Move to the Beat,
Coca-Cola’s Crowdsourced Success.
01 Coca-Cola’s Story: Move to the Beat
In preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympic
Games in London, Coca-Cola launched “Move
to the Beat,” the single largest Olympics campaign
in the company’s history. Coca-Cola’s multimedia
campaign showcased millions of original and
crowdsourced videos from loyal fans around
the world. These user-generated works were
compiled into a 30-minute television show that
was broadcasted in 40 major markets globally.
Coke reached 45 million viewers on YouTube
alone and ensured that 70% of the engaged
audience actually fell within their target
demographic of 13 to 24 year-olds.
Why was Coca-Cola’s Olympic campaign
so successful?
“Move to the Beat” had all the trademarks of a
genius content distribution strategy. By carefully
identifying their business goals, producing content
that aligned with their brand, and then distributing
that content in places their audience actually spent
time, Coca-Cola hit the sweet spot of content
marketing.

02 Getting Started
Getting Started.
01 Knowing what to say
The first step here is to identify your business
goals. What are you trying to achieve with your
content? You might be trying to increase user
engagement, boost brand awareness, promote
thought leadership, or drive leads. Whatever your
goal may be, content must be carefully created and
curated to balance what you want to communicate
(product promotions, events, news) and what your
reader will find valuable.
02 Knowing what the audience
wants to consume
Independent of editorial or marketing goals,
understanding your audience is critical to
successful content distribution. What are the
day-to-day problems for your audience? Are you
speaking to them as individual consumers or as
representatives of a B2B or B2C brand? Are they
signing the invoice or do they need to influence
purchase decisions up the chain of command?
Ideation to distribution of your content should be
tailored to your target consumer.
03 Knowing how and where
they spend their time
It’s important to grasp consumption behaviors.
When are consumers interacting with the most
content? Do they consume your competitors’
content? How are they discovering it? Analytics
can provide useful insight into these behaviors and
uncover valuable trends. Psychographic data is
readily available from social and search analytics
tools.
Remember: There is no one formula for creating
an effective distribution strategy. Tactics will vary
based upon your business goals, industry, content
type, and resources.

Tactics.
While there are many different methods
for distributing content based on channel,
audience, and business goal, all methods
can be bucketed into paid and unpaid
(earned) distribution methods.

“Content is of great importance,
Paid advertising can jumpstart engagement at the
launch of a campaign when your content hasn’t
been seen by many eyes. It’s also effective at
revitalizing and giving additional reach to existing
content that has historically performed well with
your audience.
In this section, we’ll explore three paid tactics:

» Paid social promotion

Ad Networks
Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is the most
common, paid method for boosting your brand’s
visibility online. PPC promotes content online
that attracts clicks from users—when a user clicks
on the ad, the marketer pays per click. There are
two types of PPC ads: search and content.
Search PPC requires the marketer to select
specific keywords that, when searched by a
potential consumer, will cue the display of paid
search ads for your company’s website. The
most common ad exchange is Google Adwords,
but there are many others including Bing Ads by
Microsoft. The marketer must pay a given amount
each time an ad is clicked so selecting relevant
keywords that attract viable leads is key. While
traditionally, paid ads often drive to a company’s
product page or e-commerce site, now marketers
are increasingly using paid advertising to promote
content. Why does this work? Readers are more
inclined to click on useful or informative content
over blatant promotions.
Content PPC ads appear as content on sites, often
underneath similar articles in a ”Related Articles”
widget. Many different ad networks have harnessed
content PPC such as Outbrain, Gravity, Clicksor, and
OneSpot.
Best Practices
01 For search PPC, select your keywords
carefully. Keep in mind what your target
audience may be searching.
02 Engaging copy is vitally important
to successful PPC advertising. The best
advertising text includes a call to action and
the same keywords that the user originally
typed into the search bar.
03 Paid advertising works particularly well
at the beginning of a campaign when you’re
trying to ramp up initial engagement with
a piece of content. If you can boost initial
engagement, your content may be featured
on “most read” lists, blog posts, or a site’s
hompage. This will drive further organic
traffic that is earned, not paid.
04 Paid Distribution

Paid Advertising
Via Social Networks
Many social networking sites, in addition to
providing free promotional platforms, also
feature paid ad channels for brands to harness.
LinkedIn ads and sponsored updates, promoted
Tweets, accounts, and trends, and sponsored
Facebook updates and ads are just a few that
allow for highly targeted content distribution.
In NewsCred’s experience, LinkedIn has been
a valuable distribution tool due to its growing
popularity and evolving marketing products.
85% of member engagement on LinkedIn is
with content. Compared with Twitter and
Facebook, LinkedIn generates the highest
visitor-to-lead conversion rate -- that’s nearly
3x higher. Outside of NewsCred, other brands
are experiencing superior results on LinkedIn.
A targeted and engaged audience is key to
company success. LinkedIn company page
followers were 2x more likely to purchase from
and recommend the company. Meanwhile,
B2B conversions were 4x higher on LinkedIn
than on Twitter and Facebook.
While we’ve experienced success with LinkedIn,
brands should test multiple ad types across
multiple social channels to see what works best
for their marketing strategy.
Best Practices
01 Carefully consider the cost-per-click
of each distribution method, not all social
platforms are created equal.
02 Paid social campaigns can get
expensive. As marketers on a budget, it’s
often wise to drive people to gated content
so that your social.efforts can be used as a
lead generation tools.

