NETWORK
· Everyone connected; lack of content in the middle
· Easier to build so we play the numbers game
· Often about the get, rather than the give
· Never been so connected, but yet so disengaged?

COMMUNIT
Y· Like jam, content in middle creates stickiness
· Holds it together, so we go back for more
· People feel urge to participate, help and support
· Create real-life relationships that add value
· Provides brand lift, amplification, online visibility
· The human touch, more authentic and sincere

CONTENT CASCADES
Think
Content is an experience… not just words, fonts, code, design,
Content is what gives visibility online – if you think about it; its why search was invented
Your content marketing and the strategy behind it (if done well) will increase your visibility of your brand in front of those you want to connect with and help you build a community to help you connect with Talent
Content is not just about the web – you need to think past the web, it what your audience consumes on an device
Its the entire experience… But here is the thing…
Everyone is talking about content marketing… and what do they need to do to engage their audience…
When we talk about producing content… what are thinking? What do we see when we talk about content marketing
Are we creating great content
Are we really thinking about what we are producing….
Or….
Or are we just satisfied with what we are producing?
Being satisfied just isn’t anywhere near good enough. Less than 2% has 100 shares or more You need to think differently.
Content goes much, much deeper than that… it’s a commitment, not a campaign
It doesn't mean everyone has to write but it requires an interest and collaboration.
This is because content isn't just marketing it also culture.
Create a content culture in your teams. Its not a content strategy, it’s a people strategy a culture
Great content can attract great people and help you become digitally famous
We don't need more content. We need content that does more.
Content marketing isn’t a buzzword…
Its an ethos….if done properly it will help you differentiate you form your competition
It will help you….
This isn’t about fire and forget….
Its about having a strategy and tactics that’s is going to help you
Win the war for talent…
Space shuttle analogy…..
Its not about the 60 seconds to get to space
It’s the planning and preparations that’s gone in in the build up….
Have a clear mission
Simon Sinek Start with why….
Based on human biology and chemistry
Why – emotion – limbic part of the brain
What – rational – neo cortex
Apple v the Competition, other computer companies
Uncover your why….
Ask you people… why do you work here… simple question
Look out for answers that include ‘feel’ … I feel you help me….
The why game….
Go back in time
My research started in 384BC
Aristotle the scientist, a famous Greek Philosopher
Founding father of communication
Aristotle stated…
That human persuasion occurs with 3 ingredients
Ethos – persuasion through credibility and trust
Logos – persuasion through logic, facts and figures
Pathos – Art of appealing to emotions
Studies and research have shown most powerful ingredient….
Is the Power of Pathos – the power of persuasion through emotion
If we look at the high engaging stories, Hollywood films, presentations
The most successful are 65% Pathos…. They lead with emotion
Engage people through emotion and you will be more likely to engage and persuade them to listen and act how you want
Fast forward to now…. We have learnt more about the human brain in last 10 years….entire existence
As marketers – take what biology and neuroscience tells us – understand the human brain
Understand peoples behaviour, how to influence and persuade them
And what makes people tick we can aim to make emotional connections that resonate and
Connect through the power of personality....
Unlock the human algorithm
CX
Customer Journey
Touch points in you process – visualize or use other examples… whats our version
What are they feeling, thinking?
How easy was it to do business at that point – how effortless
What was my memory of that stage of the process
NPS scores – have you finger on the pulse
Make it matter, make it meaningful
Explain concept and nuroscience study behind it
Separate areas of the brain lighting up….
Why do you think it was….??
Coke works really harder through various content and different channels
The coke Christmas lorry
The Diet coke break…
You don’t ask for a Pepsi and coke – its JD and Coke!
Creating moments of positive experiences and forging memories in our minds…
Creating subconscious feelings towards how we feel and then think towards its brand (95% of our brains, decisions are done before we even thoughts about it!)
The MRI scans proves that feelings made the people in the second test choose coke – not taste first
Design for Happiness… http://www.uxbooth.com/articles/science-happy-design/
Design for Happiness… happy but not by accident…
good design and experience comes from principles of understanding the psychology of people…
what they feel and think through the process during each moment and the moment between the moments
The best digital experiences create happiness
Happiness correlates in the likelihood to return and recommend
Happiness creates positive sentiment and likely hood to share
Greater happiness, greater engagement, greater results
Happiness = ROI
And think about this in your digital experiences…. The moment between the moments
ASOS catwalk videos and if you dropout of checkout and they will call you up with a ‘call to action’
Tesco Opticians – people want to try glasses on – augmented reality has improved conversion
So what are you Moments between the Moments – identify them, where they?
In your world, this would be the candidate experience…
But for me this isn’t the ‘recruitment process’, on boardin - It’s the moment they touch your brand…
It not when they apply, when they fail… it’s the moment they touch your brand…
So what do we have to do…
We have to get to know those that we want to connect with…
Its not B2B or B2C its about People to people…
By getting to know the we can then create world class digital experiences
To help us to become digitally famous… and connect with people
But its not about identifying the masses
Behind every digital experience is a human being…. The keyboard is the biggest conversation killer….
Its about focusing and understanding the individuals…
This is about connecting with people
So to lead with empathy – we need to understand those we want to connect with
And in a digital world – you can never underestimate the power of the sticky note!
In the world of increasing technology, our ability to empathise is becoming more important
And be the difference between a one night stand, or relationship that matter and make a difference to you
You do that… by become the candidate you want to be – stand in their shoes
We have to understand who they are, their characteristics, their routines, what the like and dislike, the question they ask, the objection they have? Why do they want to change their jobs, why wouldn’t they?
Empathy mapping, as humans we are hard wired to avoid Pain and seek Pleasure
We want to avoid pain more than seek pleasure
Bride story… feel good…click into…
EXERCISE 2
Focus on the pain and pleasure sections
This will help identify things and areas that you can help you persona targets with
Will help you formulate ideas on how to connect with them…
but you more than anything, don’t want to feel crap!
It’s the hurt and rescue, the before and after
Go back in time… who are really successful Content marketers….
Publishers…. They are obssessd about what their readership wants…
What do they do….
They build an audience...
Explains channel…
Be in the channels your persona’s are
But they are obsessed with building subscriptions…
They work REALLY hard on building lists…..
96% people use email
67% use social
Email is a professional social channel
And MUST be part of your content strategy
Marketing automation
As marketer's we are obsessed with building lists!
We all have networks – how many of us here have networks?
How many of us here, continually give into the ALL THE networks you are part of?
Human mind is designed to work in small ‘tribes’ – we crave bonding, sense of belonging
Various studies in anthropology show humans can handle around a maximum of 150 relationships
But there are some out there; that we stick with, become loyal to – why?
Because of value, participation, given back, support, help, advice – a ‘real-life’ community giving back….

