This document summarizes a webinar presentation about using content marketing strategies to break through clutter and inform audiences. It discusses common challenges like limited budgets and reaching target audiences. It then outlines strategies for effective content marketing like creating long-form, in-depth content that answers user questions to rank highly in searches. It emphasizes focusing on relevance over keywords and readability. Finally, it suggests steps for organizations like aligning content and editorial missions with corporate goals and setting aligned KPIs and budgets.
In this report, marketing expert Rebecca Lieb explores why marketers need to focus on customer-centric marketing strategies that rely more on providing valuable content and less on media buys.
By synthesizing current research, industry trends, and the thoughts of 17 marketing influencers, the report gives you an informed perspective on how online marketing is changing—and what you should do to keep your audience engaged.
Welcome to the Enterprise Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends: Insights for 2022 report. This report looks back on the last 12 months and includes expectations for 2022.
The research suggested that, due to lockdowns and work-from-home mandates, content marketing piqued the interest of many who were previously unaware of its power. With more people than ever spending time online, content marketing presented a prime opportunity to get and stay in front of audiences.
As in the previous year, nearly one in three enterprise marketers said their organization was extremely or very successful with content marketing. These marketers, our “top performers,” have certain characteristics that set them apart from their peers (see page 4). A few of the biggest things they do are to differentiate their content and use content collaboration/calendaring/workflow tools.
No matter how successful they are at content marketing, most respondents plan to invest in video in 2022: 72% of all enterprise respondents forecast investment in this area followed by investment in events (62%), paid media (59%), and owned-media assets (55%).
And, yes, challenges remain. The top challenge, which is the same as it was two years ago, is internal communication between teams/silos (57%). It indicates a pressing need to formalize content operations in enterprises that have not yet done so.
Contextual Campaigns: Content, Context & Consumer Connections in a Post-Scree...Rebecca Lieb
Contextual marketing provides content and experiences tailored to a user's immediate context, such as location, time, weather, and purchase history. It offers benefits like increased ROI, more effective campaigns, precise targeting, and a 360-degree view of customers. Retailers and brands are adopting contextual technologies like beacons and integrating data to learn more about customer journeys. Contextual marketing is a differentiator and can foster loyalty while generating new data sources and revenue streams for organizations.
Greetings Technology Marketers,
Welcome to our annual Technology Content Marketing: Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends—North America report.
I’m pleased to announce the percentage of technology marketers that reported high levels of overall content marketing
success increased from 24% last year to 31% this year—another 50% reported moderate success. Like last year, nearly 70%
said their organization is much/somewhat more successful with content marketing compared with one year ago.
For a glimpse into how the top-performing content marketers operate, see the chart on page 4. You’ll note that these
marketers report high levels of commitment; document their content marketing strategy; are focused on building audiences;
and are given ample time to produce content marketing results, among other distinguishing factors.
Technology is rapidly changing the processes around content marketing. We look forward to watching how things progress
and reporting back to you again next year.
This document discusses challenges with content marketing and technology. It notes that many organizations do not have a formal content strategy and are unsure how to measure success. There are also opposing priorities between marketing and IT teams - marketing wants to move fast while IT focuses on stability. The document proposes a layered approach to content and experience management with four layers - awareness and introduction, engagement and relationships, intelligence and insight, and shared values and expectations. It provides examples of companies applying this approach and emphasizes the need for cross-functional collaboration between marketing and IT.
Throughout 2012, video marketing for B2B marketers undoubtedly showed an upward trend in both effectiveness and popularity, and most industry observers expect this to continue into 2013 and beyond.
In this one-hour webinar, analysts Andrew Jones and Charlene Li share how insights can be gleaned from social media to: 1) Identify and better understand prospects and customers throughout the customer lifecycle, and 2) Deliver targeted, personalized messages and experiences to them across channels.

Welcome to the Manufacturing Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends with Insights for 2022 report. This report looks back on the last 12 months and includes expectations for 2022.
This year’s research suggested that the pandemic awoke a sleeping giant – content marketing, that is. Without in-person events and face-to-face selling, many who had previously paid little attention to content marketing suddenly became aware of its power. More content marketers got a seat at the table and helped keep many businesses on their audiences’ radar. Some discovered new audiences altogether.
Videos and virtual events/webinars were big over the last 12 months with the manufacturing marketers we surveyed. In addition, 85% expect continued investment in video in 2022, making it the top area of predicted investment.
Yet manufacturing marketers continue to face content marketing challenges within their organizations: 51% said they are challenged with creating valuable content instead of sales-oriented content as well as with overcoming the traditional marketing and sales mindset. Fifty percent said they are challenged with accessing subject matter experts to create content. If manufacturing marketers can overcome these challenges, they’ll improve their odds of achieving greater content marketing success in the coming year.
In this report, marketing expert Rebecca Lieb explores why marketers need to focus on customer-centric marketing strategies that rely more on providing valuable content and less on media buys.

