"In order to succeed into today's competitive digital landscape, companies must leverage mobile enterprise technologies while engaging in social media cross-channel in agile content marketing blah blah blah."
Sorry, marketers. We can’t hear you, because we have collectively, actively stopped listening. Your ads, your overloaded websites, your sponsored content, your "infotainment series"—these are not the things we want or need. What we need, dear people, is for you to pause … and breathe. Stop treating every day like a fire drill. Momentarily ignore the shiny new trends. Instead, take a look at the things that are (still) fundamentally broken. Your message is splintered. Your teams are siloed. Your technology is backwards. Your content still sucks.
So let's sit down together and talk about a whole new world of marketing, one where pragmatism and principle drive a new kind of innovation: fixing what's actually broken, versus finding new things to break.
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.

Online Reputation and Influence - How to Create, Grow and Maintain Influence ...Jeff Bullas
We are living in a world where your reputation and influence is migrating from offline to online
Reputation is moving from local to global
It is also moving from fixed to mobile (smart phones and iPads)
Reputation and influence can be gained faster and broader than in any other time in history. But we are still used to the old paradigms and ideas of influence and reputation because “technology changes fast but humans evolve and change slowly”
In this presentation (which was the second Keynote at The BE-Wizard conference in Italy on March 16, 2012) we look at what is required to establish, grow and maintain your influence online. This presentation looks at the way personal brands such as celebrities, professionals and knowledge workers can establish themselves as thought leaders and experts globally. If you are a consultant, executive or professional this presentation will give you tips and tactics to win at your career and life
This eBook is the final of three from TopRank Marketing & Content Marketing World. Inside you'll find valuable advice from some of today's top marketers on the importance of content marketing measurement, and what you should be measuring now.
The power of content curation for inbound marketingScoop.it
Inbound marketing is definitely more efficient and appealing to the sophisticated modern customer than traditional interruptive outbound techniques. But for inbound marketing to work, you need to have its lifeblood: content. If ad dollars were driving demand of out reach campaigns, content is the fuel of outbound marketers. In short, content is king. And content is a complex and expensive king: how can you scale your content marketing so that you generate more leads? Learn how content curation is a great way to achieve ROI in inbound marketing strategies by enabling marketers to not only publish more content but to also publish better and more credible content:
- how content curation helps inbound marketers
- own vs 3rd-party content: which is good for what?
- ROI of content curation vs cotent creation: data from quantified studies.
- Case studies: SMBs, Non-Profit and Enterprise.
If you are practicing a short-sighted content marketing campaign and struggling to produce results, perhaps it’s time to take a step back and look at the big picture.
Loren Baker, Founder at SEJ and VP of Business Development & Co-founder at Foundation Digital, will let you in on how you can gain maximum SEO value – and more – through content.
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:
Did you know modern statistics state that you have 60 seconds or less to capture your audience’s attention?
You’ve might have heard it before, but maybe not in terms of presentations. It’s crucial to understand the importance of grasping an audience’s attention in the first moments of a talk. Your opening lines set the tone for your overall performance, so a great opener will prepare and intrigue the audience and ensure that your message is effectively received.
So, how do you enchant an audience right off the bat?

How to Avoid the Content Marketing Arms RaceSteve Radick
Remember when a content marketing plan might have consisted of a single blog post a week? With consumers constantly bombarded with news and content via an ever-expanding array of media and social platforms, brands have been pressed into a “content arms race” that has them posting to blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Vine, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. multiple times a day. They’re hiring teams of content strategists, creating social media war rooms, and even using automated content creation and curation platforms to feed the beast and improve their reach and engagement metrics. But how much of this activity actually serves a brand’s business goals? Or truly engages consumers?
