How To Attract People That Actually Want To Buy From YouMichael Brenner
How can your marketing attract people that actually want to buy from you? It starts with understanding the real impact digital has had on publishers, on marketing, and on us as consumers.
Content marketing has emerged to combat these challenges. But what's the ROI? And how can you use content marketing to attract the right audience?
In this presentation, I provide the tips and tricks to help you reach, engage, and convert new buyers to your business.
At the Marketo #MKTGNation Summit I delivered this call to action for today's marketers: do the stuff that matters and that has an impact on the business. Why? Because so much of marketing is ineffective. One reason content marketing has become such a buzzword today is simply because it can be measured. And those who commit to measuring it, see returns on their investment that are often many times higher than the average ROI of marketing. Check this presentation out to learn 10 Formulas ANY business can use to measure the ROI of content marketing and never waste money again

The Content Marketing Imperative - Internet Week #IWNY and OMMA Native #MPOMMAMichael Brenner
The Content Marketing Imperative #MPOMMA #IWNY
This was one of the key stats that really seemed to resonate with the audience I spoke to this morning at #MPOMMA #IWNY.
I was thrilled to kick off the day as the opening keynote. And although I was competing with the mayor of NY, Bill de Blasio on another #IWNY stage, the audience filled the Media Post Theater at OMMA Native #MPOMMA.
My job was to set the stage for the discussion on Native Advertising.
I asked “Why are we talking about Native Advertising?” And the answer is because digital, social and mobile access has changed the world. Marketing has become highly ineffective because consumers can now tune us out.
What do they tune in to? Stories. Stories that connect on a human and emotional basis.
I also provided an overview of the journey we’ve taken and some of the native advertising we’ve tested.
Check out my slides here:
Brands used to be only for businesses. And we, the employees, were expected to uphold and support the principles of the brand. Some of us in marketing were even lucky enough to help our businesses build their brands.
But as trust has eroded away from corporations and government institutions, we are seeing the ushering in of a new era: the employee-brand.
What’s great about PPC is that you only pay when someone clicks on your ad. The bad news is that you are paying for every click, and this can get expensive — scary-expensive!
Check out these webinar slides as we share 13 Scary-Good Ways to Lower Your Cost Per Click in Google & Facebook Ads. You’ll learn:
- Average CPCs in 2021 for the top five PPC platforms.
- 13 platform-specific tips to lower your CPC.

Inbound Marketing: Your Competitive AdvantageHubSpot
Want to create marketing campaigns that your audience will love? Thousands of companies in the UK are using inbound marketing to help crush their competition. If your marketing strategy hasn't taken account of buyers' new habits -- or depends on renting attention -- you may soon discover you are one of the companies being crushed.
I've been asked by many people both individuals, small businesses and organizations on what would l recommend for an individual's first 90 days in a new role. While this is a difficult question to answer, the important part is that you have a plan and that you realize it is a living document because there are no hard and fast rules. Here is a compilation of what l suggest may be a good starting point for anyone looking to accelerate understanding and change in a new role.
Content marketing is about change. You know you need to do it, to measure it and to show ROI. In this presentation at #CMWorld, I show you how to build the business case for content marketing. How to find the budget. And how to show real marketing ROI to the executives who demand it.
http://marketinginsidergroup.com/content-marketing/best-content-marketing-hub-examples/
One of the best way to show a business the importance of content marketing is to show them all the great examples of companies who are already doing it right.
- Imagine you own the website for the generic category searches your customers use like L'Oreal's Makeup.com
- Imagine you own the digital destination for your target persona like Adobe CMO.com
- Imagine your content marketing hub is the largest source of leads for your business like American Express OPEN Forum
I think it often helps businesses, who might need that little push into content marketing, to see what others are doing.
What Is Your Favorite Content Marketing Hub?
This list came from my constant desire to learn from others, to recognize those who are creating great content, to inspire those who are looking to build their own best-practice content marketing program, and to help you see what approaches other companies are taking,
You will see a mix of B2B and Consumer brands. You will see a mix of on-domain and off-domain content hubs. You will see examples from companies large and small. You will see examples of brands that include some direct conversions and some that are only looking to build awareness.
99 Amazing Content Marketing Examples . . .
Check out the blog post on the importance of building your content marketing destination:
http://marketinginsidergroup.com/content-marketing/content-marketing-destination/
A content hub is a valuable way of interacting with your customers and connecting them with information, ideas, images, and stories. Once you have this content to pass along, you need a place to house it all. Somewhere that is capable of handling a constant feed of new content, from a variety of sources, covering a variety of topics, while still looking aesthetically pleasing and functioning so well that a customer will want to spend hours browsing what it has to offer.
This isn’t an easy task, but one that will be simplified and attainable after reading this guide. The guide is split into four sections, two dealing with your main hub page and two dealing with your specific article page. For both page types the guide is split into a form and function section. Form being your most basic layout, the pieces you need for the page and how to handle them stylistically. Function guides you through how a user will experience each page and the added elements to help improve this experience.
Each suggestion is analyzed on its own page and is accompanied by a screenshot of a site that demonstrates the topic. If you want to explore the entirety of the site, you can click the magnifying glass in the upper left corner of the screenshot on each example page to launch the full site on your browser.

