Relevant
Emotionally compelling

Before you publish.

Who It’s For:

Agencies refining client campaigns
Founders writing LinkedIn posts
Marketing teams launching new products
Students learning how to structure ideas
Anyone using AI and wanting to improve the output

Because AI can produce content quickly.

But C.A.R.E helps you evaluate whether it’s worth publishing.

Why I Created the C.A.R.E. Content Score

During a workshop I conducted with university students, I saw this clearly.

Students, despite being in Year 4, and many having freelance marketing and content creation experiences, only unlocked their creativity when they are given clear instructions about what “good content” actually means.

That’s when I introduced C.A.R.E.

At first, I thought it was too simple - it just had four words.

But something interesting happened.

Both students and adults in the room gained immediate clarity when asked to define good content using Clarity, Appropriateness, Relevance, Emotions.

Simple. But powerful.

How You Can Use the C.A.R.E Content Score

Clarity

Is your message unmistakably clear in the first few lines?Is the takeaway obvious?

Appropriateness

Does it fit the platform, format, and audience expectations?

Relevance

Does it speak to a specific pain point, context, or need?

Emotions

Does it create tension, curiosity, inspiration, or urgency?

Case Study Example

In the workshop, I asked Cambodian students to create a campaign to promote Hong Kong’s Pei Pa Koa (a legacy cough syrup brand) in Cambodia - where it was completely new.

They had never tasted it. Never seen it. No product familiarity.

Yet within 30 minutes, using the C.A.R.E framework, they generated seven ready-to-execute ideas.

One that stood out:

Clarity – Show the product clearly: its texture and how it’s consumed.
Appropriateness – Use short-form vertical video optimized for Instagram.
Relevance – Feature a Cambodian rapper known for frequently losing his voice.
Emotions – Tell his inspirational story, tied to the relatable pain point of losing his voice.
