How to Choose Authentic Photos for Content MarketingLiz Bedor
In the age of six-second attention spans and non-stop social media feeds, people want images that speak to them personally. Images that come off as constructed, airbrushed, or posed no longer resonate. They want real, candid moments from everyday life that feel natural in their world. Moments that speak to the human experience.
Executives are the Simon Cowell of the business world: impatient, critical, often caustic. But they're also desperately searching for talent. How do you make the right impression? These 5 tips will get you started
Marketers think they've seen it all, but they are usually blind to the truths of customer needs. Here's how to move beyond data to get to real insights that will improve your marketing and build your business.

Is The Way We've Been Doing Marketing And Sales Broken?Drift
Here's how the traditional approach to marketing and sales works:
Step One. Get people to your website.
Step Two. Once people are on your website, get them to convert on a form.
Step Three. After they fill out a form, nurture them with emails and phone calls until they buy from you, unsubscribe, or even worse -- do absolutely nothing, forever.
Yes, I dramatically oversimplified the process, but stick with me for a minute.
Now that we laid out how traditional marketing and sales work, take a second and think about the way that you buy and behave as a consumer.
If you're anything like me, when you're thinking about buying something, I bet the last thing you want to do is fill out a form or talk to a sales rep.
You try to avoid those things at all costs. Because these days, we can find out just about everything we need to know before making a purchase, and many times, we can buy things or get the information we need without ever having to talk to sales at all.
But in our jobs in marketing and sales, we stick to those traditional methods. That's how we do marketing and sales every single day -- because that's how it's always been done. That's how everyone does it.
But there are already examples of companies that have broken the mold of traditional marketing and sales.
Companies like Slack, Buffer, Trello, MailChimp, Zapier, InVision, Shopify, Quip, and others. They let us buy things the way we want to buy them -- on our own time.
Want to try before you buy? Go for it.
Want to buy something without ever talking to sales? Great.
Have a question and need to talk to someone? Yep. You can do that, too.
As Shopify’s chief sales scientist Loren Padelford said about the future of sales: “Our job is to do what our customers want. Customers are in control of the sales process now. We need to customize to the customer process, not to the sales company process.”
Those modern businesses believe helping is the new selling. They believe that customer experience is the new marketing. And they've figured out how to have 1:1 conversations at scale.
We think that there are two paths forward for businesses from here:
1. They can stick to their guns, keep doing what everyone else has been doing, and wait for that threshold level to get higher.
2. They can follow the lead of those modern businesses and change the way they do marketing and sales to match the way that people actually want to interact with a business today.
And that's what we're talking about in this SlideShare -- the future of marketing and sales and why the current model is starting to break.
Here at Table19, we believe that great work is only possible when clients and their agencies work together as a team. This is a presentation written by our Executive Creative Director Graham Wall, who on his first day in this industry heard the senior team he was shadowing say something he couldn’t understand: that the client had bought the wrong idea.
This set in motion a desire to understand how and why this had happened, and make sure it never happened again. This presentation details Graham’s learnings and philosophies, and shows how agencies and clients can create better work together.

User experience doesn't happen on a screen: It happens in the mind.John Whalen
User experience is a vital component of mission-critical projects. The vast majority of experience is digital. We spend insane amounts of time and money designing UX for websites, apps and products to impress users. But the truth is UX isn’t a singular experience we can define. And it doesn’t happen on a screen – it happens in the mind. More specifically, the six minds.
Discover how UX is truly a collection of experiences occurring across six brain concentrations, each with their own processing styles and ideal states. And how, using psychological principles, you can uncover the conscious and subconscious needs of these six minds to appeal to users on cognitive and emotional levels.
The Science behind Viral Marketing is a look at the key factors that drive growth in viral marketing. (Hint, the most important factor is not the one everyone expects.)

One part of the presntation shows the key formulae behind viral marketing.

As designers and developers, we don’t always have access to research to about our end users, or the opportunity to learn about them. This can leave us building products based on our managers personal opinion, or client specifications, and never really knowing how we can serve our users better.
But the good news is there are many opportunities for user research that most designers and developers just aren’t aware of. They are cheap, easy to implement, and can used straight away on almost any project.
Lily will talk you through 3 methods of no excuse user research that you can use immediately on the websites, products, apps and services you work on every day.

