Notes de l'éditeur
- Before I start I want to understand your needs in interests in the room. Who in the room is regularly creating content?Who has enough content to fuel your marketing programs?What are some of the content challenges you are facing?Today’s session takes what we do with clients over a 12 week engagement and distills it into some practical advice for you.To make the session even more practical we will take a look at some real life examples and with you help demonstrate how to get to better content.
- Let’s define better
- You are already very good at talking about yourself with credentials, product info, about us.To double check just look at your site navigation. It likely includes “our products”, “our services”, “about us”, “our news”.And customers appreciate it because you are a pretty cute kid.But as we talked about last year at elevate 2010 it is not just about you, it is about what your customers want.Think of the cocktail party guest who only talks about himself. He is never that interesting!
- Practical content, described in their words, and useful information as they go through the stages in their decision making process.
- Aligned to the stages in their decision making process from defining the problem or opportunity, to evaluating alternatives, to negotiating and committing to a decision.

Real customer behaviour skims documents looking for the subject they are interested in.Publish your repurposed content in light formats like posts, checklists, 1-pagers.
