Why are we here today?


CONSUMERS ARE CREATING, CONSUMING & SURFACING MORE CONTENT

Consumers are more familiar with self-publishing tools



And they’re creating content that often outperforms brands’



And then there’s this whole curation thing

Consumers are loving it


So how can brands join in?

Three key pillars1 // CONTENT DEVELOPMENT2 // SYNDICATION + DISTRIBUTION3 // OPTIMIZATION.

Content development should include stock & flow.

1 // Content Development

Develop a content marketing framework.

What this means for your brand:


1A // A brief pause to dissect “stock” & “flow”


STOCK“Stock is the durable stuff. It’sthe content you producethat’s as interesting in twomonths (or two years) as it is today.”

FLOW“Flow is the feed. It’s the

posts and the tweets. It’s thestream of daily and sub-daily

updates that remind peoplethat you exist.”

2 // Build in cultural relevance to leverage earned media


Calvin Klein partnered with FashGIF to create GIFs of their new collection


2 // A well-defined voice can also help make content sticky


TONE LANGUAGEPERSONALITY CONTENTYou’ll want to make sure you’re authentic – but by outlining personality traits

and acting more like a person and less like a

corporation, you’re giving your community a reason to

engage.

It’s not just what you say

and how you say it, but what

you share. Defining your

brand’s social tone of voice

will help set standards for

content creation and

curation.

Snarky Bold Irreverent Your Cooler, Funnier Wingman Style Guru Perky Down To Earth

Tone may change based on content or audience, but those changes should be nuance – An overarching tone will set the stage of

how you behave.

Personality and tone can be

interpreted differently.

Setting linguistic guidelines

will help all content creators

have specific rules they can

check themselves against.

BUT REMEMBER...


Tying it all back together.


CHANGE AGENTDigital platforms are empowering consumers

to create, curate and share more content. As a result, content is becoming central to

how people interact online – with each other and with brands.

MARKETING IMPACTContent is a powerful way to connect with people

in the same ways they are already connecting with each other. Successful programs will create

cultural relevancy + open the door to conversations with their customers.

CHALLENGESContent marketing is an evolving space that is

not so easily defined. It’s not just about creating great content – it’s about making sure you deliver it in the right environments, to the

right audience, at the right time.

NEXT STEPSDevelop a content strategy that addresses the three key pillars: content development;

architecture and optimization.

Let’s be on the same team.


What’s your word?

Let’s be on the same team.
