5. Content marketing is an umbrella term
for any marketing that involves the
creation and sharing of media and
publishing content in order to acquire
customers.
The basic premise is to provide some
valuable information or entertainment
(content) that stops short of a direct
sales pitch or call to action, but which
seeks to positively influence a
customer in some way.”

Notes de l'éditeur
Every personShort intro as to what their business isWhat is their roleWhat problem do you solveDo you do any content marketing? Example, good/bad?Do you use social media? Example, good/bad?Hi I’m Daniel, owner at Content Grasshopper, a content marketing consultancy I help businesses attract and retain customers by unpacking their expertise and turning it into content. I also use social media to help distribute content.
Does anyone know?Sharing information that solves customer problems or makes their life betterIt isn’t advertisingDifference – interrupting vs being helpfulGet two people to pretend to talk“STOP GET YOUR CRAPETS CLEANED” vs “10 Qualities of stain resistant carpet”Requires thinking like a publisherBut over time you build a massive online presencePositions you as an expertDemonstrates expertiseBuilds trust Amazing SEO advantages – fresh and original content – Google loves it
Does anyone recognise what these steps represent?Use someone’s business as an exampleContent helps at each stepSome content types better suited to certain steps than othersLast one is red as often overlooked.
It is a gardenIt needs nurturing, learningYou can’t wait for perfectThink pull/attract – not push/pull
Yes it takes timeBut so much can be achieved on a small budgetYou can outsource aspects if you like.It is very easy to track success compared to mass advertising
Hands up who thinks they use content marketing?Who uses email, articles, brochures, events?That is content.But huge benefits if you can focus on it betterThe difference between content and content marketing is that content marketing is designed to move people through the BDP

NBN = faster internet speedsAlso means ‘more’ people connectedAllows you to reach more peopleIt widens your businesses’ audience locally and internationallyAllows you to create more rich contentPeople can access it quicker and more cheaplyDeepens level of engagementMore people can join the conversationMore people can easily share your contentPeople can start to create content for you – use Brumbies example
Think about that for a second.Think about how we don’t just use one medium/screen at a timeThe content you can create way more engaging contentYou control the message/mediumQR codes?
What strikes you about the types of things being used when you consider the NBN?those tactics that don’t require fast internet are the most popular?The tactics that require super fast broadband will become more popular as the broadband becomes more available.There is an opportunity to build an audience through these tactics and get an early advantage.

Who thinks that being ont he first page of Google is important for their business?Videos are 53 times more likely to appear on the first page of search results as opposed to text based contentDoes anyone know what the second most popular search engine is?People type in “how to” questions.

Magazine planning has been perfected over decades of iteration, and the very best print-based titles leave a footprint that offers the ultimate blueprint from which you can create your perfect content strategy onlineTo begin to understand how this is useful to you and your business, we must first understand how the process for print works.Every title will have its own planning process, but all will roughly follow a process of templating regular articles and features so it becomes much easier at the sharp end when it comes to idea creation and tactical magazine creation.When a magazine redesign is carried out, the editor and creative team will think about how to lay the magazine out to ensure that it speaks to all the key personas that make up the audience, that it is structured to promote good content flow, and that it can be created with the resources available.This means creating a schematic wireframe, or flat plan, for the title so that those who are creating content have a structure to follow.That flat plan holds the key to their content strategy, and it is this that we want to tap into as digital platform owners.
