………………………………………….………..……………..……………………………………………..……..




    •   A pragmatic 6 step approach to start with content marketing. For most marketers content
        marketing is intangible. This paper makes content marketing very easy to understand and it
        guides you through the basic principles behind the philosophy.
    •   This paper is based on research. InSites Consulting conducted a qualitative study among
        27 international companies to talk about the integration of social media. Content marketing
        was one of the topics. Further, an in-depth analysis of 1,000 Facebook brand pages and
        300,000 tweets about brands are used to write this paper. Finally, another source of
        inspiration was a quantitative study among 400 senior marketers in the US and the UK.
    •   The results of this research are translated into both strategic and pragmatic insights that
        should help companies to better understand and implement content marketing.

Management
Observe
Listen to reactions on your content. See what people share with each other. By observing which
stories share better than others, you learn how to improve your content creation process. Install
real-time monitoring tools to follow up on your content marketing.

    There are three success parameters to use:

     1. Reach of content sharing:
        How many people are consuming your content?
     2. Sentiment of content:
        Are people positive, neutral or negative about your content?
     3. Impact of content:
        Is the opinion of people towards your company improving due to your content?
Facilitate
Facilitating goes beyond adding a share button to your content. It implies helping your
existing community to spread your content. Make sure everything you produce is available in
a digital form so people who like it have the opportunity to share it.
Facilitating also implies the influencers’ management. Know who the influencers of your
industry are. Connect with them. The moment you have relevant content, you should
proactively share it with these people. If the quality of your content is high and the way it is
presented is great, they will be more than happy to share it with their network. This enables
you to reach out to new contacts and thus achieve the objectives of your content marketing
strategy.
Join
The last step in managing your content conversation is actively joining in. Most companies are
good at being responsive in their conversation management. Responsive implies that
questions and remarks towards the content are answered positively, openly and
professionally. Being responsive is great, but it is not sufficient. Joining the conversation also
implies being proactive. When people in your network are talking about certain topics that fit
with your content marketing, you can approach them and share your content proactively. The
only way to implement this successfully is if your content is extremely relevant for these
people. If the relevance is average or low, it will feel like spam.

              However, we advise to use different layers of KPI setting:


              • KPIs with direct impact on the business objectives of your company. In most
                cases, this will be linked to financial performance. KPIs to use are lead generation or
                direct conversion to sales.
              • KPIs with direct impact on the marketing objectives of your company. Content
                Marketing can help in boosting awareness of your brand(s). It can help to increase the
                overall brand identification with the brand(s).
              • KPIs related to conversations. Conversations are the driver of consumer decision
                making, thus the driver of business growth. An important KPI for your content marketing
                is measuring the number of conversations, the sentiment of conversations and the
                impact of conversations.

InSites Consulting conducted a qualitative study among 27 international companies to talk about the integration of social media. Content marketing was one of the topics. Further, an in-depth analysis of 1,000 Facebook brand pages and 300,000 tweets about brands are used to write this paper.

This content (regular planning, it helps to use three content small and large pin-pricks) is primarily shared via online channels, but can be streams: content updates, content supplemented by offline media. A project can also be supported by means of a projects and content campaigns. campaign (see below). Projects aim the spotlight at a certain aspect of your company. Campaigns Campaigns are shorter and more intense than projects, and are frequently supported with offline media. This content is designed to increase awareness of your company or to announce important news (e.g. a new product). All available media are employed to force a specific short-term result (usually increased awareness and sales).

And last but not least, remember to talk about your products. You can your content with their network. That is even use content which compares your products with those of your competitors, as the only way you can structurally grow long as you do so objectively. the business through content. Make the content easy to share Make sure all your content is available in a digital format. This allows people to share it spontaneously with their friends through social networks and e-mails. Next to that, make sure that you connect 'share' buttons to all your content pieces. The philosophy is simple: create easy opportunities for your target audience to follow and share everything you say.