This is a basic and less expensive option for showcasing visual
content.
Shows new fans which of their friends have interacted with the
brand. Enhances the brand’s credibility through social proof.
Appears on the side of the Newsfeed, and directs viewers to an
off-Facebook property. You can redirect users to content offers and
landing pages.
Used to promote Facebook pages, but you can include a URL to a
non-Facebook property in the text, similar to the domain ad.
Amplifies an existing tweet to a larger or targeted audience. If you’re
already promoting content, you can easily turn your content tweet
into a promoted tweet to reach new eyes.
Receives high visibility due to Trends placement next to the
newsfeed. Promoted Trends may also make your keyword (hashtag)
look like it’s trending.
To promote your content, it helps to have a larger existing network
of content sharers. By promoting your account, you can increase the
chances of Twitter users sharing your content organically. Promoted
Accounts appear to the side of the Newsfeed under “Who to Follow.”
Delivers content directly to the home Newsfeed of target audiences.
Appears as small banner ads on the side of LinkedIn pages.
Allows you to send a personalized message to individual’s inboxes.
Messages come from individuals, rather than brands.

Here’s a breakdown of the major advertising options currently available to you:

Native Advertising
Native advertising, sometimes known as
branded content campaigns, result from
strategic partnerships between brands and
publishers. This type of relationship requires
a hefty financial investment on the brand
side. The brand will pay a publisher for access
to its audience, with the ability to merge its
own content into the user experience of the
publisher’s website. This can range from a
sponsored post to an entire editorial section
depending on your budget.
Remember: good content marketing fuels native
advertising. Native isn’t just about placement,
it’s about content that feels indigenous to the
platform where it’s displayed on and authentic
to the readers who consume information there.
For example, in June 2013, General Electric
partnered with BuzzFeed to promote GE
Aviation’s presence at the Paris Air Show.
The resulting “Flight Mode” allows visitors to
explore the BuzzFeed site in FlightMode -- via
a self-navigated airplane that flies over a grid
of BuzzFeed articles. The page also includes
other flight-themed content to complete the
experience. Considering that the campaign is
for a trade show, BuzzFeed, a highly trafficked,
consumer-facing site, may not seem like the
most logical publisher to partner with. According
to BuzzFeed President and COO, Jon Steinberg,
“people in positions to make purchases in the
aviation field like engaging content and the
same fun stuff as everyone else.”
04 Paid Distribution
Native Advertising Can...
» Give brands a targeted audience that
aligns with their brand and marketing goals
» Allow brands to reach their audience
on a platform they already know, love and
read everyday, without disrupting their
consumption habits
» Give brands the journalists and production
resources to create quality content at scale
» Help brands create awareness while still
having their branding on the content. It’s
important to note that content should be
developed with journalistic integrity. It should
be clearly labeled as “Sponsored Content”,
and ads should be only in designated “ad
areas”
Best Practices
01 Consider the intersection between
your desired audience and the audience
of possible partners. Does native
advertising campaigns make sense?
02 Don’t be afraid to think outside the
box when it comes to branded content
campaigns.
03 The widest distribution comes from
social sharing. Interesting, unusual and
highly visual content is shared the most.
04 Consider the location of your sponsored
post and target based on relevant content
nearby. Remember to produce articles and
video with
the endemic audience in mind.
05 Remember that this is about
longevity. You aren’t going to build up
interestovernight. You’ll have to run these
campaigns for 3-12 months in order to see
tangible results.

Organic Distribution.
In this section, we will outline five low-cost distribution tactics: lead nurturing, social media, free content
platforms, crowdsourcing, and SEO. While these content distribution tactics require little to no monetary
investment, they can require significant investment of time and energy.
05 Organic Distribution
Lead Nurturing
Lead nurturing is the process of building
business relationships with prospects early in
the buying cycle. While the prospect may not be
ready to buy, the ultimate goal is to develop a
strong rapport to earn their trust when they are
ready to purchase your product. Lead nurturing
begins when a prospect fills out a form for your
website, white paper, newsletter, or sales inquiry.
The relationship is maintained through periodically-
timed communications (newsletters, calls, emails)
that continue through the sales cycle.
Lead nurturing is easily executed through marketing
automation platforms like Marketo and Hubspot.
It relies on a series of communications that are
targeted and distributed based on demographic,
behavioral actions, and the stage of the sales cycle.
Personalize content to a segmented
audience based on their industry, web
behavior, job, function, or vertical.
Automatically serve content based on
the prospect’s stage in the buying cycle.
Continually track the prospect’s
interactions with the brand and stage
in the buying cycle.
Lead Nurturing
accomplishes three goals:
01
02
03
Best Practices
01 Optimize your site for your CTA or
form. Include fields that capture company
information, business needs or interests,
and contact information.
02 Every page of your site should have a
tracking code or munchkin to monitor user
activity, including time spent on your page
and bounce rates.
03 Make it easy (and obvious) for users
to find the “Contact Us” button.
04 Produce and gate only your relevant,
high-value content.

