60 Content Marketing Predictions for 2015 | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From contentmarketinginstitute.com - December 16, 2014 10:45 PM
For the seventh consecutive year, I’m proud to announce our annual eBook of content marketing predictions (you can also view our forecasts for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014).


Special thanks to our friends at Marketo for making this year’s eBook possible.

My favorite part about these predictions is that I’m usually wrong (as you know). Despite this, I don’t mind going out on a limb again this year. 

For the record, here are my (soon-to-be-failed) predictions for 2015....

How Are World's Leading Consumer Brands Leveraging Social Media

How Are World's Leading Consumer Brands Leveraging Social Media | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.dazeinfo.com - November 19, 2014 3:11 AM

L2 conducted a study to assess the digital performance of 382 leading consumer brands in the world, drawing them from eight verticals across 17 platforms and concluded that they are active, on an average, on seven social platforms each.


The researchers also found out that presence across lots of social platforms does not guarantee greater engagement from fans. It was also observed that local networks are capable of delivering better results in areas where they have a strong social presence instead of bigger sites like Facebook and YouTube....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

World's leading consumer brands have got different strategies and focus on various social media sites. But is it working in favour? A report with valuable insight for marketers.

Dean Ryan G. Martin's curator insight, November 19, 2014 6:02 AM

A must-recommended read. These leading brands have already built a powerful offline advertising campaign. As expected and as by the help of social media, they must have attracted hundreds of new leads every month. 
Darcy Bevelacqua's curator insight, November 19, 2014 4:57 PM

Social media strategy needs to be aligned to your business goals. Be sure to focus on doing  a few things well before you expand. Not all social media is appropriate or helpful -choose based on your target audience and objectives.

From www.marketingprofs.com - December 16, 2014 10:50 PM

Among the key findings of the survey:

  • Blogs and newsletters are most valued by B2B buyers early in the sales cycle, when they are starting to learn about a topic and evaluate products/vendors. 


  • Whitepapers are most valued in the beginning and middle parts of the sales cycle, when buyers are attempting to understand a problem.
  • Videos, webinars, and detailed tech guides are most useful toward the end of the cycle, when buyers are considering specific vendors and finalizing selection.

The 9 Essential Elements of any Content Marketing Strategy

The 9 Essential Elements of any Content Marketing Strategy | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From blog.thesocialms.com - December 7, 2014 9:39 PM

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.

My guess is that some of these companies do not even know whether they are effective or not. They cannot say what “effective” really is in regard to content marketing without goals, metrics etc. It would certainly help with effectiveness of content marketing to have a strategy at hand.

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

Desiree Mitcham's curator insight, December 8, 2014 11:55 PM

I thought a higher percentage of companies would think their content marketing is actually effective. I found it interesting that making companies don't set up goals or objectives and ways to measure their marketing.

Content Marketing Vampires: What’s Sucking the Life Out of Your Content?

Content Marketing Vampires: What’s Sucking the Life Out of Your Content? | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.business2community.com - October 19, 2014 11:41 PM
Not only are you hectically hurrying to close out the year on a good note, you’re also pressured to produce your budgeted marketing plan for the year to come. It can often feel like the month itself is draining your very life force… but maybe it’s not just the month. Maybe, you have something stalking you from the shadows… Maybe something is steering you down dark paths you’d normally avoid… Maybe… you have a vampire in your midst, and nowhere would it be more apparent, than in your content.

Your content, you see, is a reflection of the lifeblood of your organization. It carries all the qualities, characteristics, and attributes that make your organization unique and valuable to your target audience. Certain dark forces, however, can eat away and this energy in your content. These marketing vampires can manifest themselves in multiple forms, so to swiftly slay these evil spirits, here are 5 of the most common vampire varieties along with their most effective weaknesses.
Jeff Domansky's insight:

Scary, what content marketing challenges we face.

A Scalable Content Marketing Strategy Can Help Your Business Acquire More Customers

A Scalable Content Marketing Strategy Can Help Your Business Acquire More Customers | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.firmology.com - August 11, 2013 1:34 AM

Defining Strategy Ahead of Time can Save You A Lot of Time in the Future


Any solid startup strategy will include a plan for customer acquisition and systems which are built to scale. Success will make team growth inevitable, but it can be devastatingly difficult to rebuild a system that’s reached critical mass.


However, entrepreneur and venture capitalist David Skok has found that the success of your company relies on two factors, regardless of any external forces:

- Finding a scalable way to acquire customers

- Monetizing customers at a higher rate than your cost of customer acquisition.


A successful content marketing plan can seamlessly scale with other projects, but it will be much more difficult to gain traction online in the first place if you delay getting started....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

By not developing a content marketing strategy, your just putting off the inevitable and placing yourself farther behind your competition.
