The Human Content Brief

Hosted by humanized content advisor Scott Murray, The Human Content Brief is a creative and informative show for business owners, content marketers, specialists, and strategists who want their content to stand out—and still feel human.

Presented like an intelligence briefing, each episode delivers a mix of insights, trends, commentary, and conversations that help you keep the human element at the forefront in your content.

From balancing AI with real audience connection to exploring how messaging, tone, and creativity impact strategy, this show helps you stay sharp in a world that’s often too automated, too repetitive, or too generic.

New episodes every other week. Stay human, stay tuned.
