In this episode, Sushi and Robyn explore the world of content strategy – why has it been such a buzzword this year? Is it simply a template you can fill out with boxes to be ticked throughout the year? Spoiler alert, it’s a bit more complicated.

We also spoke to Amanda Diamond, senior content lead at the Government Digital Service (who has since moved to head of content design at ACAS) about the content strategy the organisation is implementing to manage gov.uk's vast estate of content.
