Case Study: Content to Conversion: Is Your Content Driving the Right Path?
Content has become the catalyst for audience engagement, and the role of earned media in driving organizational success has been strengthened as a result. However, in this rush to content being "king", we have begun to lose sight on what we want that content created to achieve. At the outset of any campaign one must ask; what is the conversion metric we hope to attain to build awareness and spark action. Be it views, shares, sales; that metric is the key to any content marketing strategy. As your brand (whether B2C, B2B, or Non-profit) provides context around the conversation, we have to ask how your strong and compelling content is driving your desired outcomes.

From One to a Million: Managing Social Media at ScaleDave Fleet
What if you had to re-examine your assumptions around social media? What if, instead of thinking about conversations in ones and twos, you had to think about them in thousands and tens of thousands? What if you had to manage dozens or hundreds of properties, and millions of fans? What would change?

Deck from the webcast I presented with the American Marketing Association (AMA) and ThisMoment on March 19, 2015.
What is “connected content?”
We are witnessing a shift in the way marketing organizations are creating customer value through their content. If harnessed properly, a single piece of content, connected to relevant publishing, CRM and analytics tools, can have unprecedented impact across the Enterprise.
From 1-to-many brand campaigns to 1-to-1 communications, the most innovative companies today are successfully extending their content strategies beyond traditional brand and social channels and into the heartbeat of communications with customers across all Enterprise channels.
Takeaways:
Insight into recent research on connected content
How technology enables connected content across the organization
How brands can view content holistically, beyond the single post or tweet and use it beyond brand marketing and across the enterprise
Report content marketing performanceContent Marketing Performance: A Framewor...Rebecca Lieb
Despite a surge in adoption of content marketing and of organizational content strategy, measuring the impact of content on the business is complex and fraught with strategic, organizational and tool challenges. Because the content and analytics markets are still fairly nascent, there are few to no standards that adequately capture the impact of content on the business, whether from a reputation, revenue, operational or brand perspective.
Content strategists and digital marketers struggle to select the right metrics and frequently opt for measuring volume rather than impact when impact metrics are too complex to measure, or the required data or tools are not available.
This report lays out a framework for measuring the impact of content across the business, and includes a set of case studies and recommended metrics to enable content strategists to approach measurement at the outset, rather than at the conclusion, of their content development initiatives.
Connected Experiences: From Websites to Wearables to WhateverRebecca Lieb
Harnessing digital connections to foster deeper human connections is the highest opportunity of bridging the digital & physical worlds. How marketing is evolving to create connected customer experiences, the risks and rewards to marketers of doing so, and how to start the journey.
Companies that evangelize, reinforce, and institutionalize the importance of content throughout and beyond the marketing organization are more successful not only across their marketing initiatives but also with other internal and external success benchmarks, such as sales, employee advocacy, customer service, audience engagement, thought leadership, and hiring.
When content becomes an ingrained element of an enterprise’s culture, the culture functions like a well-oiled engine, producing, circulating, and begetting content, creating numerous efficiencies in the process.
Based on my research report, co-authored with Jessica Groopman for Altimeter Group.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