Whether you are a brand or a retailer, emotion is the new currency to get consumers to consume, and shoppers to buy. Today, marketers use actual currency in the form of price promotion, but this is costing too much and is no longer sustainable. If emotion is indeed the new currency, then stories are the critical new delivery system. If you want your brand to be a contending force in 10 years, you must write your brand story today, or you will be writing its obituary later. The million dollar question is — how do you
create your brand story?

Brands That Do: Building Behavior Brands
by Susan Machtiger and Jaime Prieto
The importance and meaning of brands is in a state of turbulence. We live in a fragmented media world amidst unprecedented consumer control and content overload. It has become apparent that those brands that do not matter to consumers will soon fade into absolute irrelevance. So, what matters to consumers? How brands behave. Consumers are telling us to stop making empty promises and start acting in new and different ways. In other words, we should be building brands that do things that matter to their customers. Most companies need to rethink how they build and care for their brands. This Red Paper shows them how.
Brands That Do: Building Enterprise BusinessS_HIFT
Over 75 percent of brands are so meaningless to consumers that they may as well not be there. They are brands that are of no consequence — just names on products or services.
There is hope. Our research found that brands around the world matter in different ways than they did before. People want brands that act, that help, that do. Consumers are sending a very clear message that challenges every part of a business — from finances to operations to marketing. Consumers are telling us to stop making empty promises and start acting in new and different ways. In other words, we should be building brands that do things that matter to their customers.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition

Your brand is
the stories people
tell about it. These stories can be carefully
crafted to change how people
talk, feel, act and think.

Why use
stories to
build your
brand? “76% of consumers
believe companies
are untruthful in
their advertising.”
source | Bold Mouth’s “Perceptions, Practices, and Ethics” report

The most brilliant brand
stories go viral.
And speaking of viral,
let’s debunk a myth:
Viral Marketing is useless.
15. 14
What the F?#K
is a Viral Coefficient?
(Let’s do a little experiment)
Viral coefficients appear as coefficients in the viral expansion of
the pressure of a many-particle system in powers of the density,
providing systematic corrections to the ideal gas law. They are
characteristic of the interaction potential between the particles and
in general depend on the temperature.

You're not just telling a story for the sake of telling a story
—you're using it to achieve your brand’s objectives.
Viral Principle #1 |
Know Your Objectives
17. 16
Example: BlendTech – Will it Blend?
Tactic to Try #1 | Increase Market Share
Every brand has Social Currency –
something interesting that people will talk
about, both online and offline. The job of a
Brand Storyteller is to identify Social
Currency and use it to help move the
business forward.
18. 17
Example: Corning | A Day of Glass
Tactic to Try #2 | Generate Leads
A brand’s Social Currency doesn’t
have to be whatever good or service is
available today. In fact, some of the best
Brand Stories provide a peek into the
future, creating demand for products
before they’re available.
19. 18
Example: Dollar Shave Club
Tactic to Try #3 | Objection Handling
Overcome resistance by crafting brand
stories to handle sales objections. These
can be fun, tongue-in-cheek ways to get
new customers.

Example: Oreo: Dunk in the Dark
Tactic to Try #4 | Capitalize on Real-world Events
Timing is everything. Keep your eyes
and ears open for organic opportunities
to hijack trending topics and news stories.
25. 24
How You Craft Your Story
Tell your story through
the words of others.
Highlight the conflict
and struggle. Stories are about mistakes
and struggle, because that's
how we learn.
26. 25
Example: Domino’s | Pizza Sucks
Tactic to Try #5 | Good Guys + Bad Guys
Every story has to have some kind
of bad guy, or there's no story.
27. 26
Example: Holstee | Manifesto
Tactic to try #6 | Motivate and Inspire
Engage the senses – visuals and music.
People remember stories better than facts,
and they remember stories that engage the
senses more than ones that don't.
28. 27
Example: Kmart | Ship my pants
Tactic to Try #7 | Introduce New Products + Services
Stories get people involved at a deeper
level because they engage the senses and
emotions and activate the brain. We learn
more and remember better.

And because every brand
deserves a happy ending!
