Your situation

Quicker content was the easy part

Keeping up with quality control at 100mph is hard and annoying.

More content, less control

AI means you're shipping more than ever. Great. Now you have even more things to worry about.

Speed is killing control

Things are moving too fast to always sense check properly. So you're shipping more but trusting it less.

Everyone wants in on the action

Every team's got the next big LLM-powered idea. You're not just creating anymore, you're fielding requests.

Reviews. Always, the reviews.

There's a review process and there's sign-off. But it's under pressure and it's starting to slip.

And the payoff is unclear

There's plenty of data, but it's not always clear what the content was meant to do (or if it did it).

AI gave everyone a content engine. Nobody gave you quality control.

You don't need more tools or processes, you need an experienced pair of eyes who can slot in, make sense of the situation and keep the quality bar where you need it.

What you need

Someone to help you hold it all together

Not a replacement. Not a new process. Just senior editorial bandwidth, exactly where you need it.

An extra pair of eyes

Someone making sure what goes out is good. Reviewing, tightening and catching the things that slip through when everyone's moving fast.

The story stays intact

Even with five people and two LLMs involved, it sounds like the same company. Consistent tone, consistent message, no surprises.

Support when you need it

Help with reviews, rewrites and the tricky pieces that are taking too long. Without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Less talking, more fixing

Content gets better because someone's treating it seriously. Considered, curated and cared for (not just approved and shipped).

What a week looks like

In your setup, on your terms

  • 1-2 days per week. Senior support, not another hire
  • I step into whatever matters most (web, email, product, sales)
  • I work inside your existing tools and workflows
  • No onboarding overhead and no long ramp-up time.
  • An experienced external eye when things start to drift
The result

Control, without the overhead

  • Content sounds like it's coming from one place
  • Teams move quickly without everything needing a second pass
  • Fewer review loops. Fewer "can you take another look at this?"
  • More confidence in what's going out
Who does this

Hi. I'm Mike.

I've spent a decade writing for some of the most complex organisations in the world. Meta. Google Cloud. Enterprise tech, AI infrastructure, compliance. Places where the volume is high and the quality bar doesn't move.

I know how content teams work under pressure. The competing requests, the review loops, the stuff that ships when it probably shouldn't. My job is to help you keep a handle on it.

Frequently asked questions

On content control and quality at scale

Why is it so hard to maintain content quality when you're using AI?

Because AI solves the production problem, not the quality problem. It makes it easy to generate more. What it doesn't do is tell you whether what you've generated is accurate, on-brand, strategically coherent or actually worth publishing. That judgment still needs a human. And when the volume goes up, the human bandwidth for that judgment doesn't automatically follow.

What is a content review bottleneck and why does it happen?

A content review bottleneck is what happens when the rate of content production outpaces the capacity to review it properly. AI has dramatically increased how much teams can produce. The review process hasn't kept pace. So either things ship without proper scrutiny, or everything slows to a crawl waiting for someone to look at it. Neither is good.

How do you keep content consistent when multiple people and AI tools are involved?

With a clear brief, a strong editorial voice and someone whose job it is to maintain both. When five people and two LLMs are all touching the same content programme, consistency doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone is treating the quality bar as a non-negotiable and catching the things that drift before they ship.

What does a fractional editorial partner actually do?

Steps into the workflow wherever the pressure is highest. That might mean reviewing and tightening copy before it goes live, writing the tricky pieces that are taking too long, or just being the experienced eye that catches the things that slip through when everyone's moving fast. Senior editorial support without the overhead of a full-time hire.

How do you maintain brand voice across a high-volume content programme?

By treating it as an active job, not a passive guideline. Brand voice documents don't maintain themselves. Someone needs to be reading what's going out, flagging the drift and making the calls on what stays and what gets rewritten. That's the editorial function most teams are missing when they scale up their content output.

What's the difference between content quantity and content quality?

Quantity is easy now. Quality is the competitive advantage. When every team has access to the same AI tools, the output converges. The thing that makes content worth reading — a genuine point of view, a specific insight, a voice that sounds like a real person — still requires human editorial judgment. That's where the gap is, and it's widening.
