âď¸ The 3-tier content strategy
AI content creation is transforming marketing. With the right strategy, AI can help generate engaging, high-quality content at scale.
Ty Magnin, CEO of Animalz and former Director of Marketing at UiPath, has developed a 3-tier system for leveraging AI content:
Tier 1 - Strategic Assets
The first tier focuses on creating key strategic assets with the highest value. These are the content youâd want to create internally with little to no aid from AI tools. As Ty explained:
"Tier one was stuff we deemed as of strategic importance. And we had calculator that actually looked at three factors for every idea or project that came our way. The three factors were value to customer...value to the business, value to UiPath...And the third thing was feasibility."
For UiPath, this included premium content like in-depth reports that provided unique insights by compiling and analyzing internal data. These high-impact assets were created manually in-house.
Tier 2 - Outsourced Premium Content
The second tier was still premium, strategic content but outsourced to trusted agencies instead of created in-house. You might use AI to craft the brief or a basic outline. But youâd want to be as high-touch as possible still with these types of content. As Ty put it:
"The next level down would be we would fund it, okay. But it was produced by our trusted agent. Again, the content team says this is of strategic importance. Still, we will pay, but we can't do it ourselves."
This allowed UiPath to scale content output for items aligned to strategic goals. Although outsourced, UiPath still managed these projects closely.
Tier 3 - AI-Generated Content
The third tier focused on high-volume, AI-generated content. As Ty explained:
"Tier 3 content are the keywords that are probably not your most important keywords. The operating model would be if you can get someone in your team to do it using AI, provide guidelines that they can follow."
For UiPath, this included lower-priority SEO content and website pages that helped with overall domain authority. The content team provided guidelines, but teams could largely self-serve.
This 3-tier system allowed UiPath to balance investment in premium assets with leveraging AI for scalable content output.