Become the expert in you space
Martin Lewis started 2003 as a forum to help people save money
He wanted to become the go to, expert in ‘helping’ people save money
Also, one clever thing – he provided content ready made for Journalists…. His target influencers
Influencing the influencers to accelerate and amplify his content along with his brand
He built content, added value, forums, make content valuable to the community and the influencers of the community
Sold for 2012 £87m – he doesn’t give a shit about saving money now!!
B2B marketers use their team as subject matter experts
Thought Leader Model – not just thought leaders, but life savers?
Process to leverage internal subject matter experts
Capture questions customers ask, answer them with content,
Could you get target influnencer to answer them – egojack!
Identify influencers – think about those that influencer your target persona’s
Charlotte Caldwell Story
Recruitment, In-house – we decided to target Employment law partners…
Explain why…
Tell story of how how…
Find the promoters within the community
Influence the influencer / Influencer marketing
A marriage, not a one night stand… don’t go for the quickie!!
Listen and learn to what you target influencers are interested in –
Good conversationalist, listen most of the time – then we know what to say
Humans are at the other end… be nice, interested in them,
Make friends before you need them
When we are married to someone – we demonstrate loyalty (its hard to break) –
Booster rockets either side of the shuttle – internal and external
but like all marriages you have to work at it –it take time and we have to put effort into it
Influencers can have big ego’s
Egojacking
Be a giver not a taker
This is like giving digital hugs…
Make them feel good about themselves – chemical Oxytocin is released

