The Secret Weapon of Content Marketing is Public Relations

The Secret Weapon of Content Marketing is Public Relations | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

A piece of great content is an asset that has value; the sharing of it should be given appropriate attention and care.


Strong content deserves a strong PR plan.


Never thought about it that way? Not convinced your content is worthy of a PR campaign? Ask yourself the following question: Is your content marketing as worthy as your last strategic partnership or personnel announcement?


Don’t make the mistake of under-estimating your content. Content connects and content converts....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

If a brilliant infographic is created and never shared, does it really exist? PR works with content.

Marco Favero's curator insight, July 30, 2015 10:59 AM

Se un brillante infografica è creato e mai condivise, è veramente esiste? PR lavora con i contenuti.

Nonprofits: Reach Consumer Audience, Avoid Content Marketing Problems | Content Marketing Institute | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Michael Buller shapes content marketing strategy at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Learn how he targets a consumer audience and overcomes industry challenges....

 

Beyond our traditional social media channels (Facebook and Twitter), I think SlideShare has been the most successful. Some of our videos have really done well separately, just as YouTube videos and the videos that we link from our site.


For our research publications, we’ve created separate apps for all the various tablets. That’s been a little disappointing in terms of the number of downloads. They’re free apps, but we can’t seem to get as many interested eyeballs as I would like. I think it’s difficult, as people aren’t actively searching for this type of info. It’s not something they say: “Oh, cancer research. That would be a fun app!” So trying to get some attention to that amidst all the thousands and thousand of apps out there, and trying to drive traffic to the apps that we’ve created has been challenging for us....



Jeff Domansky's insight:

This is a great interview about content marketing strategies with Michael Buller at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Lots of tactics and ideas for any content marketer, nonprofit or for-profit.

How To Use Content Marketing To Get Leads That Are Ready to Buy | Business 2 Community | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Great content marketing attracts prospects and converts them to buyers. However, there is more to great content than churning thoughtful, attention-grabbing blog posts or articles. Many businesses are finding lead generation difficult because they do not produce content that works. Are you among the business owners that do not see the money piling up despite producing high-quality material?

 

Before the dollars start rolling in, you need to put some time, thought and planning on the marketing side of content. This means having to strategically think of the type of content to distribute to your prospects and make sure that it is aligned with your buyer personas....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Just the content marketing basics...

Pam Ivey's curator insight, January 7, 2013 2:04 PM

Great content marketing focuses on the reader/viewer/listener. Before creating, think about your topic from their point of view. What would they like to know? How can they make it work for them? Aim to provide value and build relationships.

5 Types of of Snack Size Content for Social Media Marketing Worth Considering | Jeffbullas | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Content on social media networks Is vital to create engagement with your prospects and customers. There is a fast emerging trend for content to be written and produced in snack size bites. This could be video, text or visual mediums.

 

Our attention spans seem to be following the development path of micro-processors. Smaller and faster. 

 

The art of the long conversation, the slow contemplation of the future of the planet over a meal and prolonged human concentration have maybe become so endangered that we don’t value depth of thought and long form communication anymore.

 

Dinner parties could soon become 15 minute events....
