Check out the blog version here: http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content-marketing/content-marketing-personalization - I know you’re wondering “what the heck is content marketing personalization?” I promise I will get to that. But first, I want to tell you a brief story I am pretty certain you can relate to. I went to the doctor a few weeks back. He asked what line of work I was in. I told him I was in marketing. He said, “that’s like sales, right?” I told him “no.” That’s not what I do. After a pause, he said emphatically, “oh you help make those ads on TV that I hate.” I told him “no” again. I laughed a little. But then I struggled to explain to him exactly what it is that we do in marketing. I believe that we help businesses build relationships with new customers. We join the conversations around our topic that are already happening. Marketing is about conversations and building relationships. But I struggled to explain that to my doctor. Ask most people what marketing is, and they will tell you it is an ad. Or a billboard. Or the color of your logo. Marketing Today Is Broken Marketing cannot continue to be about ads. Ads we tune out. Ads we hate. Marketing Starts With Answering Why Marketing Must Focus On Customer Value "Customers" Means Real People The Metrics We Use Today Barely Scratch The Surface Deliver the right message to the right person at the right time? You would be a content marketing rockstar!!!

Editor's Notes
- The #1 questions we seeing from our customers
- Not only are we going to give you tips and tricks but also make it very practical
- If you don’t connect, you’re not relevant. Pulling from a unique ten year growth study involving 50,000 brands, Jim Stengel shows how the world's 50 best businesses—as diverse as Method, Red Bull, Lindt, Petrobras, Samsung, Discovery Communications, Visa, Zappos, and Innocent—have a cause and effect relationship between financial performance and their ability to connect with fundamental human emotions, hopes, values and greater purposes.
- Namely… the fundamental shift in the way we create, consume and share content. Every day, over 200 million pieces of content are shared. Over 400 million snapchats are sent. This sheer speed and scale of content creation and distribution has drastically changed from even a year or two ago.
- Ant that can be your brand
- We’re bombarded with over 5,000 marketing messages a day and yet…..90% of email is unopened… Do Not Call: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Do_Not_Call_Registry 86% skip TV: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/aug/24/tv-advertising 5,000 messages a day: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/15/business/media/15everywhere.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 Average email open rate is 9%: http://www.hubspot.com/marketing-statistics 42% direct mail: https://www.usps.com/business/promotions/direct-mail-brochure.pdf
- Core components the way we need to think. We need to think different.
- Today, our identity is defined by what we share. The way we project ourselves to the world is --- the sum of every tweet, like, share –– that’s who we are or who we want to be.
- We need to remember that…..
- These changes – across our industry and in the way we live our lives –– demand that we redefine the way we market. We need to go back to our roots, and put people at the center of everything that we do.
- And even more importantly, content has become core to who we are as individuals. Think about the way we live our lives – we’re always on, and always connected. We consume content at all hours of the day across every time of channel.
- Because we believe that behind all the marketing strategies and tactics that you’re deploying, marketing – at the most fundamental level – is about connecting with people.
- Being able to create content with creativity, with speed and at scale.

We need to have the courage to stand up to our executives and show what’s working and what’s not. Current state. Where are you currently? Budget – there’s enough of ineffective spend you can repurpose.