**Mainframe screen shot links to YouTube video for playing during presentation.An excerpt from David Meerman Scott’s book, The New Rules of Viral Marketing: The multi-episode The Art of the Sale is a terrific spoof on corporate training videos. Until the end of the video, you don’t even know who produced it. Hundreds of thousands of people have watched the series, humanizing a large company in the process.“We did an internal video in 2004 for our sales meeting,” says Tim Washer, manager of new media web video at IBM Communications. “It was the key things that people needed to know in 2005, but it also included some laughter. It went really well and people liked it, so in summer 2006 I asked the VP of communications if we could make some videos for external use.”Washer and his colleagues at IBM produced the entire video series in-house. “We wanted the videos to make sense for broad sales and corporate audiences,” he says. “Many people have seen The Office, so they get the concept of a ‘mockumentary.’ We wrote the scripts and cast the actors—all are IBMers, including the series star, Bob Hoey, who really is the vice president of worldwide sales for System Z, the IBM Mainframe. Lessons one, two, and three were all shot in just a day-and-a-half at our IBM offices.” The first three episodes came out in August 2006. Washer put them onto YouTube and linked to them from the IBM mainframe blog. “We originally sent the video to friends in a very informal way,” Washer says. “We also included it in one of the IBM newsletters to the sales team, and that helped it to go viral. Then some bloggers picked it up and pushed it along some more.” Washer wasn’t surprised when the videos started to take off via word-of-mouth. “Humor always works,” he says. “These videos are self-deprecating humor. There are often a lot of barriers to doing this kind of thing within organizations, but to be successful it is critical that this not be done by committee. We’re lucky because IBM is big on trusting employees, and they trusted us to do something that would work. The self-deprecation softens the image of IBM with many people—it puts a human face on IBM because we can laugh at ourselves.”Some of the ways that these The Art of the Sale videos have spread virally have been surprising to Washer. “Our first series was selected as one of Comedy Central’s ‘Staff Favorites,’” he says. “We even got requests from other large companies, such as Price Waterhouse, to show our videos at their sales conferences!”

Sales are a criterion when new apps are considered for development at GE, but utility matters just as much, as does speed-to-market. As far as GE is concerned, the time to develop apps for customers is now, before the wow factor wears off and while the company can still impress customers with an app's added value. Ease-of-use is also key. One app, geared to engineers in the field, is avilable on the iPhone, but also on the iPad. Why? "Because engineers wear gloves."Transformers: This colorful and vivid app allows customers, GE sales teams, and field service engineers to remotely monitor and diagnose GE transformers and transformer stations that supply electricity to homes and business around the country. The real-time sensor data helps improves efficiency and problem solving, which benefits both GE and its customers.
Personas: The archetype characters that represent the varying segments of a target audience.Iron Mountain key services: Information Management; Data Protection and Recovery; Information DestructionIron Mountain's marketing team found that its product development priorities were driven more by advancements in technology than by customer challenges and pain points. To help remedy this — and therefore increase product differentiation and fit — visionary product marketing managers created personas that helped them understand the goals, attitudes, and behaviors of both institutional buyers and end users of their products. These personas have helped to create a shared vision of users among disparate stakeholders and to improve email marketing campaign responses by up to 300%. Technology product management and marketing professionals interested in emulating Iron Mountain's persona success should make sure their personas are based on sound fundamentals, focus on one project at a time, and get stakeholder buy-in early to promote persona use throughout the organization.Sources:http://www.forrester.com/rb/Research/case_study_iron_mountain_uses_personas_for/q/id/47050/t/2 http://topliners.eloqua.com/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/1663-102-2-2110/Persona%20Development.pdf

An editorial calendar establishes what content will be created when, in what format, and for which content channel. A digital editorial calendar also tracks the connections for that content, including how the content will be repurposed and amplified in social media channels.The editorial calendar should contain a list of all content approved for publication. It should address the questions: how much content, how often, and specifically when it will publish. It includes content requirements, responsibilities and a schedule.Source of editorial calendar example: http://www.findandconvert.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/editorial-calendar-sample.png
Most organizations with a marketing department have already created this (usually one-page-long) description of the corporate brand.
Notice how Nokia’s Style Guide encourages writing with a human, rather than a technical, tone of voice to make communications warmer and more understandable. Providing examples such as these is always a great idea in a style guide, rather than broader abstractions that are open to misinterpretation.

Corning produced a corporate video for shareholders extolling the near-future of high-tech consumer products made of glass. Entitled, “A Day Made of Glass,” the six-minute video (that’s a very long running time on the Internet!) was shown in early 2011 at an investor event. Less than six weeks later, it was the most-watched corporate video of all time, with 8 million YouTube views and climbing (and a great example of recycling content assets).
