Why let the challenges of content marketing get in the way of winning more business when you don't have to...
When it comes to content marketing, content production is the biggest challenge for 44% of marketers
It isn't just a lack of time, not having the resource to produce enough content or being able to produce the kind of content that engages. Businesses and marketers also face the challenges of how to repurpose existing content, how they can create more visual content and how to tell better stories to connect with their audience.
Content marketing challenges don't end there. Once your content has been created, to be really effective, it needs to get in front of the right people, at scale. To win new customers, you need to reach out to new audiences.
Why miss out on the value of creating and sharing quality content when you don't have to?

Getting the best results from content marketing
One of the 3 top content marketing challenges for B2B marketers, according to a recent CMI survey, is producing the kind of content that engages.
For content marketing to be successful any content must be created with the needs, wants and motivations of the target audience in mind. Content that is seen as being valuable by your target audience will win them over, especially if it offers something new, different or an interesting perspective.
This is behind our thinking and has helped us create content to good effect.

Content creation
Content marketing - creating the right content
Creating and sharing quality content regularly can be difficult.
The top three challenges that most often get in the way of content marketing success are:
- a lack of time
- producing enough content
- creating content that engages
If you're experiencing any of these issues, and they're getting in the way of your content marketing success, we can help.
Landing pages
Getting that 'last click', the one that converts interest into action, is critical to most digital marketing campaigns.
That's why landing pages have be come increasingly important. These standalone web pages are designed with a single focus in mind - to help 'last click' performance and improve conversion rates.
Much of the best practice and advice on landing pages is centred on ‘practical’ issues such as landing page content, design and layout.
Observing best practice in terms of layout, design and content is crucial to landing page (and campaign!) success. However, the psychology of marketing - how we behave, think and feel when we see a piece of communication - can often get overlooked when creating landing pages. For a landing page to be really successful it needs to be put together with both the practical and 'emotional' / 'psychological' elements firmly in mind.

eBooks
eBooks are good for sharing content online in a consistent and easy to use format. Less 'weighty' and serious than a whitepaper for instance, they work best for bigger topics using 'easy to digest' content that helps solve a problem or shows readers how to do something. Embedded links and video, combined with relevant colourful images, help make the content interactive and engaging.
eBooks, versus longer content forms such as whitepapers, are:
- relatively simple to create (good when time is at a premium)
- highly shareable via social media, blog posts, email or your website
- good for interactive content - as links, videos and Calls To Action can be included

Brochures
In the digital age the term 'brochure' may seem 'old fashioned', but whether used online or offline, brochures are a good way of sharing more detailed information with target audiences.
Well put together brochures, that make good use of interactive features such as 'jump to' menus, help improve the overall user experience and can give a competitive edge, especially where competitors may rely only on the content of their websites to share information.