Report content marketing performanceContent Marketing Performance: A Framewor...Rebecca Lieb
Despite a surge in adoption of content marketing and of organizational content strategy, measuring the impact of content on the business is complex and fraught with strategic, organizational and tool challenges. Because the content and analytics markets are still fairly nascent, there are few to no standards that adequately capture the impact of content on the business, whether from a reputation, revenue, operational or brand perspective.
Content strategists and digital marketers struggle to select the right metrics and frequently opt for measuring volume rather than impact when impact metrics are too complex to measure, or the required data or tools are not available.
This report lays out a framework for measuring the impact of content across the business, and includes a set of case studies and recommended metrics to enable content strategists to approach measurement at the outset, rather than at the conclusion, of their content development initiatives.
This How-To Guide will outline the key elements of an infographic, how infographics benefit marketers, and provides an action plan on how to create infographics that will become valuable marketing tools.

Content, Connectivity & Convergence: Sorting Out ComplexityRebecca Lieb

Content Methodology: A New Model for Content MarketingRebecca Lieb
For many organizations, content marketing is at a crossroads. If you’re concerned that your organization’s content marketing isn’t as effective as it could be, this webinar is for you.
This presentation reveals why leading organizations are adopting a content methodology, a process to continuously improve the effectiveness of a company’s content across the enterprise.
A content methodology exists when an organization establishes specific, well-defined objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs) for content marketing, and embraces a culture of constantly learning and iterating through each round of publishing.

