A story is not a dead end. It evolves over time. Earned media content extends the initial story and creates added value and impact. WHY CONTENT MARKETING COMPANIES ARE MEDIA The behaviour of media consumers is changing. Media that fits within our tra- ditional understanding no longer exists. Companies have become part of a grow- ing group of publishers that includes users as well as the traditional media companies. 1 THE STORY MUST FIT In a world of transparent communica- tion, companies need a “corporate story“ to align one or more core messages to the communication. A company’s reputation highly depends on whether the factual basis, the core messages and the compa- ny’s communication strategy are coherent. This is nothing new, but in the times of the connected customer, any misstep will be uncovered very quickly. 7 PUBLISHING BECOMES MANDATORY Consumers not only accept content mar- keting, they demand it. They want trans- parent information, customized content specific to their interests and answers to their questions – which is a big challenge for businesses. The customer expects to be able to search, find and create content. Whoever fulfills this need will succeed. 6 CONTENT CREATES TRUST If companies succeed in creating awareness among their target audience through com- pelling content, this can become a powerful marketing weapon. It wins the customer through added value and strengthens the brand position. Content marketing comes alive through relevant content offerings that are useful and findable. Useful and relevant content will be shared and the user will act as a multiplier for the company’s messages. 5 CONVINCE INSTEAD OF PERSUADE People do not want to be persuaded by messages that are only one-directional; they want to be convinced by content. To achieve that, companies must reconsider their approach – by listening to their au- dience to find out what their problems are and how they can help create solutions for them. If a company acts in this manner, they can be a true solution provider. 4 MEDIA IS DIALOG Through social media, a new culture of dialog has arisen – not only between us- ers, but also between companies and consumers. Communication has become transparent, opinions are now public without being filtered, controlled or edit- ed. Companies cannot prevent this, how- ever, they can influence the discussion by delivering their own content. 3 RELEVANCE IS KING In order to convey a relevant message to their audience, companies have to deliver the right information via the right chan- nels. Solutions to a problem must reach the target group where they are looking for it. Corporate Communication must be multi-dimensional, as the everyday life of the audience already is. 2 SOURCE: PUBLICIS SOURCE: PUBLICIS SOURCE: PUBLICIS A VISUAL GUIDE TO ARTICLE OPTIMIZATION [email protected] = 79% ARTICLES ˤ = 74% SOCIAL MEDIA ʊ = 65% BLOgS ɶ = 63% ENEwSLETTERS Ʉ = 58% CASE STUDIES Ȱ = 56% SPEEChES AND EVENTS Ȉ = 52% VIDEOS Ǿ = 51% whITE PAPERS nj = 46% wEBINARS/wEBCASTS Ķ = 31% MICROSITES Ķ = 31% PRINT MAgAzINES Ĭ = 30% TRADITIONAL MEDIA ú = 25% RESEARCh REPORTS Ü = 22% BRANDED CONTENT TOOLS È = 20% PRINT NEwSLETTERS ¡ = 16% EBOOkS ¡ = 16% PODCASTS ¢ = 15% MOBILE CONTENT £ = 14% DIgITAL MAgAzINES d = 10% VIRTUAL CONFERENCES

Every story has its own distribution plan to reach the right target audience, using the combined power of paid, owned and earned media.

A story is not a dead end. It evolves over time. Earned media content extends the initial story and creates added value and impact.

WHY COntent marketingCompanies are media

The behaviour of media consumers is changing. Media that fits within our tra-ditional understanding no longer exists. Companies have become part of a grow-

ing group of publishers that includes users as well as the traditional media

companies.

1The STory muST fiT

In a world of transparent communica-tion, companies need a “corporate story“ to align one or more core messages to the communication. A company’s reputation highly depends on whether the factual

basis, the core messages and the compa-ny’s communication strategy are coherent.

This is nothing new, but in the times of the connected customer, any misstep will

be uncovered very quickly.

7Publishing becomes

mandatory

Consumers not only accept content mar-keting, they demand it. They want trans-parent information, customized content specific to their interests and answers to their questions – which is a big challenge for businesses. The customer expects to

be able to search, find and create content. Whoever fulfills this need will succeed.

6Content Creates trust

If companies succeed in creating awareness among their target audience through com-

pelling content, this can become a powerful marketing weapon. It wins the customer through added value and strengthens the brand position. Content marketing comes

alive through relevant content offerings that are useful and findable. Useful and relevant content will be shared and the user will act as a multiplier for the company’s messages.

5ConvinCe instead of persuade

People do not want to be persuaded by messages that are only one-directional;

they want to be convinced by content. To achieve that, companies must reconsider their approach – by listening to their au-

dience to find out what their problems are and how they can help create solutions for

them. If a company acts in this manner, they can be a true solution provider.

4MEDIA IS DIALOG

Through social media, a new culture of dialog has arisen – not only between us-

ers, but also between companies and consumers. Communication has become

transparent, opinions are now public without being filtered, controlled or edit-ed. Companies cannot prevent this, how-ever, they can influence the discussion by

delivering their own content.

3Relevance is king

In order to convey a relevant message to their audience, companies have to deliver the right information via the right chan-nels. Solutions to a problem must reach the target group where they are looking

for it. Corporate Communication must be multi-dimensional, as the everyday life of

the audience already is.