For example, we’ve optimized our content landing pages to showcase the contact form
above the fold. Limiting the number of fields a user must fill out can increase form completes:

Social networks
Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Google+, and Pinterest
are great platforms to distribute content that drives
users back to your website. Each platform, however,
is best suited for a different type of content
distribution.
Facebook
» Share content that is highly visual—articles and
images get 94% more views that those without.
(Content + 2013)
» Always include a call-to-action within you text.
If possible, reinforce your CTA with illustrations in
your post’s image.
» Facebook users love interactive content.
Innovative methods for visual content distribution
such as contests fuel engagement on Facebook.
With 1.5. billion monthly active users, it’s no
wonder that 67% of B2C companies and 41%
of B2B companies have acquired a customer
from Facebook. In 2013, 74% of all marketers
indicated that Facebook is the most important
channel for their social lead generation plan.
How does Facebook fit into your current lead
generation strategy?
05 Organic Distribution
» Stay away from shameless self-promotion.
» Post interesting industry news and other useful
bits of information so that your audience continues
to return and share your postings.
» Be thoughtful when posting. If posted during
your audience’s highest engagement periods,
strategically scheduled posts can help increase
engagement. Thoughtless automated posting can
decrease Facebook likes and comments by 70%.
(Digital Buzz Blog 2012)
Twitter
69% of B2C marketers and 80% of B2B marketers
use Twitter to distribute content. In 2013, Twitter
announced its intentions to build more robust lead
generation tools into their platform. As of writing,
Twitter’s lead generation cards are still proving their
efficacy. Learn how this option may provide value to
your brand.
» For lead generation efforts, tweet out content
that lives on your website or blog in order to drive
traffic back to your site.
» Strike a balance between links to content and
conversational tweets. Twitter allows you to both
distribute content and engage with your audience.
» Humanize your brand by starting conversations,
reach out to individuals and pose questions about
the content you’re distributing.
» Tweet often. The most widely followed Twitter
accounts send an average of 22 tweets per day.
(Hubspot)
» Use hashtags and tag relevant people, brands
and publishers in your tweets to increase
engagement from related parties.
» Abide by the 4-1-1 rule. For every one self-serving
tweet, you should re-tweet one relevant tweet and
most importantly, share four pieces of relevant
content written by others. (Marketo)
“Social media
lead conversion
rates are 13% higher

LinkedIn
Linkedin is particularly effective for B2B content
distribution. In fact, 83% of B2B marketers use
LinkedIn to distribute content.
Spotlight
Microsoft not only promotes a variety of content on its rapidly updating LinkedIn
page. It also includes product recommendations from users, an active tech support
portal, and a Networking Group called “Be Future Ready,” for users who want to
turn ideas into business solutions through technology.
» Create your own LinkedIn group. It’s free and
allows you to moderate discussion and post
content in your specialty areas.
» Share your most relevant, interesting content in
other LinkedIn groups.
» Be discerning about which content you share in
which group. Not every group you are a member of
will be interested in every piece of content you are
pushing out. Consider your desired audience and
post accordingly.
» On your own company page, you can target
specific updates to certain Linkedin members by
role, industry, and company size.
» Always engage. Reply to all comments on your
posts and discussions
» Use LinkedIn messages strategically. You can
send free messages to members of your own
network encouraging them to join your groups.

Google+
Since its launch, Google+ has garnered the second
largest active follower-base after Facebook.
Between this massive distribution network and
ease of sharing, Google+ is an obvious choice for
supplemental content distribution.
Spotlight
Mercedes-Benz maximizes Google+ by releasing regular updates, featuring a variety of content types.
» Posting on Google+ results in improved search
results on Google. Post actively in order to improve
SEO.
» Add the +1 button to your site. Websites with the
+1 button generate 3.5x more Google+ visits than
sites without. (Hubspot)

Pinterest
This image-driven social platform sees 30 million
unique monthly visitors and drives more traffic
to websites and blogs than Twitter, LinkedIn,
Google+, or YouTube.
Spotlight
Jetsetter maximizes the visual component of Pinterest. By creating boards for all categories of travel
including architecture, bucket list vacation spots, promotions, and quotes, Jetsetter differentiates its
content and yet creates a rich, visual experience that entices viewers to click.
Best Practices
for Social Distribution
01 Don’t spread yourself too thin on social
channels. Rather than tackling every
platform, choose the few that work best for
your brand, audience, and type of content.
02 Add social buttons to your site.
This will provide more opportunities for
audience engagement with your content.
03 Cross promote your content across
your active social channels to improve
social sharing and page views.
» Pin images that link back to your site. The
purpose of Pinterest is to engage users through
visual content, so choose enticing images in
order to drive traffic back to your site.
» Include rich descriptions along with your pins.
Consider discoverability when pinning content
and use accurate descriptors to simplify search.
» Keep SEO in mind when naming your images.
Remember that your content is not only living on
Pinterest but also on search engines all over the
web. Using descriptive file names can improve
your organic searchability.

