Visualizing Visual Content - Digital Summit Phoenix 2014Mike Corak
It doesn't take a research study to show that demand for engaging visual content is growing, both from consumers and marketers. Where consumer demand is high, brands are quick to follow as marketers adopt visually reliant communication platforms like YouTube, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Vine and more. Truth be told, for most brands, current libraries unfortunately lack the kinds of assets consumers are responding to, and marketers are challenged to meet quality expectations with quality content.

These higher expectations represent an opportunity for brands that are ready to take the challenge on. Learn in this session why visual content is worth investing in and get tips on how brands can strategically plan for and deploy exceptional experiences specifically designed to maximize value.

“Topics, not Keywords: How to Make Content Work for Brands with Google Hummingbird”
The presentation provides valuable insight as search engines move away from keywords and into semantics to find the best answer for a users’ inquiry.
The gist is that search evolution toward the semantic web is good news for content marketers in that the need for keyword-focused content is being replaced by thematic relevance and authority. Google is essentially catching up to what user-focused content should have always been.
The punch line is that future success in content marketing will be more dependent on system building than line-level content production and output. Create a centralized content strategy and integrated delivery systems to guide your content marketing efforts now.
Per the theme of the conference, one way content marketing creates value for customers is when its output is usable for both businesses and users. Unfortunately, what’s sometimes created is not usable content—it’s often a blog post developed to plug a missing SEO ranking for a keyword.
But what does result in something usable is when content is developed around a theme a brand is authentically authoritative on—coming from a true point of understanding user intent—and that the brand is proactively anticipating and creating content to be as useful and evergreen as possible.
All you have to do is ask yourself what kind of content would BEST fulfill users’ needs?

2. Bazen behin, Goimendi herri txiki batean bizi ziren bi lagun, Itziar eta Martin. Oso lagun minak ziren eta horregatik beti baserri loretsu batean ari ziren jolasten. Martinek begi urdinak zituen, ile leuna eta marroia. Oso bihurria zen baina bihotz onekoa. Itziarrek, ordea, ile kizkurra eta horia zeukan. Bera oso alaia zen eta normalean pozik ikusten zitzaion.
3. Egun batean, basora joan ziren hango animaliekin jolastera, eta konturatu gabe galdu egin ziren. Orduak pasa ondoren , zuhaitzen itzalen artean pausuak entzun zituzten eta bat-batean sorgin itsusi bat agertu zitzaien, Garratzutsoa izenekoa. Sorginak haurren adiskidetasuna ikustean inbidia sentitu zuen eta maldizio bat bota zien :ez zarete berriro lagunik izango !!!.
4. Sorgina desagertu bezain pronto, haurrak borrokatzen hasi ziren. Halako batean , beste lagun bat, Jon izenekoa, agertu zen ohiuak entzutean. Haren laguna itsua izan arren, bere herrian oso ospetsua zen ausarta zelako eta beti jendeari laguntzeko prest zegoelako. Jon beti bere txakurrarekin , Rex, joaten zen . Txakurrak lepoko magiko bat zeukan, hitz egiten uzten ziona, baina bakarrik Jonek etzun ahal zuen animaliak esaten zuena.
5. Jon eta Rex liburu magikoaren bila joan ziren. Rexek, zuhaitz guztiak usaintzen ari zen bitartean, bat-batean liburutegi bat ikusi zuen. Sorgin eskola bat zela konturatu ziren sartu bezain pronto. Sorginek beraiek ez ikusteko ziztu bizian izkutatu ziren armairu baten atzean, baina, sorgin gazte eta polit bat agertu zen eta galdetu zien: -Zer egiten duzue hemen? -“Adiskidetasunaren diamante liburua” bilatzen ari gara. -Zergatik?-galdetu zuen sorginak. -Nire lagunak borrokatzen ari dira sorgin baten erruz, haiek oso lagun mina ziren lehen. -Ez kezkatu!. Nik lagunduko dizuet. Sorginak liburu magikoa hartu zuen eta beraiekin joan zen.
6. Basora heldu eta Martin eta Itziar lotan zeudela ikusi zuten. Sorginak liburu magikoa irekitzean diamante distiratsu bat atera eta esan zuen: -Hiru desio emango dizkizuet. Orduan, Jonek, Itziarren eta Martinen betirako adiskidetasuna, Garatsutx sorgin maltzur hori ona izatea eta… eskatu zituen. Rex berriro zaunka hasi zen : -Jon, Jon, eskatu zure ikusmena ona izatea! -Ez naiz ausartzen- erantzun zion Jonek. Baina, sorginak, bi lehenengo desio emateaz gain, Jon hain pertsona ona zela ikustean , haren ikusmena berriro eman zion. Martín eta Itziar esnatu zirenean konturatu ziren berriro lagun mina zirela eta, gainera, Jonek primeran ikusten zuela. Hala bazan edo ez bazan sar dadila kalabaza Kueto plazan .