Sales and marketing have the same goal: Both teams want to drive revenue by attracting and retaining happy, high-quality customers.
But getting everyone on the same page is harder than it looks. All too often, teams end up going it alone, working in silos and wasting huge amounts of time on repetitive, unnecessary projects that don't provide the needed return on investment.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Cameron Caswell, Brand and Marketing Sr. Manager at Synopsys, recognized that sales enablement would benefit her content team just as much as it would benefit her organization's salespeople. Cameron's success story is all the proof we need that alignment is a prerequisite for the future of great marketing.
Welcome to our annual Technology Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends report, based on our latest annual content marketing survey conducted in July 2020.
The study showed that technology marketers, in the throes of adjusting to business changes presented by a global pandemic, put more emphasis on using content marketing to generate demand and leads than they had the previous year. They also were looking more closely at conversion and marketing qualified lead (MQL) metrics to track the performance of their content.
These insights suggest that tech marketers were increasingly called upon to use content marketing for demand and lead generation. It makes sense, then, that their use of virtual events (83%) increased by nine percentage points over the previous year, as virtual relationship-building and selling took a front seat. In addition, livestreaming video finally took off (one-third of all tech respondents—and 53% of those working in large companies—reported using it).
It’s too soon to tell if these will be lasting shifts. Priorities are likely to change again as restrictions caused by the pandemic ease up. We look forward to exploring these topics in our next round of annual content marketing research.
B2C Content Marketing: 2013 Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends—North AmericaMarketingProfs
MarketingProfs produced B2C Content Marketing: 2013 Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends (North America) in partnership with the Content Marketing Institute. Our goal was to give you a clear view of the State of B2C Content Marketing. Among the questions this report answers: What's really happening? What are your biggest content marketing challenges? What slice of the budget will be dedicated to content next year, and what social channels are most relevant?
For three years we’ve looked at B2B content marketing trends, and this year, we are excited to bring you these compelling B2C findings.
According to our research, both B2B and B2C marketers are still struggling with the effectiveness of their content marketing. So while we are happy that more marketers are engaging in content marketing to attract and retain customers, we also realize we have a ways to go.
The survey found that more organizations are taking a strategic approach to content management. 81% of respondents said their organization views content as a core business strategy, up from 72% last year. However, fewer organizations are able to extract meaningful insights from data and analytics compared to the previous year. While proficiency with content management technology increased, integration, training and communication issues remain barriers to fully utilizing these tools.
B2C marketers are increasingly strategic in their approach to content marketing. While over half still have small content marketing teams, many outsource content creation. Livestreaming video saw a significant increase in use among B2C marketers compared to the previous year. Analytics tools, social media publishing, and email marketing software are the most commonly used technologies to support content marketing.
The Response Rates of Personalized Cross-Media Marketing CampaignsAaron Corson
The document discusses response rates from personalized cross-media marketing campaigns. MindFireInc, a leader in marketing intelligence software, was named the 20th fastest growing software company in the United States for the second consecutive year in 2008 and 2009. The document examines response rate data from MindFireInc's database, other industry reports, and case studies of campaigns run by Proven Direct and for Anchor Bank and Cardinal Stritch University.
Many organizations struggle with content—the surprising volume needed, the lack of a central strategy, the huge investment in time and resources, inconsistent quality or voice, cross-silo logistics, new channel paralysis, or the seeming lack of attributable ROI. When harnessed correctly, however, and successfully connecting content to business and brand goals, content can be a valuable working asset build relevancy and grow your business.
The document provides information about Yorke Communications, a digital and content marketing agency. It discusses Yorke's services such as content creation, social media management, and design. It also notes that Yorke has over 120 customers and a team of writers, designers, and digital marketing specialists. The document highlights that Yorke helps customers generate better business leads and ROI through quality, relevant content delivered through best practices. It also summarizes comments from Yorke's CEO about the importance of content marketing and its ability to generate leads and build brands.
The 2014 Benchmark Report on B2B Content Marketing and Lead GenerationStarfleet Media
The document summarizes the key findings of a research report on B2B content marketing and lead generation. Some of the main findings include:
- Companies' primary objectives for content marketing are new customer acquisition and raising brand visibility.
- Few companies report being very successful in achieving their content marketing objectives.
- Ebooks, case studies, and third-party research are the most valuable types of content.
- Most content is gated, requiring registration, but some of the most effective content like infographics and case studies are often not gated.
OVERVIEW: THE STATE OF CONTENT MARKETING IN THE UK
Greetings Marketers,
Welcome to our second annual report on the content marketing practices of UK marketers. In this report, we provide comparisons of for-profit UK, North American, and Australian marketers. One of the key findings is that UK marketers (48%) consider themselves to be more effective at content marketing* when compared with their North American (41%) and Australian (33%) peers.
Among the other findings:
Only 42% of UK marketers say they have a documented content strategy; however, 10% of those answering this question were unsure. This is the highest rate of uncertainty we saw around this question when comparing responses across continents.
76% of UK marketers are producing more content than they did one year ago, compared with 72% of North American and 81% of Australian marketers.
UK marketers (89%) use Twitter more often than their North American (84%) and Australian (79%) peers do; however, like those peers, they rate LinkedIn highest in terms of effectiveness.
UK marketers allocate more of their total marketing budget (31%) to content marketing when compared with North American (29%) and Australian (27%) marketers.
UK marketers are fairly challenged in regard to producing enough content (46%) and producing engaging content (44%). However, they use more content marketing tactics on average than their peers across the globe, and they use those tactics more frequently.
That—in addition to their confidence in their effectiveness—leads us to conclude that content marketing is alive and well in the UK.
On with the content marketing revolution!
The document summarizes the results of a study on content marketing practices in Australia. Some key findings include:
- 52% of Australian marketers have a documented content strategy compared to 43% in North America and 42% in the UK.
- 81% of Australian marketers increased their content production over the last year more so than peers in other countries.
- Australian marketers rate eNewsletters as the most effective tactic and LinkedIn as the most used social media platform.
- 69% of Australian marketers plan to increase their content marketing budget over the next year.

It recommends using templates or outlines to structure the business plan and including an executive summary, company details, product information, market analysis, operations, management team, growth strategy, financing needs, projections, and appendices. The goal is to present the information concisely and focus on the business model and value proposition to attract investors or clarify the vision for employees.

Organization structure in international businessMandeep Raj
The document discusses different types of organizational structures used in international business. It describes vertical differentiation as determining centralization vs decentralization of decision-making. Centralization means decisions are made at headquarters level while decentralization means local subsidiaries make decisions. Horizontally, structures are designed based on functions, products, geographic regions, or a matrix. Functional structure groups by business functions. Divisional structures group by international business, products, or geographic regions. The matrix structure combines functional and divisional forms to balance global integration with local responsiveness.

As we look ahead to 2014, we expect the pace of change in marketing to only continue to accelerate. It seems like you can’t leave your desk these days to grab a cup of coffee without coming back to another change–a new marketing software entrant, an acquisition announcement, a major shift in consumer behavior, or an advance in marketing analytics. However, there are a few broader trends and patterns that have emerged. Here are 5 trends we believe will continue to have a significant impact on digital marketing in the new year.
Content strategy is more important than ever in today’s healthcare climate.
For years, many traditional healthcare companies have treated content as an afterthought, creating an archive of disconnected messages without strategic business purpose.
At Prophet, we see healthcare companies revisiting their own content strategies today. Some are discovering disjointed messages and inconsistent experiences across websites, events, pitch materials, social channels and traditional advertising. Others have struggled to realize or identify the impact of the resources they dedicate to content today.
As the demand for relevant content grows, and as its production expands across different pockets of an organization, the difficulties associated with content management and direction can grow as well.
This is our approach to crafting strategic content for the healthcare industry, including some case studies.

