SEO, as a marketing discipline, has taken on an entirely new role and has become a critical component of a brand’s entire digital strategy. It’s no longer possible to see search engine optimisation as an isolated activity, kept separately from a brand’s other core marketing and communication channels. Instead, SEO has become an integral part of that marketing and communications strategy.
But established brands are finding it difficult to align the multiple stakeholders and skillsets needed to deliver a digital strategy that will succeed in engaging online audiences, provide a coherent customer experience and drive return on investment.
Mike McDougall, Head of SEO at Stickyeyes, explains what it takes for enterprise level organisations to succeed in digital, and shared his top tips for developing an organisational culture in which digital can thrive.

Sorry, marketers. We can’t hear you, because we have collectively, actively stopped listening. Your ads, your overloaded websites, your sponsored content, your "infotainment series"—these are not the things we want or need. What we need, dear people, is for you to pause … and breathe. Stop treating every day like a fire drill. Momentarily ignore the shiny new trends. Instead, take a look at the things that are (still) fundamentally broken. Your message is splintered. Your teams are siloed. Your technology is backwards. Your content still sucks.
So let's sit down together and talk about a whole new world of marketing, one where pragmatism and principle drive a new kind of innovation: fixing what's actually broken, versus finding new things to break.
As the practice of content marketing evolves, it’s not only the term itself that is difficult to define, but even more so the role for social media and public relations professionals.

In this presentation, delivered at MarketingProfs B2B Forum, I provide the 7 key factors to content marketing success. I outline a roadmap that any business can follow to achieve content marketing success.

Live Webinar: Taming the Financial Content BeastLinkedIn
In response, financial brands have ramped up their investment in content marketing. However, many are still struggling to define how much content they should produce, in what formats and through which channels to activate it.
In attempting to ‘tame the content beast’, the solution is perhaps to anchor content back in the context of the customer journey. This process starts by mapping these journeys from awareness, through consideration and nurture to purchase – and beyond. These journey maps should then inform the choice of content format and activation channel, depending on the customer’s needs at each stage. This holistic view should also provide a more meaningful benchmark to assess Return on Investment.

Fast forward nearly 20 years and, whilst there is no disputing the power of content to attract and retain customers, it’s become more challenging than ever to ensure your brand messages cut through the noise.
Not only is time required to develop, create and distribute content from already overstretched teams but, there are also the logistical challenges of ensuring integration across all marketing channels. It’s easy to understand why so many brands fail to maximise their investment and generate irrelevant content ‘just because everyone else is’.
But, with increasing evidence that your content marketing strategy has a direct influence over your online performance what key considerations should you have in place for creating killer content?

Monthly Social Media News Update May 2024Andy Lambert
TL;DR. These are the three themes that stood out to us over the course of last month.
1️⃣ Social media is becoming increasingly significant for brand discovery. Marketers are now understanding the impact of social and budgets are shifting accordingly.
2️⃣ Instagram’s new algorithm and latest guidance will help us maintain organic growth. Instagram continues to evolve, but Reels remains the most crucial tool for growth.
3️⃣ Collaboration will help us unlock growth. Who we work with will define how fast we grow. Meta continues to evolve their Creator Marketplace and now TikTok are beginning to push ‘collabs’ more too.
Videos are more engaging, more memorable, and more popular than any other type of content out there. That’s why it’s estimated that 82% of consumer traffic will come from videos by 2025.
And with videos evolving from landscape to portrait and experts promoting shorter clips, one thing remains constant – our brains LOVE videos.