How Do You Create Content Marketing That Converts?
There’s been a fundamental shift in the way marketers and customers create, consume, and share content. Every day, billions of photos are uploaded, tweets are posted, snapchats are sent, and pieces of content are shared.
As marketers, we need to consider how our customers are consuming content and where, when, and how to engage them.
A content marketing strategy should be designed to engage your audience throughout the buyer’s journey. Producing relevant content for each lifecycle stage and delivering it at the right time and place is crucial to successful content marketing.
I really enjoyed presenting "How To Create Content That People Actually Want" because so much of the content we create is wanted by no one. Promotion. Propaganda. Tech Sheets. Brochures. Talking head videos.
http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content-marketing/how-to-make-content-real-good-slides
I like challenging marketing and communications people to dream bigger, to create content people might even love to consumer and content they love to create. I enjoy showing them examples of how to do it.
Content Marketing Personalization: Build Relationships At ScaleMichael Brenner
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!!!
How To Plan And Build A Successful Content Marketing StrategyMichael Brenner
http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content-marketing/plan-build-successful-content-marketing-strategy -- Did you know that every day on the internet:
There are 4.75 Billion pieces of content shared
There are 1.8 Billion photos uploaded
There are 700 Million Snapchats
There are 500 Million tweets
Marketing, as we know it, is being transformed right in front of our eyes. More and more messages are being promoted every day, on more channels, and as a result, consumers are learning to simply tune out the noise.
Because of this, brands must leverage content marketing to deliver the useful information necessary to educate and build trust with their audiences. But they often fail to document what they are trying to achieve, how they will get it done, and what measures will prove success.
Yesterday I presented to more than 600 attendees of the NewsCred #ThinkContent Webinar: "How To Plan And Build A Successful Content Marketing Strategy." I presented:
The key factors for content marketing success
The core components of a content marketing strategy
I answered the main questions of how to build a solid content marketing strategy
I shared my secret that effective content marketing was relatively simple:
"The buyer journey is nothing more than a series of questions that must be answered." ~ IDC
I shared the Content Marketing Institute's more formal definition of content marketing:
“Content marketing is the marketing and business process for creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action.” ~ Content Marketing Institute
And I shared the rallying cry for why we need to change:
"We have to stop interrupting what people are interested in, and be what people are interested in." ~ Craig Davis (former Chief Creative Office - J. Walter Thompson)
Backed by research and our own customer engagements, I covered
The 6 factors to content marketing success:
Document content strategy
Have someone in charge of content
Consistently publish quality content
Map content to buyer journey
Balance Paid, Owned, Earned Media
Track Content Marketing ROI
I provided an example and a template for anyone to develop:
Your Content Marketing Mission Statement
Become a destination for [target audience] interested in [topics]. To help them [customer value].
This will help us [your content marketing goals]
Earn your audience’s attention vs. just buying it
Reach, engage and convert NEW buyers
AmEx Open Forum Example: Help Small Businesses Do More Business. To become the largest source of inbound leads.
I provided spreadsheets to help anyone conduct a content audit and measure their content marketing results:
http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content-marketing/content-marketing-word-year
Last week I presented on a NewsCred webinar on the future of content marketing. I talked about how marketing has always used great storytelling to connect with people.
I talked about how we are becoming a much more visual society, scanning information for the details we need in less than a second.
I used some stats and research and graphs to show that content marketing is all the marketing that's left. And my focus for the future of content marketing was for brands to be:
Informative
Visual
Shareable (and snackable, consumable, digestible, and always-on)
Entertaining
But I don't think any of these should be content marketing word of the year! I just know that your audience wants stories, not ads. And I hope to help you give it them!
So check out the presentation above
http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content-marketing/content-marketing-marketing-left
Stories have helped us connect with our fellow human beings since the dawn of time. But as we have evolved, each new communication platform creates opportunities and challenges, especially for brands.
Brands have learned that promoting themselves doesn't work. Ultimately it's the stories that allow brands to connect with their audience. The future of marketing is extreme customer-centricity.
Brands have to stop promoting themselves and create content that people actually want to consumer. The future of marketing will see more brands acting like publishers. This is more than a cliche. It means brands will start delivering content people want. And driving engagement and conversions.
As content consumers, we react more quickly and with deeper connection to headlines that engage us with curiosity and wit. The future of marketing uses the words we use when searching online and drives action with engaging headlines.
The world is overflowing with more information than any of us could ever dream of consuming. But "a picture is worth a thousand words." The future of marketing is more visual as brands follow traditional media publishers into visual content production. Brands will hire photographers, designers, reporters and videographers in addition to journalists.
The term "real-time marketing" is a myth. It is an over-simplification of the complexity of the modern world and how brands need to act in order to stay relevant. We are always-on and always-connected. The "campaign brain" no longer fits the world we live in. Campaigns that provide short-term bumps of engagement do not provide the return that marketing investment requires.
Brands cannot determine when and where lightning will strike. And so the future of marketing will see marketing leaders creating a culture of continuous always-on content production.
Social media is not a strategy. It is one of the channels we use to consume content and connect with people. It is the evolution of what started with the dawn of the internet and the move to digital, mobile and cloud-based systems of communications. These are just the pipes. Content is the fuel.
In order to be effective in the future, brands must create branded content hubs to attract their own audiences. The future of marketing is owned media and branded content hubs, driving social engagement that fuels paid distribution.

Monthly Social Media News Update May 2024Andy Lambert
TL;DR. These are the three themes that stood out to us over the course of last month.
1️⃣ Social media is becoming increasingly significant for brand discovery. Marketers are now understanding the impact of social and budgets are shifting accordingly.
2️⃣ Instagram’s new algorithm and latest guidance will help us maintain organic growth. Instagram continues to evolve, but Reels remains the most crucial tool for growth.
3️⃣ Collaboration will help us unlock growth. Who we work with will define how fast we grow. Meta continues to evolve their Creator Marketplace and now TikTok are beginning to push ‘collabs’ more too.