Leveraging free
content platforms
Free content platforms, like YouTube and Slideshare,
give brands the functionality distribute content to
and engage with a built-in audience. These media
platforms are quite different -- YouTube is suited
for video content while Slideshare allows brands
to publish presentation decks -- but both provide
brands the opportunity to promote anything from
thought leadership to events and campaigns.
YouTube
Considering that 46% of people say they’d be
more likely to seek out information about a product
or service after seeing it in an online video, it’s
safe to say that video should play a role in every
company’s content strategy. 70% of B2B marketers
use some form of online video as part of their
content marketing efforts.
05 Organic Distribution
YouTube Best Practices
01 Upload all video assets. This will increase
the chances of your content being found and
shared by an engaged audience.
02 Give your videos searchable descriptions
and tags.
03 Vary your content. Include how-to, case
study, conference and event footage, and
interview videos.
04 Include your website url in the video
description to increase site traffic.
05 Embed your videos on your own website
to make them more discoverable and create
a richer experience.
Slideshare
01 Make sure your title slide is easy to
read and visually interesting. The truth is that
people do judge a presentation by its cover,
so make sure you appeal to your audience’s
aesthetic right off the bat.
02 Optimize your Slideshare for SEO by
including keyword-rich titles.
03 Promote your presentations across
multiple social channels and your blog.
04 Repurpose your white papers and guides
into Slideshare presentations. You can reach
additional audiences by just changing the
format of your content.
For many businesses, Slideshare has become an
integral part of their content distribution strategy.
More than just a place to upload webinar slides
and case study decks, Slideshare is a social
communitywith 60 million monthly visitors who
are ready to engage with your content. The key
to Slideshare is creating content that is relevant
or useful to your target audience.

NewsCred produced a highly trafficked Slideshare
presentation on the 50 Best Content Marketing
Statistics. The presentation provided useful
statistics about the value of content marketing
that marketers could easily reference and use
in their own business. The content, which was
consolidated from many sources across the web
was presented in an attractive, visual, and on-
brand manner. NewsCred promoted the deck
across multiple social platforms, which prompted
viral sharing and over 120,000 views. To leverage
the platform even further, the premium version of
Slideshare offers a call-to-action form that can be
applied to presentations. This enables marketers
to use the platform for lead generation.

Crowdsourcing
Crowdsourcing can play a pivotal role in content
marketing and distribution, if done correctly.
Leveraging the power of crowds can be effective
for both large brands and companies with small
budgets and few resources.
Spotlight
One successful crowdsourcing example was
Bacardi’s “It Started With a Party” campaign
to mark the company’s 150th birthday. The
campaign, hosted on Talenthouse, asked
individuals to create and upload videos with
the “It Started With a Party” theme to show that
Bacardi parties are always “catalysts that enable
meaningful human connections.” Bacardi packed
its website full of content about the historic rum
company including example videos for contest
participants to consume, gain inspiration, and
emulate in their own creative submissions. The
campaign ultimately served its goal of driving
more traffic to the site, attracting new users,
boosting the Bacardi brand, and gaining a
wider distribution network. The key here was
that in engaging its audience through participant
submissions, Bacardi’s campaign encouraged
social sharing . Participants and their friends
would share their original videos living on the
website and ultimately drive traffic back to
Bacardi.

SEO Strategies
SEO is the act of leveraging targeted keywords
to ensure that your website or article can
be found in search engines. SEO requires a
combination of tactics to guarantee visits to your
content. To secure a higher ranking in search
engine results pages (SERP), it’s imperative to
build Pagerank. Pagerank is the process that
Google uses to determine the importance of
a given website based on relevant keywords
or phrases. The way to build Pagerank is
to increase inbound links to your domain.
Essentially, SEO helps search engines figure
out what each page on the web contains, and
how useful it might be to users.
Best Practices
01 Determine the relevant keywords for the
particular piece of content you are distributing
and tag and title it accordingly. This means
identifying the major themes and topics for
your content.
02 Always use the desired keyword in the
headline.
03 Include the keyword at least once near top
of the content piece, within the first 100 words.
04 Use the keyword at least three times in
the body copy. The amount of times the
keyword should be referenced is relative to the
length of the article. The longer the article, the
more times you should use the keyword.
05 Try to focus your content around one
keyword. Too many keywords will confuse the
search engine and may trigger filters.
06 Try and build as many inbound links to
your domain through content sharing, guest
posting, and outreach.

