviews, and scaling across markets. We can structure that based on your needs and how your team evolves.
AI should support workflows and content productions - not replace editorial thinking, governance or quality control. We help your team develop strong operational structures and editorial standards to ensure consistency across teams, making use of AI where it actually helps.
