Measurement Bar!
@GetCurata
14. Consumption Metrics!
“The most success I've had is looking at conversion metrics (downloads/registrations) and
website traffic (blog posts) from traffic sources. Either in aggregate (i.e., social vs. search. vs.
direct) or by a specific website, campaign, etc. By analyzing the source of conversions/traffic,
you can better understand what content resonates and what audiences are valuable to the
business, assuming you can track them through to a sale.”!
-Rob Yoegel VP Marketing Gaggle @RobYoegel !
@GetCurata
15. Caution: Downloads Tracked through
Marketing Automation!

automation
software does
not track asset
“views”.!

are excluded. !

16. Email Consumption!
Analytics Gotcha’s!
• Open rates are typically under-reported. Only
register on click through or image loads.!
• Click through rates are deceiving. Recipients
may read email without clicking through.!
@GetCurata
17. Marketing Pipeline Impact Metrics!
“At the end of the day why are we doing this? The answer is for more leads. If
the leads that are coming into your pipeline are more qualified based on the
engagement with your content and are closer to buying, then your content
strategy is working.”!

19. Sales Pipeline Impact Metrics!
“Revenue has to be the mother of all metrics. It's what we're here for, right?”!
-Doug Kessler Creative Director/Co-Founder, Velocity @dougkessler!
!
“What’s the most important content marketing metric?. . . How’s sales?
Ultimately content marketing drives sales success.”!
-David Meerman Scott Online Marketing Strategist, @dmscott !
@GetCurata
21. Operations & ROI Metrics!
“The power of content marketing goes far beyond generating leads. It is critical to measure the
increase in the Average Value per Customer to reflect content marketing's effectiveness in educating
buyers and differentiating the brand in order to increase purchase volume and earn long-term loyalty.
This additional profit margin generated helps to justify the ROI of higher-cost content that truly
improves the quality of the lead and the customer relationship.” !
