The document discusses three main issues facing global content marketing: content and channels, teams, and tools. It notes the challenges of inconsistent branding, poor customer experience, and wasted efforts without proper coordination across these areas. For teams, it emphasizes the need for strong leadership, clear roles, cultural understanding, and communication. For tools, it highlights limitations in supporting multiple languages/alphabets and ensuring content is appropriate for different countries. For content and channels, it examines tailoring what is created and distributed based on regional differences.

Editor's Notes
- Key Takeaway: We are a publicly traded company. Please make your buying decisions only on the products commercially available from Salesforce.com. Talk Track: Before I begin, just a quick note that when considering future developments, whether by us or with any other solution provider, you should always base your purchasing decisions on what is currently available.
- use org for content, orchestration, problems companies have rolling out globally
- Content activities include touch marketing, communications, social media, community, IT, creative, agency and vendor relationships, customer service, product groups, PR, and possibly dozens of other internal and external stakeholders. While this need often originally arises on content’s front lines, i.e., communications or social media divisions, content’s reach exceeds far beyond these departments to embrace the enterprise as a whole, particularly marketing, advertising, community, CRM, R&D, IT, knowledge management, and PR.
- Content must be executed correctly for it to be effective across the marketing ecosystem, as well as across the broader enterprise. Yet content marketing in digital channels is relatively new and therefore poorly understood. It also requires that marketers look around the corner to what the future will bring. In addition, content is bigger than one department. It spans multiple functional groups within and outside of marketing, including CRM, IT, HR, and knowledge management. As a result, brands cannot yet clearly articulate their content marketing needs to the hundreds of content marketing vendors competing for their business, with new vendors emerging all the time.
- problems companies are having (firewalls in china, linguistic, alphabet problems, CMS, DAM, image expirations for country-use)
- Overwhelmingly, we found a disconnect between marketing and IT when it comes to tool selection, capabilities, requirements, and cross-functional buy-in. Without content oversight, staff active in content are often expected to work with technology selected by IT. They are end-users rather than stakeholders in the selection, implementation, and feature set of the Content Management Systems (CMS), Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems, and other foundational tools. In fact, the bigger and more fundamental the tool, the less input content staff says they have. This leads to a rogue, workaround culture that inhibits collaboration and sharing. The end result of these workarounds is teams buying consumer-grade solutions with capabilities they already have.