  • 2. The demand for information has never been so great. Through original creation or licensing and curation, content is available for brands to leverage to boost their visibility, engage with new audiences and drive leads. Without a thorough distribution strategy, your content is dead in the water. This guide is designed to help you develop a content distribution strategy for your brand. Paid Distribution Tactics Tactics Organic Distribution Tactics Getting Started Coca-Cola’s Story Table of Contents In this guide, you’ll receive: » An introduction to content distribution. What is it and why is it important? » A detailed analysis of content distribution options for every content type and business goal. » Best practices for tailoring content to specific distribution channels. 01 02 03 04 05
  • 3. © 2013 NewsCred 3 Move to the Beat, Coca-Cola’s Crowdsourced Success. 01 Coca-Cola’s Story: Move to the Beat In preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, Coca-Cola launched “Move to the Beat,” the single largest Olympics campaign in the company’s history. Coca-Cola’s multimedia campaign showcased millions of original and crowdsourced videos from loyal fans around the world. These user-generated works were compiled into a 30-minute television show that was broadcasted in 40 major markets globally. Coke reached 45 million viewers on YouTube alone and ensured that 70% of the engaged audience actually fell within their target demographic of 13 to 24 year-olds. Why was Coca-Cola’s Olympic campaign so successful? “Move to the Beat” had all the trademarks of a genius content distribution strategy. By carefully identifying their business goals, producing content that aligned with their brand, and then distributing that content in places their audience actually spent time, Coca-Cola hit the sweet spot of content marketing.
  • 4. © 2013 NewsCred 4 02 Getting Started Getting Started. 01 Knowing what to say The first step here is to identify your business goals. What are you trying to achieve with your content? You might be trying to increase user engagement, boost brand awareness, promote thought leadership, or drive leads. Whatever your goal may be, content must be carefully created and curated to balance what you want to communicate (product promotions, events, news) and what your reader will find valuable. 02 Knowing what the audience wants to consume Independent of editorial or marketing goals, understanding your audience is critical to successful content distribution. What are the day-to-day problems for your audience? Are you speaking to them as individual consumers or as representatives of a B2B or B2C brand? Are they signing the invoice or do they need to influence purchase decisions up the chain of command? Ideation to distribution of your content should be tailored to your target consumer. 03 Knowing how and where they spend their time It’s important to grasp consumption behaviors. When are consumers interacting with the most content? Do they consume your competitors’ content? How are they discovering it? Analytics can provide useful insight into these behaviors and uncover valuable trends. Psychographic data is readily available from social and search analytics tools. Remember: There is no one formula for creating an effective distribution strategy. Tactics will vary based upon your business goals, industry, content type, and resources.

  • 7. Paid Distribution. “Content is of great importance, Paid advertising can jumpstart engagement at the launch of a campaign when your content hasn’t been seen by many eyes. It’s also effective at revitalizing and giving additional reach to existing content that has historically performed well with your audience. In this section, we’ll explore three paid tactics: » Ad networks » Paid social promotion » Native advertising 04 Paid Distribution © 2013 NewsCred 7
  • 8. © 2013 NewsCred 8 Ad Networks Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is the most common, paid method for boosting your brand’s visibility online. PPC promotes content online that attracts clicks from users—when a user clicks on the ad, the marketer pays per click. There are two types of PPC ads: search and content. Search PPC requires the marketer to select specific keywords that, when searched by a potential consumer, will cue the display of paid search ads for your company’s website. The most common ad exchange is Google Adwords, but there are many others including Bing Ads by Microsoft. The marketer must pay a given amount each time an ad is clicked so selecting relevant keywords that attract viable leads is key. While traditionally, paid ads often drive to a company’s product page or e-commerce site, now marketers are increasingly using paid advertising to promote content. Why does this work? Readers are more inclined to click on useful or informative content over blatant promotions. Content PPC ads appear as content on sites, often underneath similar articles in a ”Related Articles” widget. Many different ad networks have harnessed content PPC such as Outbrain, Gravity, Clicksor, and OneSpot. Best Practices 01 For search PPC, select your keywords carefully. Keep in mind what your target audience may be searching. 02 Engaging copy is vitally important to successful PPC advertising. The best advertising text includes a call to action and the same keywords that the user originally typed into the search bar. 03 Paid advertising works particularly well at the beginning of a campaign when you’re trying to ramp up initial engagement with a piece of content. If you can boost initial engagement, your content may be featured on “most read” lists, blog posts, or a site’s hompage. This will drive further organic traffic that is earned, not paid. 04 Paid Distribution
  • 9. © 2013 NewsCred 9 Paid Advertising Via Social Networks Many social networking sites, in addition to providing free promotional platforms, also feature paid ad channels for brands to harness. LinkedIn ads and sponsored updates, promoted Tweets, accounts, and trends, and sponsored Facebook updates and ads are just a few that allow for highly targeted content distribution. In NewsCred’s experience, LinkedIn has been a valuable distribution tool due to its growing popularity and evolving marketing products. 85% of member engagement on LinkedIn is with content. Compared with Twitter and Facebook, LinkedIn generates the highest visitor-to-lead conversion rate -- that’s nearly 3x higher. Outside of NewsCred, other brands are experiencing superior results on LinkedIn. A targeted and engaged audience is key to company success. LinkedIn company page followers were 2x more likely to purchase from and recommend the company. Meanwhile, B2B conversions were 4x higher on LinkedIn than on Twitter and Facebook. While we’ve experienced success with LinkedIn, brands should test multiple ad types across multiple social channels to see what works best for their marketing strategy. Best Practices 01 Carefully consider the cost-per-click of each distribution method, not all social platforms are created equal. 02 Paid social campaigns can get expensive. As marketers on a budget, it’s often wise to drive people to gated content so that your social.efforts can be used as a lead generation tools. 04 Paid Distribution

