MASTERING THE
BUY-IN CONVERSATION
ON CONTENT MARKETING:
THE ESSENTIAL
STARTER KIT
Over the past several years, marketers have made tremendous strides with content marketing
and as a result are better at communicating with their audiences.
CONSIDER THIS:
• 86% of B2B marketers report that their organizations are now using content marketing,
and 70% of them are creating more content than they did one year ago.
• More than two-thirds of the marketing leaders we interviewed as part of Content Marketing
Institute’s Executive Forum research are seeing their entire marketing departments
restructuring to address content marketing needs.
But despite high adoption rates and a commitment to the discipline, not all marketers think their content efforts are as
effective as they could be. While many aspects of content marketing can present challenges, there is one barrier that is
certain to impede progress: lack of executive support. If executive management does not believe in content marketing on
the whole, it will be incredibly difficult to get the right groups involved, get specific tactics approved, or get the permission
to experiment, learn from mistakes, and make essential adjustments that can lead to greater success.
To help you get the support you need, we’ve compiled a starter kit of essential talking points and support statistics you
can use as the basis of your buy-in conversation. Of course, like all statistics, the data points we’ve shared here simply
reflect information at one given point in time. But a library of stats that point to similar trends can help build a pretty
convincing case, so feel free to mix and match the points that are most relevant to your company’s situation.
As you embark on your mission to evangelize content marketing to the C-suite, we hope you will find this book to be an
invaluable resource for building and enhancing your content marketing program.
Yours in content,
Joe
INTRODUCTION
Joe Pulizzi
Founder
Content Marketing Institute
To get your executive team’s support you need to help
them understand what content marketing is — 
as well as what it isn’t.
For instance, Content Marketing Institute (CMI) uses the
definition at right, which reflects how the discipline
has evolved over time — from the mere “creation and
distribution” of content to a formal business discipline.
While this definition sets the basic parameters, it
does not account for the myriad considerations and
decisions that enable an organization to reach its
business goals through successful content marketing.
CONTENT MARKETING, DEFINED
Content marketing is a
strategic marketing approach
focused on creating and
distributing valuable,
relevant, and consistent
content to attract and retain
a clearly-defined audience —
and, ultimately, to drive
profitable customer action.
SOME KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR CONTENT MARKETING ARE:
Audience
identification
 targeting
Attainable
goals
Editorial
processes 
procedures
Metrics,
analysis 
reporting
Branding
CONTENT MARKETING, DEFINED
CONTENT MARKETING SUCCESS FACTORS
Getting buy-in is critical, but it’s just one of a number of factors that have been
found to give a content program its best chances for success:
CONTENT MARKETING SUCCESS FACTORS
○ Having executive buy-in/vision
○ Taking a longer-term view
○ Employing a collaborative and integrated approach
○ Assembling a dedicated content marketing team/leadership
○ Having the ability to demonstrate content marketing
○ ROI/value
○ Fostering a culture of change and openness
○ Having the ability to tap into
subject matter expertise
With content’s high adoption rates, great potential to provide measurable
business benefits, and enterprise-wide appeal, a strategic content marketing
program is virtually essential to staying competitive in today’s marketplace.
WHY BUSINESSES
NEED CONTENT
MARKETING
70% of B2B marketers are
creating more content than
they did one year ago.
(Content Marketing
Institute, 2015)
CMOs at the largest
technology companies
report that building
out content marketing
as an organizational
competency is a critical
initiative — second only
to measuring ROI.
(IDC, 2014)
Businesses that are not prepared to
deliver quality content will likely be
operating at a competitive disadvantage.
WHY BUSINESSES NEED CONTENT MARKETING
PIECES OF CONTENT
27 MILLION
ARE SHARED EVERY DAY
(AOL/Nielsen, 2013)
In 2015, 48% of B2B marketers
have a content marketing strategy,
and 35% of B2B marketers have
documented their strategy.
(Content Marketing Institute, 2015)
Four out of five marketing leaders
have integrated content into their
advertising programs, typically as
part of their brand messaging.
(Content Marketing Institute
Executive Forum Research, 2014)
Brands are learning how content can
strategically be used to unite and support
the efforts of sales, marketing, and other
departments.
