Act-On Best Practices
for Email Delivery Best Practices for Creating a Content Marketing Strategy Best Practices for Creating a Content Marketing Strategy Executive Summary A content marketing strategy doesn’t create itself—it’s the result of careful planning, strategizing and execution. As Social Media and Content Strategist at Babcock & Jenkins Carmen Hill explains: “Whether it’s a targeted campaign or comprehensive program, you need to plant a strong foundation of content that attracts prospects at every stage of the buyer’s journey, seeding awareness and nurturing “Whether it’s a ongoing interest.” targeted campaign or comprehensive program, To get a comprehensive overview of the most effective content you need to plant a strong marketing strategies, we held an online discussion with some of the foundation of content best and brightest thought leaders, including Marketing Interactions’ Ardath Albee, DocuSign’s Meagen Eisenberg, Heinz Marketing’s Matt that attracts prospects at Heinz, and The Funnelholic’s Craig Rosenberg. What we learned every stage of the buyer’s is guaranteed to help all marketers develop and deploy appropriate journey. (Hill)” strategies for content across all channels and lead lifecycles. The —Carmen Hill, topics we covered are below; answers have been edited for brevity. Babcock & Jenkins Checklist 1. Secure executive sponsorship. 2. Understand your customer to target your content marketing efforts. 3. Create an editorial calendar. 4. Extend the life of your content by repurposing. 5. Evaluate capabilities and resources, then develop a process for measuring and reporting. 6. Develop an array of content across multiple channels. 7. Don’t just create content, curate it as well. Best Practices for Creating a Content Marketing Strategy 1. Secure executive sponsorship. Effective, long-term content marketing programs cannot operate as “skunk works” projects, done on the sidelines between other priority projects. Even though a significant portion of content marketing efforts can be executed without significant out-of-pocket expenses, the Copyright 2012 © Act-On Software. All rights reserved. 1

for Email Delivery Best Practices for Creating a Content Marketing Strategy lack of budget requirements should not equate to letting the program run under the radar. Rather, work with your VP of “The best content Marketing or CMO to make content marketing a high-visibility marketing programs in priority for the organization as a whole. Ensure that the broader the market today focus leadership team understands why it’s important and what intently on customer value it will provide to existing, prioritized key business metrics. priorities, problems and (Heinz) needs.” —Matt Heinz, Gain C-Level buy-in. You need executive backing to fund and Heinz Marketing source a content strategy. You also need the support to ensure there is enough commitment to see a content marketing strategy through. Results will not be instantaneous. Think about the length of your sales cycle. (Albee) 2. Understand your customer to target your content marketing efforts. Start by mapping your sales cycle to the buying cycle. The typical buying cycle flow follows: need, learn, evaluate (trial), negotiate, purchase, implement and advocate. I would set up a spreadsheet with the first row highlighting the buyer’s journey. Below that I would put the definition by stage, followed by the gates that marketing and sales has to get through to get them to the next stage. I would then map the tools and resources below each stage to achieve the next stage, such as case studies, whitepapers, videos, demos, etc. Finally I would put the named assets with actual links. You will start to see very quickly where you have available content and what you need to build out for your content marketing strategy. (Eisenberg) The content elements you produce cannot be solely a product of your internal ideas, opinions and priorities. The best content marketing programs in the market today focus intently on customer priorities, problems and needs. The more you understand and address the customer in your content, the more likely your content will be attractive to direct consumers as well as more viral to their networks. (Heinz) Build buyer insight. This means buyer personas, or some version of them that works for you. You need to know what your target segment’s objectives and orientation are and what obstacles they may encounter that could derail the deal. This is also when you should involve sales and customers in the process. Interview some of each to learn about what sales is hearing on the street and what buyers truly experienced.

Instead, persona it addresses, which question it answers, and which you want to create stage of the buying process it will serve. This allows you to infrastructure and process identify gaps where new content will need to be developed or that allows you to create point out which content will need to be refreshed, reinvented or content consistently over retired. (Albee) time.” —Craig Rosenberg, Don’t let product marketing take over—Amex Open Forum The Funnelholic is the model for you. They create content their buyers want to read, but they aren’t trying to sell you credit cards in the content. Focus on “who” you’re buyer is, and create content that is meaningful to them. (Rosenberg) 3. Create an editorial calendar. Develop an editorial calendar; this is your execution plan. It should include the content strategy you designed as well as everything else. This overview also provides you the opportunity to determine how to integrate everything into a cohesive story for execution, and how to connect the dots. (Albee) You will have plenty of serendipitous content opportunities, based on real-time news and activities in your market and with your customers. But every good content marketing program begins with a carefully planned, proactive editorial calendar. This calendar should enumerate the constant, customer-centric themes you want your readers, viewers and listeners to see. It should also provide a tentative outline of when different pieces of content will publish, on what platform, and which syndication and social channels it will be distributed through. You won’t follow this calendar verbatim, but if it exists up front you’ll be far more consistent and successful at publishing the content you need, and generating the results you want. Here’s a good starting point for an editorial calendar template you can use. (Heinz) Cadence is critical. Remember, marketers today need to act like publishers. Publishers create content in a consistent, timely fashion. Creating a whitepaper is not a strategy. Instead, you want to create infrastructure and process that allows you to create content consistently over time. Similar to a television program, people will begin to expect new content from you, and that is good. (Rosenberg) Copyright 2012 © Act-On Software. All rights reserved. 3

