The 9 Essential Elements of any Content Marketing Strategy | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

According to a study by Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs only 38% of B2B companies think their content marketing is effective. The same study also states that only 35% of the companies have a documented content marketing strategy.

Here are 9 essential elements any content marketing strategy should include....

Let’s not kid ourselves. Any marketer worth their weight in nickels know the importance of digital marketing and social media. But the hard reality is, one piece of the digital marketing and social media puzzle that is still left out is the power of content. We talk about how important it is to increase engagement on Twitter or how to go viral on reddit but rarely do we talk about the importance of content in everything we do.

 

Creating content that an audience likes is hard, and it’s not something that can be done in the matter of minutes. It requires commitment and it requires an ongoing effort to deliver unique and compelling content. Executives around the globe still don’t get it. Many are still just trying to get their feet wet in the digital space and are allowing their businesses to be average instead of remarkable. Studies have shown that content needs to be the backbone of every digital strategy. And here are five reasons why...

21 Reasons Why Your Content Marketing Strategy May Be Headed for Trouble | Social Media Today

21 Reasons Why Your Content Marketing Strategy May Be Headed for Trouble | Social Media Today | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
The role and value of content marketing has dramatically changed in just the past year.

 

While many business owners are still trying to get their heads around an effective social media strategy; now they have to also think about becoming publishers and content marketers.

 

Why? The digital media convergence of social, search and content. If social and search are peanut butter and jelly - content is the bread that makes the sandwich.

 

The problem is, while most businesses and companies realize the importance of content marketing and are attempting to engage in it (recent studies suggest 80-90%) many don't understand it and are making critical mistakes that could undermine their efforts.

 

Below, I've put together a list of 21 reasons why your content marketing strategy may be headed for trouble....

Sony's Director of Social Media Seeks Not Followers But 'Loyalists' | Contently

Sony's Director of Social Media Seeks Not Followers But 'Loyalists' | Contently | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Chad Kaszer, director of social media at Sony, tells The Content Strategist how the company has used content to expand its social community.

 

...The one term that has survived the last decade is not “social” (it used to be call “consumer-generated media”), but “community.” Brands love the idea of a protective and loyal community, but the question is: how can a community form in a virtual space where the members may never actually meet?

 

In my experience, the answer boils down to three commitments a brand must make in order to succeed: vision, consistency, and shared responsibility. If a company is unable or unwilling to express its unique perspective on the world, commit time to engage with those who share that perspective, or take responsibility for its part in making its vision a reality, then it is amassing a crowd of followers, not a community of loyalists....