WHY BUSINESSES NEED CONTENT MARKETING
48% OF MARKETERS SUPPORT
3 TO 5 BUYING STAGES WITH
DEDICATED CONTENT, AND
52% OF MARKETERS SUPPORT
2 TO 4 ROLES AND BUYER PERSONAS
WITH DEDICATED CONTENT.
(LinkedIn Technology
Marketing Community, 2014)
Consumers today expect content that is useful, is customized to their needs and
interests, and adds value to their online experience. If your business doesn’t provide it,
they’ll seek out your competitors that do. Given this insatiable appetite, producing
the right information — and delivering it at the right time — is a critical step in
ensuring that your brand makes it to consumers’ consideration sets and helps them
take action.
HOW CONTENT MARKETING
ADDRESSES CONSUMER
GOALS
Content is integral to supporting loyal,
trusting relationships between brands
and consumers.
HOW CONTENT MARKETING ADDRESSES CONSUMER GOALS
ABOUT A COMPANY AFTER READING
CUSTOM CONTENT, AND 90% FIND
FEEL MORE POSITIVE
CUSTOM CONTENT USEFUL
82% OF CONSUMERS
(Demand Metric, 2014)
60% of people are inspired
to seek out a product after
reading content about it.
(Demand Metric, 2014)
HOW CONTENT MARKETING ADDRESSES CONSUMER GOALS
MILLENNIALS ACTUALLY EXPECT BRANDS TO DEVELOP
CONTENT FOR THEM, WITH 80% WANTING TO BE
DIRECTLY ENTERTAINED THROUGH CONTENT MARKETING
(Edelman, 2012)
Content is becoming increasingly
essential for targeting younger
demographics.
Interesting content is one of the main reasons
people follow brands on social media.
(Demand Metric, 2014)
61% of consumers say they feel better about,
and are more likely to buy from, a company
that delivers custom content.
(The Content Council, 2011)
Companies that implement a strategic content marketing program can have more
effective lead generation, SEO efforts, and internal teams and processes. And, as
the discipline continues to evolve, enterprising businesses have an opportunity
to experiment, distinguish themselves, and help set the best practices that other
businesses will follow for years to come.
HOW CONTENT MARKETING
IMPACTS ORGANIZATIONAL
GOALS
Over 50% of marketers that
curate content indicate
that it has increased their
brand visibility, thought
leadership, SEO, web traffic,
and buyer engagement,
and 41% indicate that it
has increased the number
and/or quality of their
sales-ready leads.
(Curata, 2014) 

CONTENT MARKETING ADOPTERS
THAN NON-ADOPTERS (2.9% VS. 0.5%)
IS NEARLY 6X HIGHER FOR
WEBSITE CONVERSION RATE
(Aberdeen Group, 2014)
Content marketing techniques are
helping businesses achieve
measurable marketing results.
HOW CONTENT MARKETING IMPACTS ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS
Some major brands are even
starting to prioritize content
marketing over their paid
advertising initiatives.
HOW CONTENT MARKETING IMPACTS ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS
KRAFT ESTIMATES THAT IT GENERATES THE EQUIVALENT
OF 1.1 BILLION AD IMPRESSIONS A YEAR AND FOUR TIMES
AS MUCH ROI THROUGH CONTENT MARKETING
THAN THROUGH EVEN TARGETED ADVERTISING
(AdAge, 2014)
Content marketing can be implemented at nearly any budget point.
However, allocating sufficient resources and developing a documented strategy
are paramount to achieving optimal success.
HOW MUCH SHOULD
YOU BUDGET FOR CONTENT
MARKETING?
The B2B marketers who rate
themselves to be most effective
at content marketing allocate an
average of 37% of their budget to
content, while those who feel they
are least effective only allocate 16%.
(Content Marketing Institute, 2015)
Spends are rising as content
marketing continues to approach
its tipping point.
HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU BUDGET FOR CONTENT MARKETING?