The Death of Marketing & The Rise of the Content Engineer 2schulmanthorogood
The document discusses how customer behaviors and demands are changing, requiring companies to adapt their marketing approaches. It outlines the rise of user-generated content and social media as important conversations that companies need to listen to. It then provides guidance on how to become a "content engineer" by understanding goals, creating a content strategy, using data analytics, developing relevant content, distributing content widely, and continuously measuring and optimizing efforts.
Welcome to our annual Enterprise Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends report. Here we present the findings from enterprise marketers (those who work in organizations with 1,000+ employees) who replied to our 11th Annual Content Marketing Survey.
At the time of the survey, content marketers had just made it through the first half of 2020. Most reported that their organization made quick changes when the pandemic hit, most notably by changing their targeting/messaging strategy, adjusting their editorial calendar, and changing their content distribution/promotion strategy. The majority (57%) expected to spend about the same on content marketing during the second half of 2020 as they spent in the first half (17% expected a decrease).
Team size hadn’t changed drastically compared with the previous year (48% said it stayed the same); yet, another 35% reported an increase.
Overall, one-third of the enterprise respondents reported high levels of content marketing success. These top performers said the top two factors contributing to that success in the last 12 months were “the value our content provides” (79%) and “website changes” (62%).
Looking forward, 74% of respondents felt the pandemic would have a major or moderate long- term impact on their organization’s overall content marketing success. It will be interesting to see how enterprise marketers rise to the challenges in 2021.

28. The Spectrum of Content Marketing Strategies
Small Budgets
• Strategy is planned and executed by part-
time internal staff
• Focus is on creating limited high-impact
assets
• Internal publishing is limited; staff curates
content from larger sources to create a
unique perspective on disease and treatment
• Staff identifies a large network of publishers,
from which to draw content
• Strategy, mission, and analytics are reviewed
twice per year
Big Budgets
• Strategy planned and executed by full-time staff
with support from outside experts.
• Focus is on creating frequent, semantically dense,
long-form content
• Multi-month publishing plan w/multiple items in
varying stages of development
• Long-form publishing with 2x+ weekly social posts,
linking, and offline events
• Reviews:
• Monthly: strategy & mission alignment
• Semiweekly: analytics and KPIs
• Weekly: publication plan & executables
28
29. Steps to CutThrough the Clutter: Get Focused!
1. Align & document your corporate mission.
2. Document a content marketing strategy & editorial mission statement; align the editorial mission with your
corporate mission.
3. Enumerate KPIs that align with your corporate and editorial mission statements.
4. Set a budget that is sufficient to achieve your corporate and editorial missions. If you don’t have enough
budget, scale back your goals and expectations. Be honest!
5. Inventory your existing content and ensure alignment with the editorial mission statement. Burn content that
is not closely aligned. Invest in upgrading content that is highly aligned.
6. Create a publication plan to support your editorial mission. Execute on the publication plan. Focus on high-
quality content that can be reused across channels.
7. Meet on a weekly or semiweekly basis to monitor progress on the publication plan and KPIs.
8. Adjust the publication plan to remain aligned with the editorial mission throughout the year.
9. Stop doing what doesn’t work and double down on the most effective content.
29
30. TakeAways
• Visitors and search engines are becoming more sophisticated.
• There is an imperative to improve the quality and density of content, if you want to break through the
clutter. You have to be measurably better than your competitors and have a plan for promoting your
content.
• The most direct route to improving your content is to develop and document an editorial mission and a
content strategy. Then, develop and execute a persistent plan to implement that strategy over time.
Invest here first! Don’t create anymore content until you have a plan!
• Often, less is more. If the content doesn’t fit into the content strategy and editorial mission, burn it.
• Focus your resources on improving the quality and density of the content that most closely aligns with
the needs of your primary target audience.
• Create budgetary alignment between your corporate and editorial mission.
Establish KPIs that are relevant and accurately measure progress on your documented goals.

From Searchmetrics:
It is not surprising that with the increase in the word counts of online documents, the average number of keywords per page has also increased. The interesting point, however, is that this does not seem to apply to the very top search result positions. Here, too, the top 5 form an exception, as the percentage of Web sites with the keywords in the body is much lower than for the following rankings for SERP 1.
From Searchmetrics: The percentage of proof terms and relevant terms in the top 30 is relatively high and has even increased on last year.
High-ranking pages are much more holistic.
The content of the analyzed top 30 search results contained an average proportion of relevant terms of 49 percent.
