Content Matrix
In one sentence
A coordinated content strategy structured across platforms, accounts, and content types, giving each account a distinct role to publish.
A single brand can use official accounts to talk about products, expert accounts to share knowledge, employee accounts for daily work life, and customer posts for word of mouth. Readers behave differently on each platform, so content formats should adapt accordingly.
When building a matrix, define each account's role first, then set publishing frequency to avoid posting the same content everywhere.
Example
A brand publishes in-depth articles on WeChat, product-use notes on Xiaohongshu (RED), talking-head short videos on Douyin, and answers professional questions on Zhihu.