THE AVERAGE B2B ORGANIZATION SPENDS
28% OF ITS MARKETING BUDGET
ON CONTENT, AND THE AVERAGE
B2C ORGANIZATION SPENDS 25%
(Content Marketing Institute, 2015)
There seems to be a correlation
between content marketing
effectiveness and the amount of
budget allocated to the discipline.
HOW ARE COMPANIES ALLOCATING THEIR
CONTENT MARKETING BUDGETS?
There are three “buckets” into which spending generally falls:
1CONTENT CREATION: People, processes, and technology to
create and produce the content and materials
2CONTENT DISTRIBUTION AND MANAGEMENT: Social channels,
software, and agency costs around distributing content
3CONTENT PROMOTION: PR, ads, and other paid channels used
to promote the content being created
On average, organizations allocate 50% of budgets to creation,
25% to management and distribution, and 25% to promotion.
(Content Marketing Institute Executive Forum Research, 2014)
HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU BUDGET FOR CONTENT MARKETING?
Content marketing can help your organization be more proactive in how it
addresses both consumer and business needs, and be more responsive to
behavioral shifts and emerging trends. With encouraging signs of growth across
the industry and bullish attitudes from marketing leaders, there’s never been a
better time to enable your owned media channels to start working harder for your
business with a strategic content marketing program.
FUTURE
EXPECTATIONS
78% OF CMOs SEE
CONTENT AS THE
FUTURE OF MARKETING
(Demand Metric, 2014)
The future of
content marketing
looks bright, and

continued industry
growth abound.
56% of leading business bloggers are planning
to hire additional resources within the next year.
(Curata, 2014)
93% of companies surveyed plan to maintain or
increase their investment in content creation in
the upcoming year
(Economist, 2014)
FUTURE EXPECTATIONS
Increasingly, brands
are demonstrating a
commitment to enhancing
the quality and value of
the content they provide
to consumers.
84% of B2B marketers and 85% of B2C
marketers are actively looking to gain a better
understanding of their audience, or plan to
do so in the coming year.
(Content Marketing Institute, 2015)
FUTURE EXPECTATIONS
88% OF B2B MARKETERS AND 89% OF
B2C MARKETERS ARE EITHER CURRENTLY
FOCUSING ON CREATING MORE ENGAGING/
HIGHER-QUALITY CONTENT, OR PLAN TO
DO SO IN THE COMING YEAR.

Mastering the Buy-In Conversation on Content Marketing: The Essential Starter Kit

  • 1. MASTERING THE BUY-IN CONVERSATION ON CONTENT MARKETING: THE ESSENTIAL STARTER KIT
  • 2. Over the past several years, marketers have made tremendous strides with content marketing and as a result are better at communicating with their audiences. CONSIDER THIS: • 86% of B2B marketers report that their organizations are now using content marketing, and 70% of them are creating more content than they did one year ago. • More than two-thirds of the marketing leaders we interviewed as part of Content Marketing Institute’s Executive Forum research are seeing their entire marketing departments restructuring to address content marketing needs. But despite high adoption rates and a commitment to the discipline, not all marketers think their content efforts are as effective as they could be. While many aspects of content marketing can present challenges, there is one barrier that is certain to impede progress: lack of executive support. If executive management does not believe in content marketing on the whole, it will be incredibly difficult to get the right groups involved, get specific tactics approved, or get the permission to experiment, learn from mistakes, and make essential adjustments that can lead to greater success. To help you get the support you need, we’ve compiled a starter kit of essential talking points and support statistics you can use as the basis of your buy-in conversation. Of course, like all statistics, the data points we’ve shared here simply reflect information at one given point in time. But a library of stats that point to similar trends can help build a pretty convincing case, so feel free to mix and match the points that are most relevant to your company’s situation. As you embark on your mission to evangelize content marketing to the C-suite, we hope you will find this book to be an invaluable resource for building and enhancing your content marketing program. Yours in content, Joe INTRODUCTION Joe Pulizzi Founder Content Marketing Institute