Enhances the brand’s credibility through social proof. Appears on the side of the Newsfeed, and directs viewers to an off-Facebook property. You can redirect users to content offers and landing pages. Used to promote Facebook pages, but you can include a URL to a non-Facebook property in the text, similar to the domain ad. Amplifies an existing tweet to a larger or targeted audience. If you’re already promoting content, you can easily turn your content tweet into a promoted tweet to reach new eyes. Receives high visibility due to Trends placement next to the newsfeed. Promoted Trends may also make your keyword (hashtag) look like it’s trending. To promote your content, it helps to have a larger existing network of content sharers. By promoting your account, you can increase the chances of Twitter users sharing your content organically. Promoted Accounts appear to the side of the Newsfeed under “Who to Follow.” Delivers content directly to the home Newsfeed of target audiences. Appears as small banner ads on the side of LinkedIn pages. Allows you to send a personalized message to individual’s inboxes. Messages come from individuals, rather than brands.

  • 11. © 2013 NewsCred 11 Native Advertising Native advertising, sometimes known as branded content campaigns, result from strategic partnerships between brands and publishers. This type of relationship requires a hefty financial investment on the brand side. The brand will pay a publisher for access to its audience, with the ability to merge its own content into the user experience of the publisher’s website. This can range from a sponsored post to an entire editorial section depending on your budget. Remember: good content marketing fuels native advertising. Native isn’t just about placement, it’s about content that feels indigenous to the platform where it’s displayed on and authentic to the readers who consume information there. For example, in June 2013, General Electric partnered with BuzzFeed to promote GE Aviation’s presence at the Paris Air Show. The resulting “Flight Mode” allows visitors to explore the BuzzFeed site in FlightMode -- via a self-navigated airplane that flies over a grid of BuzzFeed articles. The page also includes other flight-themed content to complete the experience. Considering that the campaign is for a trade show, BuzzFeed, a highly trafficked, consumer-facing site, may not seem like the most logical publisher to partner with. According to BuzzFeed President and COO, Jon Steinberg, “people in positions to make purchases in the aviation field like engaging content and the same fun stuff as everyone else.” 04 Paid Distribution Native Advertising Can... » Give brands a targeted audience that aligns with their brand and marketing goals » Allow brands to reach their audience on a platform they already know, love and read everyday, without disrupting their consumption habits » Give brands the journalists and production resources to create quality content at scale » Help brands create awareness while still having their branding on the content. It’s important to note that content should be developed with journalistic integrity. It should be clearly labeled as “Sponsored Content”, and ads should be only in designated “ad areas” Best Practices 01 Consider the intersection between your desired audience and the audience of possible partners. Does native advertising campaigns make sense? 02 Don’t be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to branded content campaigns. 03 The widest distribution comes from social sharing. Interesting, unusual and highly visual content is shared the most. 04 Consider the location of your sponsored post and target based on relevant content nearby. Remember to produce articles and video with the endemic audience in mind. 05 Remember that this is about longevity. You aren’t going to build up interestovernight. You’ll have to run these campaigns for 3-12 months in order to see tangible results.
  • 12. © 2013 NewsCred 12 Organic Distribution. In this section, we will outline five low-cost distribution tactics: lead nurturing, social media, free content platforms, crowdsourcing, and SEO. While these content distribution tactics require little to no monetary investment, they can require significant investment of time and energy. 05 Organic Distribution Lead Nurturing Lead nurturing is the process of building business relationships with prospects early in the buying cycle. While the prospect may not be ready to buy, the ultimate goal is to develop a strong rapport to earn their trust when they are ready to purchase your product. Lead nurturing begins when a prospect fills out a form for your website, white paper, newsletter, or sales inquiry. The relationship is maintained through periodically- timed communications (newsletters, calls, emails) that continue through the sales cycle. Lead nurturing is easily executed through marketing automation platforms like Marketo and Hubspot. It relies on a series of communications that are targeted and distributed based on demographic, behavioral actions, and the stage of the sales cycle. Personalize content to a segmented audience based on their industry, web behavior, job, function, or vertical. Automatically serve content based on the prospect’s stage in the buying cycle. Continually track the prospect’s interactions with the brand and stage in the buying cycle. Lead Nurturing accomplishes three goals: 01 02 03 Best Practices 01 Optimize your site for your CTA or form. Include fields that capture company information, business needs or interests, and contact information. 02 Every page of your site should have a tracking code or munchkin to monitor user activity, including time spent on your page and bounce rates. 03 Make it easy (and obvious) for users to find the “Contact Us” button. 04 Produce and gate only your relevant, high-value content.

