If 2012 was the year of mobile, 2013 is most definitely
the year of content marketing.
In the year 2013, marketers will break through with
innovative content-marketing strategies.
…The incredible emphasis being placed on (content
marketing) these past six months - not to mention the
rising investment in this area - puts it at the top of the
trends list.

• It is aimed at the user to enhance their experience in your area of
expertise

• Content is a value exchange between you and the consumer
• Content marketing has value in its own right

“This shouldn‟t be the Damascene moment
it appears to be for so many businesses”

Why is content a big deal now?

MEDIA FRAGMENTATION &
DEMOCRATISATION

“The digital revolution has not just arrived,
it has well and truly settled in.
Traditional communication channels have
mutated, fragmented and diversified to create
a spectrum of media experiences that give
consumers unparalleled options and
freedom of choice.”
Kate Connolly, Universal McCann London

Digital channels are like kids… fun to play with, but the more you have,
the more there is to do – and as they develop… they start to talk
back…
![Page 24: Content marketing – the latest fad or the future of a discipline?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554bcd50b4c9058f6c8b4877/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“A genuinely always-on approach to marketing
isn‟t powered by channel expertise, it‟s
powered by content. Taking a „single of content‟
means an editorially-driven approach, a content
calendar and more than just copy to keep
people interested over time.”
Robin Bonn, Seven
![Page 25: Content marketing – the latest fad or the future of a discipline?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554bcd50b4c9058f6c8b4877/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CONVERGENCE

The rise of „content marketing‟ has also been fuelled by the realisation
that actually a lot of the success of, say, SEO or social media or email
marketing or most forms of marketing, isn‟t about “doing more SEO” or
“investing in social” but is about creating great content that people will
want to read, link to, talk about and share.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CONTENT
STRATEGY
![Page 34: Content marketing – the latest fad or the future of a discipline?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554bcd50b4c9058f6c8b4877/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Having creative advertising and using commercials to
draw in an audience has worked for Coca-Cola for
many years. However, the landscape has been
rapidly changing and consumers want more than just
a
30-second advertisement. As the first video explains,
Coca-Cola is moving from “creative excellence” to
“content excellence.”
COKE AND CONTENT
![Page 35: Content marketing – the latest fad or the future of a discipline?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554bcd50b4c9058f6c8b4877/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Coca-Cola calls this high-quality content “liquid
content.” They explain it as content that is “so
contagious, it cannot be controlled.”
To move into content excellence, Coca-Cola wants
to use conversations. They want to create stories
that are dynamic and can be expressed through
“every possible connection.” This relies on quality
content, and technology to power highly relevant
content delivery to every channel.
![Page 36: Content marketing – the latest fad or the future of a discipline?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554bcd50b4c9058f6c8b4877/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Coca-Cola‟s 70/20/10 plan:
• 70 percent of their investment will be “low risk”
• 20 percent of content will be innovative and
engaging
• 10 percent is their “high risk” content

WITH A CONTENT FOCUSED APPROACH –
INTEGRATION JUST HAPPENS
![Page 49: Content marketing – the latest fad or the future of a discipline?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554bcd50b4c9058f6c8b4877/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
“The traditional agencies‟ promise of
„integration‟ just hasn‟t been met - a seamless
customer experience and narrative might be
achieved around a single campaign, but not
from the brand‟s wider point of view. These
jarring disconnects mean that consumers are
still unengaged and frustrated.”
