Just like we recently updated our Digital Marketing Strategy Guide for 2014, we have also done the same to our Content Marketing Strategy Guide. This time we have slimmed it down to a much more manageable and bite-size document of just 11 slides. We hope you find it as useful as the last content marketing guide we produced over a year ago but do let us know if you have any feedback.

- 7. Your ‘brand’ is the promise and expectations that reside in a customer’s mind, which are recognized and connected with every time they come into contact with one of your services or products. Your brand is not something that is solely yours, and nor can you entirely control it. Instead, your brand is the mutually created essence of your company, built by yourselves and your audience largely through the sharing of content. This means each time a customer interacts with your company; there is the potential for your brand to either be strengthened or weakened depending on that interaction. That interaction with your brand could be through advertising, your website or even a phone conversation. This means you need effective brand management and sufficient brand awareness at every outlet your company has because: your brand affects all of your content. A good brand: builds companies, develops a strong sense of identity and allows trusted relationships to build between businesses and their clients, and a good brand ensures you stand out in today’s increasingly saturated marketplace.

Think beyond your keywords to create something new and exciting If you have created a piece of content in one medium, for example a video, see if you can take it further, turn it into a blog post, info graphic or image. Another way to come up with original content is to talk to your own team or better still your own clients. Find out what pieces of your content were successful and why, this is the plan, test, review formula. Generate content based on audience feedback such as comments and especially questions To find original content, look for inspiration that’s the opposite, keep an eye out for the gaps in the search results that do appear.
