Findings of our first annual survey on healthcare technology markets
Paddy Padmanabhan
CEO, Damo Consulting Inc
Follow me @paddypadmanabha
The battle for attention in technology B2B markets is
playing out in content marketing strategies. In today’s
market, technology buyers are choosing to conduct
online research on potential technology providers till
well into the evaluation stages of a buying cycle
before engaging with sales people.
A majority (60%) of healthcare tech firms are investing in thought
leadership content.
Rising above the noise and clutter in the market is a top priority for
content marketers. Content needs are also exploding as marketers try to
deliver personalized content across buyer personas and buying
journeys.
However, the ability to produce thought leadership content with
consistently high quality, and doing it at scale, is a challenge for most
organizations. Content marketing teams are not adequately staffed, and
the purpose of content seems to be focused more on near-term pipeline
growth than on longer-term brand-building.
These are some of the findings from our first annual survey of content
marketing in healthcare B2B tech.
We hope you find this report useful.
Technology firms are turning to content marketing
strategies to improve engagement with clients and
prospects.

Lead generation (62.9%) is by far the #1 objective for content
marketing, followed by brand building (22.9%). Only a small
percentage (14.2%) are using content marketing to upsell or
cross-sell new services.

A majority of respondents (65.7%) are using leads generated to
measure the success of their content marketing efforts. Social

A little over half (54.3%) of the respondents are spending between
10% and 30% of their marketing budget on content creation. A
good 22.9 % are spending 30% or more. The amount an
organization spends on content creation, as a percentage of their
marketing budget, seems to be independent of the company size.

Healthcare tech firms do not seem to spend much on paid
promotions. Nearly half of the respondents (48.6%) indicate they
spend less than 10% of their content marketing budget on paid
promotions.

Over 60% of respondents say budgets for content marketing will

more, and a small number (5.7%) indicating an increase of 50% or
more. However, for a significant number (40%) content marketing
budgets will stay flat or decrease.

Most of the content is developed in-house (49% or more). Of the
content types that are outsourced, content marketers in
healthcare are looking for help with thought leadership content
(53%) and research surveys (53%).
14.7% of healthcare organizations outsource over 75% of their
thought leadership content and research surveys.

Quality (54.3%) of content is the biggest challenge for most
marketers in content development, followed by quantity(40.0%).
This suggests a lack of organizational maturity in the content
marketing function, and a lack of scalability on content
development.

About a two-third respondents (57.1%) either do not have a
dedicated content marketing team or have less than three team
members. While tech firms plan to increase spend on content
marketing, the small team sizes could explain the challenges
around quality and scalability in content development.

Healthcare b2b Tech Content Marketing Survey 2017

  • 1. CONTENT MARKETING AND THE BATTLE FOR ATTENTION Email: info@damoconsulting.net Website: www.damoconsulting.net Address: Damo Consulting Inc, 1000 Jorie Blvd #200, Oak Brook, IL 60523 Phone: (630) 928-1111 Ext. 204 + + + + Findings of our first annual survey on healthcare technology markets
  • 2. Paddy Padmanabhan CEO, Damo Consulting Inc Follow me @paddypadmanabha The battle for attention in technology B2B markets is playing out in content marketing strategies. In today’s market, technology buyers are choosing to conduct online research on potential technology providers till well into the evaluation stages of a buying cycle before engaging with sales people. A majority (60%) of healthcare tech firms are investing in thought leadership content. Rising above the noise and clutter in the market is a top priority for content marketers. Content needs are also exploding as marketers try to deliver personalized content across buyer personas and buying journeys. However, the ability to produce thought leadership content with consistently high quality, and doing it at scale, is a challenge for most organizations. Content marketing teams are not adequately staffed, and the purpose of content seems to be focused more on near-term pipeline growth than on longer-term brand-building. These are some of the findings from our first annual survey of content marketing in healthcare B2B tech. We hope you find this report useful. Technology firms are turning to content marketing strategies to improve engagement with clients and prospects. paddy@damoconsulting.net March 05, 2017 Paddy Padmanabhan Sincerely, 2
