In this episode of The Cutting Room, we spoke with Margaret Jones, Head of Content at Airtable. Margaret brought some amazing insight not just on creating and editing better content, but also navigating an organization that has grown from 5 to 70 marketers in just over a year.

Listen in as Margaret Jones, Head of Content at Airtable, discusses her approach to content marketing and managing a growing content team. Margaret shares her process for handling input from various stakeholders, which involves using a form in Airtable to gather input and identifying common needs across the organization to efficiently create content


For the first time on the show, we talked about:


👉 Prioritizing requests.

👉 Developing and scoring authors.

👉 Smart intake processes from internal stakeholders.


Plus, she went hard on the live edit.


💬 Here are some of our favorite quotable moments💬


"Content is like the air that the marketing team breathes."


"[We're] basically coming to all of our stakeholders and looking for key themes across the org, or patterns and things that people are looking for...because you can't do everything."


"One of my priorities as an editor is not just to make the piece awesome, but it's also to make the writer feel more empowered next time that they're writing a piece."


Margaret also provided us with an amazing resource in this Airtable base, which acts as a rubric for scoring different aspects of an author's piece.
