In fact, a 2015 survey by Ascend2 showed by 72 percent of marketing, sales and business professionals shared that opinion. And 46 percent agree that content creation is one of the most difficult tasks. Yet too many marketing departments and agencies fail to acknowledge the importance and difficulty of [creating great content](https://www.jonespr.net/blog/402746/edit-beta/www.jonespr.net/content-quality-report-card) when it’s time to assign jobs. Instead, they make the common mistakes outlined in our problem/solution paper—[Content Creation Mistake: Failing to Find and Enable Good Writers](https://www.jonespr.net/problem-solution-content-creation). Those mistakes: 1. Assigning writing duties to the newest or most inexperienced staff. 2. Not giving writers time to focus on writing.

Are your writers (or your agency’s writers) getting it right the first time through? **Our advice**: Read through the reasons for taking a quality-first approach to content creation in our [problem/solution paper](https://www.jonespr.net/problem-solution-content-creation), and then review how JONES approaches writing in [The JONES Solution: Content Creation](https://www.jonespr.net/content-creation-the-jones-solution). ## 6 Steps To Creating Enviable Brands Download our guide 6 Steps to Creating Enviable Brands to learn the crucial steps you should follow to create an enviable brand for your company.
