CONTENT MARKETING

Engagement for better results

Content marketing starts with an outward focus. The goal is to attract prospects and generate leads by using editorial, graphics and video your target audiences want to know more about.

Rather than pushing products or special offers, content marketing works by offering high-quality, targeted material that is first and foremost helpful and useful. Successful content marketing follows 5 steps.

STEP 1

Set clearly defined goals


STEP 2

Create content to connect

Content marketing produces sustainable value and makes it easier for brands and customers to connect with one another. Through thought leadership pieces and sought-after information we help to generate new CRM contacts. 

  • Whitepapers
  • Blog posts
  • Webinars
  • e-books
  • Podcasts
  • Infographics
  • Case studies
  • Articles in industry publications
  • Event presentations
  • Surveys
  • Video

STEP 3

Attract prospects to your content

The content marketing process thrives on adding new contacts to the CRM database so you can email them. Options for attraction include advertising in print and search engines, press releases, social media and sponsored listings.

Once contacts are in the CRM, email marketing — as part of marketing automation system — is used to nurture these clients and prospects in the sales funnel.
