Content
B2B content marketing is a golden opportunity for a brand to demonstrate how much value it has to offer, in addition to its indisputable relevance to prospects and customers. Most B2B content, however, is a bit drab.
We help B2B brands to stand out from the crowd through content programmes that not only delight their audiences but also spurs valuable conversation between sales teams and prospective customers.
Our content process
Immersion
An effective B2B content marketing programme starts with defining the audience, what success looks like and ultimately scope.
We start this process with our clients to agree and document
- The brief.
- Business and marketing objectives, including KPIs.
- Subject matter experts who can contribute their insights to the programme.
- Budget and timings (great content often takes more time and money than you think!)
Insight gathering
Great B2B content needs great insight to make original, helpful and relevant to the customer.
To find those often elusive insights we go through a discovery process that involves:
- Audience mapping and personas (either existing or developing new).
- Topic salience, competitor and keyword analysis – ensuring we find relevant gaps to fill.
- Stakeholder interviews – tapping into the often underutilised internal expertise.
Content strategy
We develop B2B content strategy that’s founded on the insight we’ve uncovered.
At this stage in the process, we work with you to create:
- A unifying theme – something that’s different and memorable.
- A map of planned content, aligned to the buyer journey.
- A plan of how we’ll distribute and amplify the content – through owned, earned and paid channels.
Content creation
Once the plan’s agreed, our content team then create the assets for the content marketing programme – according to the schedule and budget.
For each piece of content we develop:
- A content plan, based on insights gathered and inputs from subject matter experts.
- Copy, design, animation/video – depending on the asset in question.
- SEO optimisation and keywords.
