Content Strategy
Like most young companies, we started with content marketing to build credibility and become thought leaders in the website optimization and personalization space. That’s changing as we mature.
Thought leadership is still important to us, especially since a space like online personalization is still developing, but our content marketing team is now focused on creating content that aligns with with buyer interest and Monetate’s product offering. We want to educate and inspire everyone in our sales funnel (and even those who have converted) by developing content that is interesting, useful and reassuring.
Specific Challenges
Top three content marketing challenges:
Understanding what’s working. A download only tells you so much. We want to know a lot more. What are people doing when they’re reading our EQ? Are they reading the whole thing? Are they focused on one aspect of it? Should that aspect be a blog post? Should it be a Tweet?
Improving sales enablement. We’re looking at the performance of our content from a macro level. But our sales team can get a better understanding of what’s moving the needle with a customer by paying attention to the micro level. Did the prospect actually flip through the EQ? What part did they read? Can our sales person act on that information? Also, we’re planning to build out hubs and streams that are targeted to our sales team’s various needs. A person in the field has different content marketing needs than an inside sales team member. Uberflip is going to help us serve the right content to each of them.
Customer experience. Randy already talked about this, but we had also been wanting to improve the actual reading experience associated with our content. Our old blog seemed … well … old. And the experience surrounding our premium content felt like everyone else’s. Some of our biggest fans tell us that we produce some of the best stuff they read. Shouldn’t it feel that way? Also, when I saw that the Marketo-CTA integration allowed us to not “gate” content for returning visitors, that was a clincher. In fact, we’ve already gotten a thank you from a customer for that. It’s a small change, but one that I think all of us get annoyed with.
