Promoting Your Content Marketing: Time to Orchestrate THE Concert of Paid Media
Content Marketing Institute research shows that new, creative approaches to paid content promotion are paying dividends to content marketers.
By Robert Rose, Chief Strategy Officer, Content Marketing Institute
Privacy Please: Why Retailers Need to Rethink PersonalizationCapgemini
Today, retailers face a significant conundrum. With the rapid proliferation of mobile, social media and in-store sensors, they are now sitting on a treasure trove of data. Walmart, for example, has about 30 petabytes of shopping information – the equivalent of nearly seven million DVDs. Retailers have all the data they need to create personalized promotions and offers. And consumers are very much in favor of personalization – survey after survey shows consumers increasingly expect personalized offers presented at the right moment.
But this customer data opportunity has a flip side: the personalization that consumers have a taste for can rapidly deteriorate into something that they find unpalatable. This could be because the personalization exercise is perceived to stray into the consumer’s private domain, or because the exercise is clumsily executed. This report examines this invisible border between personalization and privacy and how retailers can balance this tension in their customer experience.
We launched a comprehensive research exercise that analyzed over 220,000 conversations on social media to gauge customer sentiment on the themes of personalization and privacy for retailers. We collected data relating to 65 of the largest global retailers, collectively generating revenues of over a trillion dollars.
The results are worrying:
• Consumers worldwide are strongly dubious of retailers’ privacy initiatives: 93 percent of all consumer sentiment on this subject was negative
• Security and invasion of privacy are key data issues: The report finds that the main factors contributing to negative sentiment are data security (76 percent) and intrusive behaviour by the retailer (51 percent). Consumer skepticism grew when trigger incidents occurred, including updates of privacy policies during mergers and acquisitions, or regulatory inquiries into a retailer’s violation of data security policies
• Striking the balance between privacy and personalization eludes most: Only 14 percent of retailers are perceived positively by consumers on both personalization and privacy initiatives.
We believe that the 14% of leaders who solve the personalization-privacy conundrum demonstrate best practice in three areas: personalization initiatives that give customers control and a clear value; using technology to drive customer satisfaction rather than just as an enabler; and a clear governance framework and practices on personalization and privacy.

Why is content marketing critical for a healthy business?Scott MacFarland
Content has become noticeably more popular in
recent years. You have probably seen on many of
the social media channels the onslaught of articles,
infographics, blogs, photos, social posts and videos
all trying to communicate a message and compete
for the readers’ attention.

All types of companies, big and small as well as
entrepreneurs, and consultants are producing
content to let their voice be known, all while trying
to carve out their own slice of the market. It’s a
daunting task to say the least. What’s even more
challenging is the marketer’s job of trying to capture
the attention of the people most important to them
and measure the efficacy of their content.

@msweezey
4. Understanding why we create content is
where we have to begin to fully understand
how to show value.
@msweezey
5. 5000 impressions
How many ad impressions your exposed to
on a daily basis in 2014. This was 350 in
1975.
@msweezey
6. 10 seconds
You have 10 seconds to show value once
someone has engaged.
@msweezey

been disappointed by content

17. 25% of those B2B buyers
who have been disappointed
by your content will never
read content from you again

18. 1/Escape
People wanting to escape will lean on self discover and
social channels. They are looking to escape their work,
life, job, and take a short break. No barring on sales
readiness.
@msweezey
20. 2/Learn
People wanting to learn are looking on ways to do their
job better. This can also take place during an escape.
May be an early sign of sales readiness if they move to
research.
@msweezey
22. 3/Research
People wanting to research will dedicate time to search,
learn, and solve. They are looking for content to help them
solve for a problem. Shows sales readiness
@msweezey
26. Metrics to create better
content:
• Baselines
• Reach
• Engagement
• Obtainment of Goal
@msweezey
27. Baselines
Your content marketing should be measured to your
previous efforts. You need to set baselines, and keep up
with your improvements. What worked, and why.
@msweezey
28. Evergreen
Evergreen content should be measured on a timeframe.
So if you have a video on “XYZ” you should measure it
every 30 days to see how it compared to the previous.
This will tell you if you need to update, change, or
promote it.
@msweezey
31. Reach
Is a metric to help you evaluate your
strategy. But it should not be a metric you
use to evaluate the effectiveness of content
marketing, but rather the execution or
strategy of your distribution.
@msweezey
33. Engagement
Is a metric to help you evaluate your
strategy. But it should not be a metric you
use to evaluate the effectiveness of content
marketing, but rather the image, topic, and
copy.
@msweezey
34. @msweezey
How many opens did it get = Subject line
How many clicks did it get = Copy and CTA
How many shares, likes, comments = Topic
How many page views did it get = Image and CTA
How many likes, shares, new fans = Image and CTA
How many likes, shares, new fans = Copy and Image
How long did someone watch it = Story
36. Goal
How many people actually did what you
wanted them to do. Was this a lead gen
piece, did you drive leads? Was this an
engagement piece, did people engage? This
is a measure of your story line, execution of
content, and CTA.
@msweezey
37. @msweezey
Daily content consumption. Usually is Learn,
and Escape. Happens across all media
channels.
How we engage with Research content.
38. STRATEGY CREATIVE CTA
Reach
Low impact report,
and will not tell you
the effectiveness of
your content, but if
your distribution
strategy was correct.
@msweezey
Engagement
Medium level report
to show you if your
image and call to
action were correct.
Engagement is what
you want. Fans,
Likes, Shares,
Comments….
% of Goal
What percent took a
next step. This can
either be to continue
the experience, or
this could be a
conversion. This tells
you was your
experience correct or
not.
39. Phone Calls
The only real way to find out if your content had the effect
you really wanted. They only way to test branding.
Ask: Is it what you were expecting, was it helpful, how
can it be better.
@msweezey
42. ROI
Is not a basic of report. There is no direct
cost to creating content, and no direct tie to
it’s return, so tying it to pipeline is guess
work at best. The idea is sound, the current
methodology is not.
@msweezey
44. Attribution
In theory sounds great, in practice is not.
Not a business metric, puts you in a sliver
bullet mindset, deemphasizes holistic
marketing, does not provide actionable
metrics, and assumes way to much.
@msweezey
46. @msweezey
Velocity
How fast does
someone move
thought your funnel.
• TVM is a business metric
• Accounts for holistic efforts
• Predicts future outomes
47. 4/Efficiency
Showing real business value by creating more quality
leads on the same amount of work.
@msweezey
48. @msweezey
Efficiency
How many leads go in
the top of each stage,
and how many come out
the bottom.
• 1.6% is best in class
• Identifies holes in content
strategy
50. 1/Your boss
• Work to gain buy in on new reporting
methods
• Show possible ways to track Velocity
• Show it’s ability to predict future outcomes
• Show
@msweezey
51. 2/Your Content
• Make sure your content is tied to the stages
in the buying cycle.
• Set up phone interviews with your
customers to better understand creating
future content.
• Know the keywords they search for in each
stage.
@msweezey
52. @msweezey
Daily content consumption. Usually is Learn,
and Escape. Happens across all media
channels.
How we engage with Research content.
53. 3/Your Tools
• You need to have all of your content
tracked, and data collected
• Marketing automation will be the backbone
• CRM is a must for aligning sales data back
to your efforts
@msweezey
54. Conclusions
Content marketing isn’t just about creating
content. It is a highly tactical marketing
method which requires a very astute
understanding of your buyer, buy in from your
business as to how you will prove its’ value,
and a new set of tools to execute on it
effectively.
