A content strategy and production proposal from The Contented Agency — built to position Founders Official as the definitive editorial platform for entrepreneurship: globally relevant, commercially focused, and unmistakably female.

2026

Your brief to us

You help women entrepreneurs operate & grow.
Now, they'll excel, scale & inspire too.

Founders Official is repositioning as the definitive editorial platform for entrepreneurship. Globally relevant, commercially focused, and built with a clear female lens.

"Content builds credibility and long-term brand value, not sales."

Two objectives drive this: becoming the go-to destination for sharp, commercially grounded founder content, and attracting a higher-calibre founder into your ecosystem — and naturally toward Acentric.

The output: a clear content strategy covering editorial voice, themes, platform direction, and 2–3 months of executed content across Instagram, newsletter, LinkedIn, and web.

Why Contented? We are a female-founded and led collective. With us, you get content strategists, marketing experts, specialist writers, and project management — all with a lived understanding of navigating business through a female lens.

Who are Contented?

Content that changes everything.

Contented creates excellent, compelling, unmissable content that represents, empowers, and drives businesses towards their brand and commercial objectives.

Our global team of expert writers, marketing strategists, proofreaders, editors, graphic designers, client service and project management specialists are committed to radically shaping how content communicates and empowers.

"It's our job to present your messages in the most powerful way possible."

With exciting, engaging, and consistent content that allows you to be a strong and impactful brand across every channel — delivering positive change and big impact.

Our approach

Inclusive storytelling,
at every level.

Approaching content from more than a single viewpoint is imaginative, informative, and necessary — and it underpins everything we do.

🫀

Empathy first

We put empathy at the foundation of all communications, recognising that one message does not fit all audiences.

Part of a circle

We make readers, listeners and viewers feel part of a circle — not spoken at, but genuinely included and seen.

🤝

Co-creation

Ditch the experts label. Cooperation, co-creation and collaboration is key to content that truly resonates.

📍

Meet your audience

We go to where your audience is — whether in-person or online, we reach them where they already are.

Working principles

How we work
with every brand.

The Contented Agency is committed to learning all that we can about your purpose, objectives and challenges. Every plan we craft is built on two core principles.

01

Clarity

We design solutions with straightforwardness in mind, ensuring they are easily graspable by customers, team members and partners alike. Clarity in communication and execution is fundamental to fostering a deep and intuitive understanding of your brand's vision and value proposition.

02

Longevity

The strategies we suggest will be resilient and adaptable, accommodating growth and the evolution of consumer demographics without painting the brand into a corner. Forward-looking and agile, capable of thriving amidst the ebbs and flows of market dynamics and consumer trends.

Our vision for Founders Official

Where events meet lived experience — and a media platform is born.

The Contented Agency will immerse ourselves in the world of Founders Official. We'll listen, learn, research, collaborate, ideate and execute.

We'll ensure that the place where the magic happens — at the crossroads of your meaningful in-person events and the real-world, lived experiences and knowledge of the experts that FO has access to — is established via a media-led platform. A platform that feels home to the world's female entrepreneurs.

Together, we'll ensure that Nicki's invaluable brand — purposeful, assured and candid — is recognisable. The voice of Founders Official, unmistakable.

And that the high-calibre, commercially-focused female entrepreneurs out there find Founders Official — and spread the word.

Sample concept

The content funnel:
one idea, every channel.

How one flagship piece of content gets repurposed across every platform — maximising reach, consistency and commercial impact. Here's exactly how it works in practice.

Flagship piece
"The Ultimate Guide to Pitch Preparation"

A deeply-researched, authoritative long-form guide — the kind of definitive resource that positions Founders Official as the go-to editorial destination for commercially-minded female founders. This is the engine that powers everything below.
