Learnings to win at (content) marketing
Here’s the presentation in a soundbite – not a tweet for those that know
me!
1. We live in an attention economy.
2. You must ‘show, not tell’.
3. Data underpins your entire owned and earned play
4. Emotional territory insights power your broader marketing activity
5. Content enables you to win hearts and minds – more effective and profitable than solely
functional.
However, if we had to pick the most important one it’s ‘be perpetually focused on your
customer and their needs’.