This is one way to do so, but it is also possible to personalise credibility. Credibility is one of the reasons why Obama is now living in the White House. He didn’t get there simply by using a mass of statistics. • Emotional Let the consumers feel what you are trying to say. If you want to stop teenagers from smoking, telling them it is bad for their health will be less effective than telling them it gives them halitosis. • Stories Nobody remembers adverts; everybody remembers a good story. Right from our earliest years, we were told stories which will remain with us for the rest of our lives. Remember that when you are communicating with your consumers. Try to keep them enthralled. The average classroom presentation by a student contains 2.5 statistics each minute, but only one in ten attempts to tell a story. Yet if you ask the students in the audience what they remember from all these presentations, 63% say that they remember the stories, whereas just 5% remember the statistics. To make it even more concrete, we conducted a unique study as part of the preparation for this paper. We collected all the conversations from 1,000 Facebook pages of 200 global brands. In total, we analysed about 770,000 conversations about these brands. We did a similar exercise for Twitter. Heath & Heath, Made to stick; why some ideas survive and others die, 2007.
  • 18. In this instance, we selected a random week in June 2011 and analysed the tweets for 300 brands. This gave us about 246,000 conversations. Our insights with regard to the most frequently shared material were gleaned from the data-mining of these million brand-related conversations. These conversations were a mix of spontaneous conversations about brands and content shared by brands. It gives you the full overview of what people share.

They talk about where they work and give their followers a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes. This content is re-tweeted at a higher rate than the average.
  • 21. Observe Listen to reactions on your content. See what people share with each other. By observing which stories share better than others, you learn how to improve your content creation process. Install real-time monitoring tools to follow up on your content marketing. There are three success parameters to use: 1. Reach of content sharing: How many people are consuming your content? 2. Sentiment of content: Are people positive, neutral or negative about your content? 3. Impact of content: Is the opinion of people towards your company improving due to your content?
  • 22. Facilitate Facilitating goes beyond adding a share button to your content. It implies helping your existing community to spread your content. Make sure everything you produce is available in a digital form so people who like it have the opportunity to share it. Facilitating also implies the influencers’ management. Know who the influencers of your industry are. Connect with them. The moment you have relevant content, you should proactively share it with these people. If the quality of your content is high and the way it is presented is great, they will be more than happy to share it with their network. This enables you to reach out to new contacts and thus achieve the objectives of your content marketing strategy.
  • 23. Join The last step in managing your content conversation is actively joining in. Most companies are good at being responsive in their conversation management. Responsive implies that questions and remarks towards the content are answered positively, openly and professionally. Being responsive is great, but it is not sufficient. Joining the conversation also implies being proactive. When people in your network are talking about certain topics that fit with your content marketing, you can approach them and share your content proactively. The only way to implement this successfully is if your content is extremely relevant for these people. If the relevance is average or low, it will feel like spam.
  • 25. 6. Measure The last step is setting up a measuring system to carefully monitor your content marketing KPIs. Knowing which KPIs to measure depends mainly on the objectives you set with your success content strategy. However, we advise to use different layers of KPI setting: • KPIs with direct impact on the business objectives of your company. In most cases, this will be linked to financial performance. KPIs to use are lead generation or direct conversion to sales. • KPIs with direct impact on the marketing objectives of your company. Content Marketing can help in boosting awareness of your brand(s). It can help to increase the overall brand identification with the brand(s). • KPIs related to conversations. Conversations are the driver of consumer decision making, thus the driver of business growth. An important KPI for your content marketing is measuring the number of conversations, the sentiment of conversations and the impact of conversations.

Successful organization content- content exploits current trends and events. marketing ready, you need to take account of the following • Always take account of the context. The atmosphere, place or manner in which your film/advert is viewed will determine to matters: a large extent whether it is appreciated or not. Even the best food loses its taste in bad company or a grotty restaurant! Try to take account of the context of your target group. If they are likely to view your material on a mobile application, don’t forget this when putting together your story line. The better you are at managing the context, the greater the impact of your content will be. • Do you have in-house writing or video talent? Content scores heavily if it is well written and well presented. Do you have employees who show talent in either or both? If so, they can be useful partners for your content creation. If you don’t have natural talents, try to encourage the most suitable members of your team to help, providing extra training if necessary. • Don’t forget external content. You don’t need to create all the content yourself. There are hundreds of interesting articles, reports and videos already in existence, many of which may fit your story perfectly. If you come across information of this kind, share it with your target group. It will confirm their impression that you are an expert in the field. Install a number of practical tools, such as Google Reader, to help you with your content selection. • Connecting with influential people within your category: it really helps to share your content on a larger scale if you are connected with influencers and opinion leaders in your category. Develop a program to connect with them and get to know them. See how you can help them and they will help you in return.