  • 3. To get your executive team’s support you need to help them understand what content marketing is —  as well as what it isn’t. For instance, Content Marketing Institute (CMI) uses the definition at right, which reflects how the discipline has evolved over time — from the mere “creation and distribution” of content to a formal business discipline. While this definition sets the basic parameters, it does not account for the myriad considerations and decisions that enable an organization to reach its business goals through successful content marketing. CONTENT MARKETING, DEFINED Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action. SOME KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR CONTENT MARKETING ARE: Audience identification targeting Attainable goals Editorial processes procedures Metrics, analysis reporting Branding
  • 4. CONTENT MARKETING, DEFINED CONTENT MARKETING SUCCESS FACTORS Getting buy-in is critical, but it’s just one of a number of factors that have been found to give a content program its best chances for success: CONTENT MARKETING SUCCESS FACTORS ○ Having executive buy-in/vision ○ Taking a longer-term view ○ Employing a collaborative and integrated approach ○ Assembling a dedicated content marketing team/leadership ○ Having the ability to demonstrate content marketing ○ ROI/value ○ Fostering a culture of change and openness ○ Having the ability to tap into subject matter expertise
  • 5. With content’s high adoption rates, great potential to provide measurable business benefits, and enterprise-wide appeal, a strategic content marketing program is virtually essential to staying competitive in today’s marketplace. WHY BUSINESSES NEED CONTENT MARKETING
  • 6. 70% of B2B marketers are creating more content than they did one year ago. (Content Marketing Institute, 2015) CMOs at the largest technology companies report that building out content marketing as an organizational competency is a critical initiative — second only to measuring ROI. (IDC, 2014) Businesses that are not prepared to deliver quality content will likely be operating at a competitive disadvantage. WHY BUSINESSES NEED CONTENT MARKETING PIECES OF CONTENT 27 MILLION ARE SHARED EVERY DAY (AOL/Nielsen, 2013)
  • 7. In 2015, 48% of B2B marketers have a content marketing strategy, and 35% of B2B marketers have documented their strategy. (Content Marketing Institute, 2015) Four out of five marketing leaders have integrated content into their advertising programs, typically as part of their brand messaging. (Content Marketing Institute Executive Forum Research, 2014) Brands are learning how content can strategically be used to unite and support the efforts of sales, marketing, and other departments. WHY BUSINESSES NEED CONTENT MARKETING 48% OF MARKETERS SUPPORT 3 TO 5 BUYING STAGES WITH DEDICATED CONTENT, AND 52% OF MARKETERS SUPPORT 2 TO 4 ROLES AND BUYER PERSONAS WITH DEDICATED CONTENT. (LinkedIn Technology Marketing Community, 2014)
  • 8. Consumers today expect content that is useful, is customized to their needs and interests, and adds value to their online experience. If your business doesn’t provide it, they’ll seek out your competitors that do. Given this insatiable appetite, producing the right information — and delivering it at the right time — is a critical step in ensuring that your brand makes it to consumers’ consideration sets and helps them take action. HOW CONTENT MARKETING ADDRESSES CONSUMER GOALS
  • 9. Content is integral to supporting loyal, trusting relationships between brands and consumers. HOW CONTENT MARKETING ADDRESSES CONSUMER GOALS ABOUT A COMPANY AFTER READING CUSTOM CONTENT, AND 90% FIND FEEL MORE POSITIVE CUSTOM CONTENT USEFUL 82% OF CONSUMERS (Demand Metric, 2014) 60% of people are inspired to seek out a product after reading content about it. (Demand Metric, 2014)
  • 10. HOW CONTENT MARKETING ADDRESSES CONSUMER GOALS MILLENNIALS ACTUALLY EXPECT BRANDS TO DEVELOP CONTENT FOR THEM, WITH 80% WANTING TO BE DIRECTLY ENTERTAINED THROUGH CONTENT MARKETING (Edelman, 2012) Content is becoming increasingly essential for targeting younger demographics. Interesting content is one of the main reasons people follow brands on social media. (Demand Metric, 2014) 61% of consumers say they feel better about, and are more likely to buy from, a company that delivers custom content. (The Content Council, 2011)
  • 11. Companies that implement a strategic content marketing program can have more effective lead generation, SEO efforts, and internal teams and processes. And, as the discipline continues to evolve, enterprising businesses have an opportunity to experiment, distinguish themselves, and help set the best practices that other businesses will follow for years to come.
