What elevates one piece of content to become 'excellent' vs. another that is just plain old vanilla 'good'?
Some people would argue that it's based on audience feedback. Some would say the content has to have met or included best practices - technical merit and delivery of the mechanics. And still others would say return on the investment, (in other words did the piece of content deliver the desired results), is the only thing that matters. What are your thoughts?
In a recent blog post by one of my partners, Blake Eckert, related to the 2018 marketing trends to watch, he mentioned content marketing is still among the top 3 priorities cited by B2B organizations. Did you know that 45% of marketing budgets are spent on content? Not advertising, not tradeshows. But rather generating valuable content for their target audiences. To put this in perspective, that represents several billion dollars in annual spend.
Traditional B2B marketing has focused heavily on corporate communications and product marketing. So many organizations are still trying to understand what it means to focus on content marketing.