  • 14. © 2013 NewsCred 14 Social networks Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Google+, and Pinterest are great platforms to distribute content that drives users back to your website. Each platform, however, is best suited for a different type of content distribution. Facebook » Share content that is highly visual—articles and images get 94% more views that those without. (Content + 2013) » Always include a call-to-action within you text. If possible, reinforce your CTA with illustrations in your post’s image. » Facebook users love interactive content. Innovative methods for visual content distribution such as contests fuel engagement on Facebook. With 1.5. billion monthly active users, it’s no wonder that 67% of B2C companies and 41% of B2B companies have acquired a customer from Facebook. In 2013, 74% of all marketers indicated that Facebook is the most important channel for their social lead generation plan. How does Facebook fit into your current lead generation strategy? 05 Organic Distribution » Stay away from shameless self-promotion. » Post interesting industry news and other useful bits of information so that your audience continues to return and share your postings. » Be thoughtful when posting. If posted during your audience’s highest engagement periods, strategically scheduled posts can help increase engagement. Thoughtless automated posting can decrease Facebook likes and comments by 70%. (Digital Buzz Blog 2012) Twitter 69% of B2C marketers and 80% of B2B marketers use Twitter to distribute content. In 2013, Twitter announced its intentions to build more robust lead generation tools into their platform. As of writing, Twitter’s lead generation cards are still proving their efficacy. Learn how this option may provide value to your brand. » For lead generation efforts, tweet out content that lives on your website or blog in order to drive traffic back to your site. » Strike a balance between links to content and conversational tweets. Twitter allows you to both distribute content and engage with your audience. » Humanize your brand by starting conversations, reach out to individuals and pose questions about the content you’re distributing. » Tweet often. The most widely followed Twitter accounts send an average of 22 tweets per day. (Hubspot) » Use hashtags and tag relevant people, brands and publishers in your tweets to increase engagement from related parties. » Abide by the 4-1-1 rule. For every one self-serving tweet, you should re-tweet one relevant tweet and most importantly, share four pieces of relevant content written by others. (Marketo) “Social media lead conversion rates are 13% higher than the average lead conversion rate.” — HubSpot
  • 15. © 2013 NewsCred 15 LinkedIn Linkedin is particularly effective for B2B content distribution. In fact, 83% of B2B marketers use LinkedIn to distribute content. Spotlight Microsoft not only promotes a variety of content on its rapidly updating LinkedIn page. It also includes product recommendations from users, an active tech support portal, and a Networking Group called “Be Future Ready,” for users who want to turn ideas into business solutions through technology. » Create your own LinkedIn group. It’s free and allows you to moderate discussion and post content in your specialty areas. » Share your most relevant, interesting content in other LinkedIn groups. » Be discerning about which content you share in which group. Not every group you are a member of will be interested in every piece of content you are pushing out. Consider your desired audience and post accordingly. » On your own company page, you can target specific updates to certain Linkedin members by role, industry, and company size. » Always engage. Reply to all comments on your posts and discussions » Use LinkedIn messages strategically. You can send free messages to members of your own network encouraging them to join your groups. 05 Organic Distribution
  • 16. © 2013 NewsCred 16 Google+ Since its launch, Google+ has garnered the second largest active follower-base after Facebook. Between this massive distribution network and ease of sharing, Google+ is an obvious choice for supplemental content distribution. Spotlight Mercedes-Benz maximizes Google+ by releasing regular updates, featuring a variety of content types. » Posting on Google+ results in improved search results on Google. Post actively in order to improve SEO. » Add the +1 button to your site. Websites with the +1 button generate 3.5x more Google+ visits than sites without. (Hubspot) 05 Organic Distribution
  • 17. © 2013 NewsCred 17 Pinterest This image-driven social platform sees 30 million unique monthly visitors and drives more traffic to websites and blogs than Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, or YouTube. Spotlight Jetsetter maximizes the visual component of Pinterest. By creating boards for all categories of travel including architecture, bucket list vacation spots, promotions, and quotes, Jetsetter differentiates its content and yet creates a rich, visual experience that entices viewers to click. Best Practices for Social Distribution 01 Don’t spread yourself too thin on social channels. Rather than tackling every platform, choose the few that work best for your brand, audience, and type of content. 02 Add social buttons to your site. This will provide more opportunities for audience engagement with your content. 03 Cross promote your content across your active social channels to improve social sharing and page views. » Pin images that link back to your site. The purpose of Pinterest is to engage users through visual content, so choose enticing images in order to drive traffic back to your site. » Include rich descriptions along with your pins. Consider discoverability when pinning content and use accurate descriptors to simplify search. » Keep SEO in mind when naming your images. Remember that your content is not only living on Pinterest but also on search engines all over the web. Using descriptive file names can improve your organic searchability. 05 Organic Distribution