How to build you network of…
Thought leadership model
A brilliant way of engaging you audience with content is thought the power of
Telling a good (authentic) Story
Tell stories to engage your audience that resonate with them
Seth Godin - marketeers don’t need to create more stuff, we need to create better stories
If history lessons where taught in stories format – we’d remember them!
Who have been some of the greatest story tellers over the years….
Hollywood….
If we learn from those that have been telling stories for decades…
Hollywood film has 6, themes, formula's they follow to build emotional drivers in their audience
And they do it very well
The make the hero’s and the characters reflect those they want to connect with… click
Their customers….
In the films, they have characters that will mirror or resonate with the customer of the films they want to attract
Its why avengers had the female character
Aliens – sci-fi (typically a male dominant genre) – female lead – my wife loves Aliens (especially for hangover) days!
So, put the spotlight on your customers and you benefit by attracting those you want to engage with
This is backed up in science and neurology …we can get people on our same same wavelength
MRI scan from research by D Hassan – midn sync
When we tell stories both the storyteller and the listeners brains respond. It’s the way to activate part of our audiences brains so that they turn the story into their own idea and experience…
Our minds actually ‘synch together’… its know as neurocoupling We are hard wired to try and understand each other (scouser)
Stories activate parts of our brains that allows the listeners to connect and form their own ideas and experiences around the story being told
This is marketing’s very own ‘vulcan mind meld’
But we have to be very careful not to hit…..
In the NLP we have something called the critical faculty – it’s the human bullshit monitor
As marketers, we are the greatest bullshit trainers in the world
People see on average 10000 links a day... The average human attention span is 7 seconds – a gold fish has 8!!
Who remembers the billboard / xfactors / sky +
How many of you have the ‘good old staged corporate videos’ how often do you see videos about companies – who really watches !
Do you ever see a bad job advert – someone should write a crap advert and I reckon it would go viral!
Tell the truth… part of the human brain seeks the truth – this is how we are hard wired
What are your companies legends?
The greatest stories you want to tell?
The people stories that resonate with the feelings and thoughts of those you want ot connect with.
Your employees will have stories they tell about ‘why’ it is they work with you – set them free – become a brand that love to tell stories
People are x10 more likely to connect with people in the brand than the brand itself – what's you plan to leverage this?
The same for you suppliers – how do the agencies you engage – how much to they take time out to ‘get you’ so they can tell stories to help engage the talent and connect them with you?
Tell story of BAE persona workshop – magic happened
What are the people tales that must be told from your business
Vodafone work been doing recently on how to ‘Pitch the brand’ in the recruitment process – they gave me a load of numbers!
Virgin ‘Heart felt service
Virgin ‘Acts of random kindness’ part of virgin magic – stories of engineers
Remote control
They guy who though his virgin media wasn’t working
Breed , cultivate stories… but these are….Real-life stories
Marketing starts with HR…… Hows to say marketing should sit within HR
Need have a process to find and cultivate these real life stories, demonstrating….
It’s not always be closing (ABC) … it Always be helping (ABH)
It’s about help, not hype
B2B customers are making big decisions that can help or hinder their decisions
Buying cycle can be long… there for providing content is crucial
The currency of real networking is Generosity and Value – give your best stuff away
Its not the source of the content, its how valuable it is to the customer,
Help candidates, people with their day to day life's…
Graduate campaign, its not about the opportunity, it about helping them out with pain and pleasure
Create more value, for more people, more often…
So, when it comes to choosing…
They choose you….
Big content and visual or interactive assets can speak a 1000 words and
Entertain, inspire; educate and convince your candidates ….
Edutainment – those ‘types that get shared the most.
Convince people to ‘do’ what we want – case studies
Power of social proof – get customers / candidates to tell the story
Selling – social proof
In marketing with have buying funnels or
This a funnel shows the ‘considerations stages’ people go through
Passive candidates are at the see stage and the delight stage – delight is your twilight zone
A shelf full of ken and barbies just dying to be taken of the shelf!
See: Persona has problem they don’t know about yet, future challenge, Content that is of interest to a wide audience - Awareness
Think: Aware of problem, looking for answers and consideration - Content that is more targeted for a specific persona and addresses their needs with a product/service of yours
Do: Considering you solution. Content that is informative and direct. Usually with calls-to-actions that help personas take the next step
Delight: Already a customer, get them to buy more and amplify, interviews etc. Creating brand advocates - high amount of referrals, positive word of mouth both online and offline
Works in insurance
Wanted to work on SEO for the company website
Customer first approach - top 100 questions -
If you could have one insurance questions answered… what would it be?
Top 100 insurance questions answered in 100 days
Blogs, videos (youtube, and facebook 0 kinks to blog), seeded into a community that grew and became alive with opinions and thoughts
Community began to fed itself and add value – essentially answering questions on who the audience searches
We do the same with #AskPh
O&D story – same principles….
We need to focus on the emotional drivers that create ‘emotionally charged events’ in our brains
MRI scans show that with emotion we literally lighting up our brains
Think about it – when we share funny images, videos – it not the image we are sharing – its how it makes us feel (refer to shipped pants)
Various studies show the top 5 emotions we need to bring into our marketing and communications
Happy – joy, humour, affection – makes us want to share (cats, funny videos)
Sad – helps us to empathise – we feel the need to talk about it and share - think charity videos
Fear – Surprise, flight or fight response. When scared chemicals urge us to bond / tell people– get closer to people in the cinema)
Anger – create controversy, illicit a response, dare we say create an argument –
Anticipation – as humans we want to know the outcome – Hollywood does this to us all the time
We want to see the ending!!!! – think Breaking bad or 24 – we’ll just watch one more!!!
You need to build these emotions into your marketing and communications to candidates, you content, videos, people propositions
Sharing is how we pass on our ‘personality’
Create emotionally charge connections = people will care and share you content, amplify your brand and turn candidates into fans
BIG WARNING…..
Symptom of synthetic marketing / fabricated culture.

STUNT – not the feel good department
They made damn sure they caught every second of the experience on camera and even filmed the ‘making of it’ too.
I’m not being cynical, I’m demonstrating the corporate value of understanding how to manipulate human emotion.
I’m highlighting the value of building this into a plan, a process and an outcome that adds value to a business – otherwise what’s the point.

If these candidates where prospects – we’d work really hard in getting them to buy just once – then a second time!
Another way to look at it…
Under Armaour example - Getting them ready for the assessment..
By understanding the personas and people we want to connect
join and influence the conversation going on in your audiences hearts and minds
