In 2013, Content Marketing Institute released its first Content Marketing Framework. At the time, its purpose was to serve as a high-level view of the principles that govern the world of brand storytelling. Since then, CMI has worked with more than 100 brands, helping them put these core principles into practice. These partnerships have taught us a lot about which parts of the framework worked, which didn’t, and where we still needed to provide greater clarity and transparency. To reflect the insights we gained – as well as the many shifts that have occurred across the entire digital ecosystem – we’ve streamlined our original discussion, and have added a distinct new process model to each node. What follows is our redesigned Content Marketing Framework.

El marketing de contenido ha dado a las pequeñas empresas la oportunidad de editar y publicar sus propias noticas y contenidos. Se ha nivelado el terreno de juego entre las empresas pequeñas y las grandes debido a que ahora es asequible para todos publicar y curar contenido. Sin embargo, el desafío que enfrentan muchas empresas, por lo general, es encontrar tiempo y desarrollar la mentalidad necesaria para crear un flujo constante de información nueva y relevante.
En el pasado, hacíamos conjeturas sobre el tipo de contenido necesario para las empresas pero esta estrategia está basada en un enfoque de ensayo y error, conduciendo a la creación de contenido que sólo es leído por unas pocas personas.
Para alcanzar el éxito es necesario agregar valor. ¿Cómo? Elaborando contenido que ayude a su cliente ideal a solucionar sus problemas y desafíos típicos. Como resultado, su empresa se convertirá en un referente, demostrando autoridad sobre el asunto en cuestión.

How to Rock Content Marketing in the Age of 'Content Shock'Carmen Hill
Business communicators have been doing content marketing, in one way or another, since we’ve been doing marketing. But digital technologies and social media have changed the game. We’re now under pressure to produce, distribute and measure more content, more often on more platforms than ever before. Our content isn’t just vying for attention with the other guy’s white paper; it’s competing with cute kittens and screaming goats. And even though businesses are dedicating about a third of their marketing budgets to content, most of us still don’t have enough time or resources to keep up. In this presentation for the Omaha, Nebraska IABC Communicators Camp, Carmen Hill shares the latest content marketing trends, along with ideas for focusing your content strategy and standing out in the stream. Content marketing may be at the peak of the hype cycle, but it’s never too late to learn a few new tricks.
Unpredictable algorithm shifts. Falling reach and lower engagement rates. Growing consumer mistrust from fake news and data breaches.
Despite woes like these, people still use social media platforms – and marketers are still drawn to their relationship-building powers. In fact, in 2019 research from Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs, 61% of B2B marketers and 69% of B2C marketers say they’ve increased their use of social media for content marketing compared with one year ago.
However, navigating the social media landscape is like entering a dark forest without a map. If you aren’t familiar with the terrain and don’t have a solid plan, you can’t expect to reach your destination, let alone make it out of the woods unscathed.
This guide is full of tools that will help you find the best path to success, from planning your social media explorations, to growing legions of brand fans, to engaging them in meaningful ways.
We’ll cover the top content marketing opportunities in the social sphere, including:
- Landmark locations like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn
- Video viewing-centric channels like YouTube and Twitch
- Streaming media sites like Snapchat Stories and Instagram Stories
- Emerging social platforms like Vero True Social and WeGather Online

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

2. WHAT IS CONTENT MARKETING?
The Content Marketing Institute defines content marketing as “a mar-
keting technique of creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consis-
tent content to attract and acquire a clearly defined audience--with the ob-
jective of driving profitable customer action.1
” Simply put, content marketing
is creating and publishing beneficial content to gain customers. As opposed
to selling a product or service, content marketing allows local businesses to
curate valuable information to educate and inform consumers. The driving
belief behind content marketing is that if companies consistently deliver
worthwhile information, customers will reward them with not only their
business, but their loyalty, as well.

4. SOCIAL LISTENING
“
“
By taking the time to do an environment surveillance plan,
you gain the ability to see who is talking about your
industry or company.
Before you implement a content marketing strategy, you should always use a social listening
tool, such as Social Mention, to help you grasp the current social environment of your customer. Your
content needs to appear on the online communities that your target audience is
currently using. Do your research. Find out where your customers are interacting online and push your
content to these sites. If you have limited time and/or budget, ensure that your content shows up on
relevant platforms so that sharing is available outside your circle of influence.11
By taking the time to do an environment surveillance plan, you gain the ability to see who is
talking about your industry or company. Pay attention to the jargon or phrases your customers are
using in these conversations and mimic them in your content.4
Ongoing listening efforts during content marketing campaigns is a must. Set up an RSS reader
to track influencers, blogs, forums, and social networks that are consistently talking about your
product/service category. Use free tools like Google Alerts and Twitter Search.Time. By using these
tools, you can organize and analyze the current environment of your brand. Set aside time in the
morning to check these tools and the daunting task of navigating the abundance of information online
will be much more manageable.11

5. HOW TO DRIVE CONTENT
One of the first steps in effective content marketing for local businesses is de-
termining the story and tone you want your brand to convey online. It’s important to
know what your customers, audience or community are already talking about.
Contributing to these conversations creates an active and engaged audience.8
Also,
the content that you create should always directly serve your business goals.
Creating content just for the sake of it is ineffective, as it doesn’t add any value for
consumers.8
Social media engagement must be proactive instead of reactive. The
ultimate goal is to nurture long-term relationships with customers, and one way of
doing so is by developing a personality for your business online through strategic
content creation.9

7. HOW TO CREATE EFFECTIVE CONTENT
In order to fully grasp how to create effective content, it’s important to under-
stand that content can be so much more than plain text. It can be blog posts, tweets,
pins, videos, pictures, and infographics. Before you develop your content, however, you
should reflect on your business goals and push your content accordingly16
. Strategic
content development is increasingly important for local businesses, as it’s an inexpen-
sive way to expose your message and your brand to your target audience. High quality
content is able to both attract an audience and keep them engaged. This content should
answer questions and/or address concerns that your customers may have about your
company, your products, your services, and your competitors17
. But remember, success-
ful content is both approachable and personable16
. Your audience wants to connect with
a person, not a business.