Editor's Notes
Hate to break it to you, but your customer probably doesn’t care about your brand. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but for most brands – to a customer, you’re a function, a service, something to be consumed. Getting people to go out of their way to consume content about you is tough, particularly if what you have to say is boring to the average consumer.
Because you live and breathe the brand, it’s easy to talk about it. It’s easy to pull together data on how many millions of miles you’ve flown as an airline this year, or tell your customers about your employee of the month or who won the marketing team’s bake off. The problem is, your customer, really doesn’t care.
To add insult to injury, your customer’s attention span is short, perhaps shorter than ever before
Microsoft researchers surveyed 2,000 participants in Canada and studied the brain activity of 112 others using electroencephalograms.
The results showed the average human attention span has fallen from 12 seconds in 2000, or around the time the mobile revolution began, to eight seconds. That’s poorer than your average goldfish.
So you want to grab their attention in a crowded marketplace, when they’re barely listening – it’s a nightmare.
Few brands are in the incredible fortunate (and enviable) position of having a genuinely interesting product set or service, that customers will rave about non-stop. (Hello, Apple.)
Working with Hertz, we know that when people talk about our brand, they talk emotionally, not about the hiring of the car, but about what it facilitates
The hire car isn’t a story. Hiring a car is functional, the car itself is probably similar to, or a slight step up from the car you have at home and also, most people who hire cars have very little interest in cars. The car, invariably, is boring. The hiring of the car, (whilst incredibly easy and great value for money!) is pretty boring.
…but where it takes you isn’t boring. What it facilitates isn’t boring. Travel as a sector, isn’t boring!
So of course, as a brand, you step beyond talking about the day-to-day runnings of your brand, your special offers and discounts, and you start to talk about travel, because talking about travel is so easy and creates so much engagement right? Wrong.
You’re risking boring your customers again, or more accurately, being irrelevant if you just take a punt and talk about something to do with travel. Let’s say you decide to talk about where your brand operates.
You might get lucky, you might be an airline that flies to Guatemala and you decide that instead of talking about how many sick bags you carry on board, you will talk to a local environmentalist about the endangered wilderness of Guatemala, film it and publish it on your YouTube channel.
Your audience may go nuts for it. Or not. How do you know? You went all the way to Guatemala and you forgot to figure out if your audience care about endangered wildernesses. Turns out they don’t and you’ve wasted time and money trying to create a credible story outside of your comfort zone. Nice try, but still not quite good enough.
Figure out who your audience is.
It sounds so obvious but knowing who you're going after with your content marketing efforts is vital. If the very definition of moving outside of your niche is trying to expand into a new audience, then know who they are. You’ll probably have several audiences, that’s ok too, you can’t be all things to all people, but you can show different sides to your personality to different audiences.
Get to know them.
Are they massively prolific on Pinterest? No. Then that Pinterest content strategy seems a bit of a waste. Are they prolific video watchers? Nah. Then filming all of your brand content probably isn’t going to reach them. What else are they interested in? Are they massively into days out in the countryside, movie buffs or car enthusiasts? Knowing what they’re into, apart from being into you, stops you guessing at how to step outside of your niche.
Find a happy middle ground between your brand and your customer
Let’s say your audience over-index on their consumption of video. You know that video is typically expensive to produce, so you work on the second best option, or produce one brilliantly crafted video that year.
Let’s say your audience over index on their love of Dad’s Army. There is no intersect between you, and Dad’s Army (as much as you might love there to be). You let that piece of information go as it doesn’t help you create relevant, credible content, but perhaps, it tells you a good time to schedule a TV advert...
With Hertz, we know that their customers are split between business and leisure. Our leisure hirers are mostly hiring from within the country they live in, they’re families in a specific affluence bracket, we know where they live and we know the destinations they most commonly travel to.
n.b. bloggers, I know there are tons of you here, the same completely applies to you. One of my personal favourite bloggers, Caroline Hirons, recently posed questions to her readers on the type of content they’d like to see more of.
She included content that she already publishes – how to’s, product reviews, top 10’s, but also, included several other options such as book reviews and interviews – which she doesn’t do. Gauging what your audience likes the most of can be as simple as looking at your Analytics and seeing your most trafficked pages, but if you stick to what you know, how will you figure out if your audience would like (or even prefer) something else?
We went back to those websites that our customers love, the journalists who write with pride about their cities and asked them to swap cities with another journalist from another publication within Europe and write about their experiences. The native of the city provided an itinerary of cool things to do and the novice went off to experience them and discovered plenty of new things along the way.

The native of the city provided an itinerary of cool things to do and the novice went off to experience them and discovered plenty of new things along the way.
Like a lot of brands, the opportunity to sponsor or partner with an event, team or brand that has huge media attention, is an opportunity to relish. We want to reach a lot of people and a big, global event is a great way to achieve that reach.
We know our customers love Wimbledon. Our core customer profiles overindexed on their love of both tennis and the event itself, so it’s demographically a good fit for our brand.
At Hertz, we’re in the fortunate positionn of being the official transport provider to Wimbledon.
The partnership with Wimbledon is long standing and as Hertz’ digital agency, Stickyeyes have leveraged this opportunity to attract attention to Hertz. We essentially piggyback on the amazingness of Wimbledon and use it as a way to talk beyond travel.
Over the past few years, we’ve created a Wimbledon reaction speed game, real-time on-the-court social updates guides to dressing for Wimbledon, a Wimbledon Bingo game and tons more. Sponsorship affords you the opportunity to go completely left field of your niche, as long as you’re sponsoring something that your customers are interested in. Intelligent selection of a partnership, however small or large, is critical to the success of using content in this way.