  • 18. © 2013 NewsCred 18 Leveraging free content platforms Free content platforms, like YouTube and Slideshare, give brands the functionality distribute content to and engage with a built-in audience. These media platforms are quite different -- YouTube is suited for video content while Slideshare allows brands to publish presentation decks -- but both provide brands the opportunity to promote anything from thought leadership to events and campaigns. YouTube Considering that 46% of people say they’d be more likely to seek out information about a product or service after seeing it in an online video, it’s safe to say that video should play a role in every company’s content strategy. 70% of B2B marketers use some form of online video as part of their content marketing efforts. 05 Organic Distribution YouTube Best Practices 01 Upload all video assets. This will increase the chances of your content being found and shared by an engaged audience. 02 Give your videos searchable descriptions and tags. 03 Vary your content. Include how-to, case study, conference and event footage, and interview videos. 04 Include your website url in the video description to increase site traffic. 05 Embed your videos on your own website to make them more discoverable and create a richer experience. Slideshare 01 Make sure your title slide is easy to read and visually interesting. The truth is that people do judge a presentation by its cover, so make sure you appeal to your audience’s aesthetic right off the bat. 02 Optimize your Slideshare for SEO by including keyword-rich titles. 03 Promote your presentations across multiple social channels and your blog. 04 Repurpose your white papers and guides into Slideshare presentations. You can reach additional audiences by just changing the format of your content. For many businesses, Slideshare has become an integral part of their content distribution strategy. More than just a place to upload webinar slides and case study decks, Slideshare is a social communitywith 60 million monthly visitors who are ready to engage with your content. The key to Slideshare is creating content that is relevant or useful to your target audience.
  • 19. © 2013 NewsCred 19 Spotlight NewsCred produced a highly trafficked Slideshare presentation on the 50 Best Content Marketing Statistics. The presentation provided useful statistics about the value of content marketing that marketers could easily reference and use in their own business. The content, which was consolidated from many sources across the web was presented in an attractive, visual, and on- brand manner. NewsCred promoted the deck across multiple social platforms, which prompted viral sharing and over 120,000 views. To leverage the platform even further, the premium version of Slideshare offers a call-to-action form that can be applied to presentations. This enables marketers to use the platform for lead generation. 05 Organic Distribution
  • 20. © 2013 NewsCred 20 Crowdsourcing Crowdsourcing can play a pivotal role in content marketing and distribution, if done correctly. Leveraging the power of crowds can be effective for both large brands and companies with small budgets and few resources. Spotlight One successful crowdsourcing example was Bacardi’s “It Started With a Party” campaign to mark the company’s 150th birthday. The campaign, hosted on Talenthouse, asked individuals to create and upload videos with the “It Started With a Party” theme to show that Bacardi parties are always “catalysts that enable meaningful human connections.” Bacardi packed its website full of content about the historic rum company including example videos for contest participants to consume, gain inspiration, and emulate in their own creative submissions. The campaign ultimately served its goal of driving more traffic to the site, attracting new users, boosting the Bacardi brand, and gaining a wider distribution network. The key here was that in engaging its audience through participant submissions, Bacardi’s campaign encouraged social sharing . Participants and their friends would share their original videos living on the website and ultimately drive traffic back to Bacardi. 05 Organic Distribution
  • 21. © 2013 NewsCred 21 SEO Strategies SEO is the act of leveraging targeted keywords to ensure that your website or article can be found in search engines. SEO requires a combination of tactics to guarantee visits to your content. To secure a higher ranking in search engine results pages (SERP), it’s imperative to build Pagerank. Pagerank is the process that Google uses to determine the importance of a given website based on relevant keywords or phrases. The way to build Pagerank is to increase inbound links to your domain. Essentially, SEO helps search engines figure out what each page on the web contains, and how useful it might be to users. Best Practices 01 Determine the relevant keywords for the particular piece of content you are distributing and tag and title it accordingly. This means identifying the major themes and topics for your content. 02 Always use the desired keyword in the headline. 03 Include the keyword at least once near top of the content piece, within the first 100 words. 04 Use the keyword at least three times in the body copy. The amount of times the keyword should be referenced is relative to the length of the article. The longer the article, the more times you should use the keyword. 05 Try to focus your content around one keyword. Too many keywords will confuse the search engine and may trigger filters. 06 Try and build as many inbound links to your domain through content sharing, guest posting, and outreach. 05 Organic Distribution
