Thought Leadership in the Construction IndustryImagine
Thought leadership (sometimes called "content marketing" or "idea marketing") can one of the most powerful but challenging tools in your marketing toolbox. Sadly, many builders and A/E/C firms have given up trying to develop valuable content, and started dressing up their brochures as thought leadership. While an impressive brochure has its place, it’s not exactly what we’re going for here. With the right approach, B2B companies large and small can leverage their Subject Matter Expertise (SME) and create valuable content that will connect with their customers and drive business results.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

lists, or cold calling, inbound
marketing focuses on creating
educational content that pulls
people toward your website where
they can learn more about what you
sell on their own accord.
WHAT IS INBOUND MARKETING?
5. INBOUND IS AN APPROACH TO MARKETING THAT REACHES TODAY’S
CONSUMER.
Understand what
content pulls your
buyers through the
sales funnel, and use
that context to
personalize your
marketing at scale.

6. 1. Inbound as a philosophy
(the “WHY?”);
2. Inbound as a methodology
(the “HOW?”); and
3. Inbound as a tool set
(the “PLAYBOOK”).
INBOUND MARKETING CAN BE UNDERSTOOD IN THREE WAYS:
TOOL SET
9. Inbound marketing is a philosophy
based on the truth that consumers
buy differently today than they did 10
years ago.
INBOUND AS A PHILOSOPHY.
10. PRE-INTERNET.
• Buyer: Relatively
uninformed.
• Buyer Journey: Linear.
• Marketing Playbook:
Interrupt (cold calls and
advertising).
HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED.
TODAY.
• Buyer: Well-informed.
• Buyer Journey: Fluid and
random. Starts with Google.
• Marketing Playbook:
Thought leadership through
content creation.
11. There are three major reasons
why consumers are skeptical
about brands, and why
interruptive advertising and cold
calling aren’t nearly as effective
as they once were…
HOW DID THIS TRANSFORMATION TAKE PLACE?
3
12. 1. The Proliferation of Media: The
media landscape has become
insanely cluttered. There’s a
magazine, TV channel, radio
station, and a gajillion websites
for every conceivable interest.
WHY INTERRUPTION DOESN’T WORK: REASON NUMBER ONE.
13. The media landscape grew to include more
channels over time, and each channel
eventually became its own advertising medium.
14. Let’s try to comprehend just how cluttered the
media landscape is to illustrate how much
advertising there is ...
15. This is a simplified
timeline of the
appearance of
advertising in major
communication
channels.
16. Not only has the media landscape grown by
type; each type has grown exponentially by
volume.
17. • In 1920, there was 1 radio station. In 2011, there were 14,700.
• In 1946, America had 12 broadcasting TV stations. In 2011,
there were over 1,700.
• In 1998 (over 15 years ago!), the average consumer saw or
heard 1 million marketing messages – almost 3,000 per day.
• In 2014, there are 1,500 stories competing to show up in your
personal Facebook News Feed at any given moment.
THE PROLIFERATION OF MEDIA.
19. 2. A History of Deceptive
Advertising: Consumers are
accustomed to false claims and
deceit in advertising, so even
when clever ads are seen by
consumers, they’re thought to
be dishonest.
WHY INTERRUPTION DOESN’T WORK: REASON NUMBER TWO.
According to the 2012 Edelman Trust
Barometer, 63% of consumers need to
hear company claims 3-5x before they’ll
actually believe them!
21. 3. Technology Empowered the
Consumer: Consumers gained
access to tools and information
that enabled them to dodge
interruptive brand messages and
instead seek out information
when they’re ready.
WHY INTERRUPTION DOESN’T WORK: REASON NUMBER THREE.
22. VCRs.
Caller ID.
DVRs.
The Do Not Call list.
Spam software.
Broadband internet.
Smartphones.
Social media.
This
changed
everything.

23. By aligning the content you publish
with your customer’s interests, you
can earn permission to market to
prospects that you can convert into
leads, close into customers, and
delight to the point they come
promoters of your brand.
THAT’S WHY PERMISSION BECAME MORE EFFECTIVE THAN INTERRUPTION.
24. There are several major themes of inbound,
permission-based marketing. Let’s talk about
them.
25. You create targeted content that
answers your customer's basic
questions and needs, and you share
that content far and wide.
CONTENT CREATION.
26. You recognize that people go through
stages as they interact with your
company, and that each stage
requires different marketing actions.
LIFECYCLE MARKETING.
27. As you learn more about your leads
over time, you can better personalize
your messages to their specific needs.
PERSONALIZATION & CONTEXT.
28. Inbound marketing is multi-channel
by nature because it approaches
people where they are, in the channel
where they want to interact with you.
A MULTI-CHANNEL PRESENCE.
29. Your publishing and analytics tools all
work together like a well-oiled
machine, allowing you to focus on
publishing the right content in the
right place at the right time.
INTEGRATION.
30. • Building trust, not skepticism
among your prospects.
• Being loved, not ignored by your
customers.
• Outsmarting, not outspending
your competitors.
IN SUMMARY, INBOUND MARKETING IS ABOUT...
32. The inbound philosophy is backed by a
methodology that helps brands attract,
convert, close, and delight visitors, leads
and customers through a variety of
channels such as social media, blogging,
SEO, landing pages, forms, and email.
THE METHODOLOGY.
33. The methodology facilitates the buyer journey
through the sales funnel – from strangers to
promoters of your brand.
37. You want to attract people that will
potentially become leads. Attract
your ideal customer or buyer
persona by creating content that’s
valuable and easy for them to find.
STEP 1: ATTRACT STRANGERS AND TURN THEM INTO WEBSITE VISITORS.
39. Once you’ve got visitors to your site,
the next step is to convert those
visitors into leads by gathering their
contact information. In order to get
this valuable information, you need
to offer something up in return (ex:
ebook).
STEP 2: CONVERT WEBSITE VISITORS INTO LEADS.
41. Once you’ve attracted the right
visitors and converted the right
leads, you need to transform those
leads into customers with targeted,
automated email nurturing and
social media interaction.
STEP 3: CLOSE LEADS INTO CUSTOMERS THROUGH LEAD NURTURING.
43. Using context and personalization to
deliver tailored messages, continue
to engage with, delight, and
(hopefully) upsell your current
customer base into happy
promoters of your company.
STEP 4: DELIGHT CUSTOMERS TO TURN THEM INTO PROMOTERS OF YOUR
BRAND.
44.
45. 1) ATTRACT: GET TRAFFIC
2) CONVERT: GET LEADS
3) CLOSE: GET CUSTOMERS
4) DELIGHT: ANALYZE & OPTIMIZE
Create blog content, search engine optimize (SEO)
that content, and promote it on social media sites.
Place calls-to-action throughout your website, blog, social
accounts, and email to drive visitors to landing pages with
forms.
Send leads targeted, automated emails to drive them through your
buying cycle. Provide your sales team with lead intelligence for more
effective sales calls.
Analyze the success of your marketing campaigns, and determine which
areas need further optimization or personalization for future success.
