Skenario Umum
Skenario 1: Executive tidak punya waktu untuk content
Situasi: Founder sangat sibuk dan tidak bisa menulis content sendiri.
Tindakan: (1) Implementasi ghostwriting process — 30 menit interview per minggu cukup untuk 2-3 posts. (2) Content team buat draft, executive hanya review (15-30 menit). (3) Use voice notes — executive rekam pendapatnya saat commute, content team transkrip dan polish. (4) Batch production — 1 jam interview = 1 bulan worth of content.
Skenario 2: Ingin speaking tapi belum punya track record
Situasi: Tim ingin mulai speaking di conferences tapi belum pernah sebelumnya.
Tindakan: (1) Mulai dari community meetup atau company webinar (low-risk). (2) Co-present dengan partner atau client (credibility boost). (3) Buat 1-2 webinar recording sebagai portfolio. (4) Apply ke conference CFP (Call for Papers) dengan topic yang sangat specific dan practical. (5) Leverage existing content — turn popular blog posts into talks.
Skenario 3: Media quote digunakan out of context
Situasi: Journalist mengutip statement yang ternyata misleading dalam konteksnya.
Tindakan: (1) Jangan panik atau publicly complain. (2) Contact journalist secara privat, jelaskan concern dengan sopan. (3) Minta correction/clarification jika factually wrong. (4) Publish clarification di own channels jika perlu. (5) Untuk ke depan, selalu minta review quote sebelum publish.
