Story Angle Generator
Develop follow-up story ideas and source recommendations for journalists
Overview
The Story Angle Generator helps content teams and journalists develop compelling story angles and narrative hooks that transform standard topics into engaging, differentiated content. The difference between content that resonates and content that gets ignored often comes down to finding the right angle—the unique perspective, unexpected insight, or human element that makes a story compelling. This agent analyzes topics, identifies multiple potential angles based on audience interests and current trends, and suggests narrative frameworks that drive engagement. Whether developing blog posts, articles, case studies, or video content, teams using elvex can consistently find fresh perspectives that cut through content noise.

Example prompt
"Generate story angles for content about 'remote work productivity tools' targeting mid-market B2B companies. We want to create content that stands out from the hundreds of generic 'best tools for remote teams' listicles. Develop 8 distinct angles that could each become a unique piece of content. Consider angles like: contrarian takes on popular tools, industry-specific tool strategies, cost optimization approaches, security and compliance perspectives, change management and adoption challenges, hybrid work specific considerations, or data-driven tool selection frameworks. For each angle, provide a working headline, 3-4 key points to cover, and the recommended content format (blog post, case study, video, etc.)."