Act-On Best Practices

After putting the time and energy into a fantastic webinar, for “Follow ‘The Rule of 5.’ example, convert it into a video and publish it on your This is Ardath Albee’s rule, YouTube channel. Post the presentation deck on SlideShare. and I have been repeating Pay for a transcription and make an edited PDF of the audio it for years. Creating track available.

Creating lots of content is hard, your life easier and allows but taking one idea and creating multiple pieces of content you to scale..” from it makes your life easier and allows you to scale. Here is —Craig Rosenberg, an example: This Q&A stream can be used for a whitepaper, The Funnelholic blog post, chapter in an e-book, slide preso... (Rosenberg) 5. Evaluate capabilities and resources, then develop a process for measuring and reporting. Take a look at everything you’ll need to do to execute the strategy you’ve created. Do you have enough resources, as well as the capabilities to execute? Do you have enough budget? And don’t forget about everything else on your plate or in development. Set expectations appropriately. A content strategy is a long-term approach that will gain momentum over time. It’s not a three-month campaign with three touches and a sales call. This is where you must develop your KPIs and present a process for measuring and reporting on progress that’s tied to creating business value. (Albee) Even though it’s not always direct-response to a sale, your content marketing program is driving a wider pipeline, greater nurture and conversion potential, and accelerating the volume of opportunities throughout the wider sales and marketing pipeline that can turn into sales and revenue for the business. Be very specific about what these measures are, both in the short-term as leading indicators that you’re on the right track, and, more importantly, in the long-term to demonstrate the expected financial impact of the program. Better yet, demonstrate that financial impact relative to other/current programs that may be more costly. In most organizations, decreasing costs and increasing profit margin are at least as important as growing sales and revenue. An effective content marketing program can do both. Make sure you point that out and measure it over time. (Heinz) Copyright 2012 © Act-On Software. All rights reserved. 4

for Email Delivery Best Practices for Creating a Content Marketing Strategy 6. Develop an array of content across multiple channels. Avoid falling into the trap of only publishing printed content, “Take the time to or focusing entirely on your blog. Take the time to understand understand which channels which channels and formats your customers prefer or gravitate and formats your customers toward most, and diversify how and where you publish to prefer or gravitate toward extend your reach. Video in particular tends to be one of the most, and diversify how most underutilized content platforms for many organizations, and where you publish to in part because companies overthink the sophistication and extend your reach.” production value of a great video. Great content still plays well —Matt Heinz even if it’s presented via a webcam atop your monitor. (Heinz) Heinz Marketing Inspired by my experience as a gardener, I like to plan content the way I do a colorful container or flower bed, with a balanced mix of thrillers, fillers and spillers. Thrillers are the rock stars—the pieces that are valuable enough to attract your audience and motivate them to learn more. For example, you might conduct a survey of industry peers and publish the results in a white paper or e-book. That same research can then be chunked into smaller pieces or used to connect your audience to deeper levels of consideration content. Fillers may not command center stage, but they are essential elements that build on the featured attraction, connecting it to other assets and holding attention over time. Every B2B content collection needs a foundation of content that covers industry trends and best practices, customer stories, ROI/TCO information—and yes, tech specs and benefits. Spillers are the compelling tidbits that people want to pass along to colleagues, social networks—or even their boss. Spill- worthy content could be an entertaining video, a practical checklist, an interesting infographic or a newsworthy tweet— anything that can be easily snipped and shared. (Hill) 7. Don’t just create content, curate it as well. You don’t have a monopoly on great content for your customers and prospects, nor should you. There’s enormous value in not only producing original content, but curating “best of” content from across the Web. None of us have enough time to read all the sources of great content at our disposal today—magazines, newsletters, blog feeds, etc. If you serve as an editor for your followers, someone who reads more of the great content and filters the Copyright 2012 © Act-On Software.
