created	
  this	
  new	
  eBook!	
  
Hmmm…	
  
I	
  wonder	
  where	
  I	
  should	
  
publish	
  it?	
  
#Concept2Close	

Content	
  Marke7ng…circa	
  2012	
  
Create	
  and	
  Publish	
  
Content	
  to	
  Fulfill	
  the	
  
Needs	
  of	
  an	
  Integrated	
  
Campaign	
  Plan	
  
#Concept2Close	

Step	
  1:	
  Define	
  the	
  Campaign	
  
What are the objectives
for the campaign (e.g.
how will it be measured)?
Which target markets
will the campaign attempt
to influence?
#Concept2Close	

Step	
  2:	
  Describe	
  the	
  Target	
  Personas	
  
Specifically identify
the different
personas that
influence the
purchase decision
that this campaign
will target
Thoroughly investigate and
document the objectives and
pains that will motivate each
target’s investment in your
product or service
Dig a little deeper
to identify themes
that are top of
mind with each
persona to help
inform both
content and
promotions
Warning:	
  	
  
This	
  is	
  the	
  hard	
  part!	
  
Without	
  comple0ng	
  this	
  part	
  
of	
  the	
  process,	
  it	
  was	
  like	
  
marke0ng	
  in	
  the	
  dark…	
  
#Concept2Close	

Step	
  3:	
  Map	
  Content	
  to	
  Personas	
  
Map specific content assets to
each persona’s questions
(both existing assets and
those that need to be created)
Identify the types
of content that will
help answer each
persona’s
questions during
every phase of
the buying cycle
For assets that need to be
created, assign owners and
due dates to ensure your
campaign will have the
content required to answer
each persona’s questions
