the measurement issue

The Problem with
Measurement
We can’t really know
more than we already
know.

2 What we know isn’t all
that illuminating.
23. We have all the data we
need to measure
content consumption
and influence

24. Data isn’t the missing link.
The missing link is the interaction
and experience our buyers are
having with our content.
© i-on interactive, inc. All rights reserved • www.ioninteractive.com
25. So, let’s take
a different view of this
measurement issue.
© i-on interactive, inc. All rights reserved • www.ioninteractive.com
26. Static content provides
limited opportunity for
engagement, insights
& effectiveness.

35. But what can a buyer’s journey look like with
interactive content?
36. Early Stage
A visitor clicks on a tweet and engages with an interactive
infographic. We know every element he interacts with.
38. At This Point We Know…
STATIC INTERACTIVE
© i-on interactive, inc. All rights reserved • www.ioninteractive.com
We know a visitor VS
viewed the
infographic.
We don’t know if there
was any specific
infographic content
that interested him.
We know which
stats the visitor
interacted with.
39. Early Stage
The visitor is retargeted with specific banner ads that pick up
where his affinity for the infographic left off. He clicks!
40. Early Stage
He lands and engages with an interactive white paper.
We know every element he interacts with.
41. © i-on interactive, inc. All rights reserved • www.ioninteractive.com
We Know
STATIC INTERACTIVE
We know a visitor VS
hit a landing page.
He may or may not
have converted. If he
converted, we know
he downloaded the
white paper. We don’t
know if he read it.
We know which
sections of the white
paper content the
visitor interacted with.
49. © i-on interactive, inc. All rights reserved • www.ioninteractive.com
We Know
STATIC INTERACTIVE
We know he VS
downloaded an
assessment
document.
We don’t know if he
read it or if it just sat
on his desk collecting
dust.
We know how
Bill answered each
assessment question
and his ultimate score.
We know his pains!
53. © i-on interactive, inc. All rights reserved • www.ioninteractive.com
We Know
STATIC INTERACTIVE
VS We know the
solution Bill
configured based
on his specific
situation.
We know Bill

product brochure
& hit a solution
page on our
website.
54. Mid Stage
Bill shares the solution builder results
with his colleagues.

Bill bubbles up to sales as an active lead. Sales sees Bill’s
responses in the CRM and reaches out to begin a dialog,
starting at his point of interest.
57. © i-on interactive, inc. All rights reserved • www.ioninteractive.com
We Know
STATIC INTERACTIVE
VS We know Bill’s
specific ROI case.
1.
We know
Sales sent an email.
2.
We know Sales
captured call
notes in the CRM.
60. Late Stage
Bill & sales discuss set up, using an implementation
configurator together.
61. © i-on interactive, inc. All rights reserved • www.ioninteractive.com
We Know
STATIC INTERACTIVE
VS All the
implementation
details, timelines,
stakeholders,
roles input in the

planner.
We know sales
and the buyer
talked about
implementation
details.
64. Late Stage

78. Content – defined as all information
components produced by marketing to
communicate ideas and transfer knowledge to
buyer and seller audiences – plays a critical role
in driving demand. But when the type of
content created does not align with buyers’
and sellers’ needs, it fails to support the
types of conversations that are required to
move the buying process forward.
