Window 4 - Why Strife? Pitching a Next-Generation CMS to Executives
Welcome to Advent of Strife and Window 4 🎄 In this window, we share how to make the case for Strife as a next-generation CMS, helping your team embrace a faster, more effective way to craft brand content.
“Works fine” software is the silent killer of productivity. It slows your team down, frustrates creators, and ultimately holds your brand back. Strife was built to break free from this cycle. It’s fast, intuitive, and empowers teams to create exceptional content without roadblocks.
Here’s how to pitch Strife to your executive team and make the case for switching to a CMS designed for today’s marketing challenges.
The Problem: “Works Fine” Isn’t Good Enough
A CMS that “works fine” might not seem like a problem—until it is. Teams adapt to clunky workflows, endure slow previews, and spend time patching up tools that don’t talk to each other. Over time, these inefficiencies snowball into lost productivity, lower-quality content, and frustrated teams.
The hidden costs of clunky CMS software:
Missed opportunities: Slow tools make it harder to keep up with the fast pace of marketing campaigns.
Inconsistent experiences: Siloed systems lead to misaligned content, damaging your brand’s image.
Burnout and frustration: Creators feel stuck, constantly wrestling with software instead of focusing on what they do best.
Strife changes all of this by providing a CMS that works as fast and flexibly as your team needs it to.
