  The Web Has Changed



Everything
Two Things Matter

    Friends
First, Let’s Understand the Web of Today
Google Has a Voracious Appetite
Content. Why It Matters.



         Bill Gates, 1996, “Content is King”

“Content is where I expect much of the real money
         will be made on the Internet ….”
What We’re Used To

Traditional Marketing = Push Messaging

             Display Ads
             Direct Mail
             TV + Radio
            Yellow Pages
            Cold Calling
             Email Blast

Traditional Marketing is Interruption
Now, What the #$% is Content
          Marketing?
                Blogging
           Video + Podcasting
            Email Marketing
            Flickr, Instagram
  Social (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn)
 Case Studies, White Papers, Webinars
        Tumblr, Posterous, etc.

And all of this is part of content marketing. And
 collectively, it’s called “inbound marketing.”
             Inbound Marketing
This? It’s Different



   Content Marketing = Pulling Them In

  It’s like spreading breadcrumbs on the
 Internet and hoping they’ll pick them up.
Those breadcrumbs are designed to lead
 them “home” -- to your website, landing
page, Facebook page, etc. – wherever it is
           you want them to end up
Social Channels Drive Business
          (and Trust)


 But you have to feed
them. Great content is
   how you do that.
      Content is
    breadcrumbs.
How These Channels Drive Business
Video Content is Big

                               Channel                        44%

WHY Are We Talking
               About This?
                  Seth Godin, 2008

“Content marketing is all the marketing that’s left.”

In the new marketing world, you can’t fake it, so you
           have no choice but to be real.

                   Real = Trust
Social Media is
    About
    Trust
Content marketing helps you
        build trust
So, What Are We Going to Do Now?
The Formula Has Changed




Old Way: Money x Media = Business
New Way: Time x Media = Business
Today ….


Every company is a media company.
  Every company needs a content
            strategy.
Every company needs a social media
           presence.
