Marketers can learn from software developers to harness—rather than struggle against—the dynamics of a digital world.
Scott Brinker says of Hacking Marketing, “My goal was to help marketers at all levels—even those with no technical background or inclination—adapt marketing management to the wild and wonderful whirlwind of a world now dominated by software.”
“When you realize that marketers are now paddling water up to their chins in websites (software), analytics (software), social media (software), marketing automation (software), interactive content (software), mobile apps (software), and so on, it starts to seem obvious. Software has eaten the world—and marketing too.”
“To effectively harness the digital forces of software, we must not only innovate what we produce in marketing, but innovate how we produce it too.”
“It’s time to rethink marketing management for a software-powered world.”

Creating an Interactive Content Strategy that Works with Technologyion interactive
Scott Brinker's presentation from 2016 ContentTech Virtual Event:
Designing Interactive Content to Power Your Marketing Data Strategy
Interactive content—things such as quizzes, assessments, calculators, and configurators—is qualitatively different than the passive content that audiences simply read, watch, or listen to. Interactive content experiences are essentially miniature software programs, or web apps, which have logic and user experience wrapped into their design and operation. Most importantly, they give marketers the ability to collect and leverage a rich set of data that is explicitly volunteered by participants.
Marketers can design interactive content with this data in mind to develop a broader marketing data strategy. This presentation covers frameworks for both the user-facing options that marketers
can apply, to solicit the right kind of data from prospects at different stages of the buyer's journey, and the back-office management of this data through different marketing automation platforms (MAP) and CRM systems.
Topics include:
- Managing explicit "digital dialogue" data vs. implicit "digital body language"
- Applying advanced progressive profiling tactics in interactive content
- Pipelining richer data profiles from marketing to sales through your marketing stack
- Understanding scenarios for programmatic data vs. human-consumable data
What the next wave of results-focused content marketing looks like for the coming year.
This year is squarely focused on driving measurable business value from content marketing.
A few of the 2016 trends you need to know:
- Addressing increased content performance and ROI pressure
- Breaking through content clutter for sustainable attention
- Repurposing content through function rather than format
- Increasing lead quantity and quality from content
- Increasing velocity and relevance in the buyer’s journey
