Brag Doc Template
Content Strategist Brag Doc
A brag doc for a Content Strategist is the record of strategic content bets that paid off in traffic or conversion, editorial craft that elevated the voice, SEO-driven outcomes that compounded month over month, and the production-system work that made the team ship more without losing quality. The template below captures all four.

Content Strategist calibration is built on traffic and conversion outcomes, editorial craft, SEO contribution, and production system improvements.

Weak vs. Strong bullets
The format does the easy part. The bullets carry the weight. A few examples to set the bar.

Strong
Shipped 47 long-form posts this half across the career-development pillar I built in Q1. Aggregate organic traffic moved from 12K monthly sessions to 87K (7x); pipeline attributed to organic content per RevOps moved from $80K to $620K in committee-target SQL ARR.

Manual template vs. Bloomly generated report
Manual brag doc
- Works when you already remember the right examples.
- Requires manual sorting, rewriting, and evidence cleanup.
- Best for a one-time draft or printable structure.
Bloomly generated report
- Starts from the work you captured when it happened.
- Organizes entries by goals, skills, impact, and review period.
- Turns daily evidence into shareable summaries and PDF reports.
You don't fill out a Bloomly report. Bloomly writes it.
The template above is the manual version. Bloomly is the generated version. Thirty seconds when something good happens (speak it or type it) and at review time the entire document is in your share sheet. Same shape as the template. Your numbers, your names, your dates. Already written.
