The Agile Leader: Adaptability

The Agile Leader: Adaptability | Business and Marketing | Scoop.it
There is a well-known Chinese proverb that says that the wise adapt themselves to circumstances, as water molds itself to the pitcher. Perhaps at no other time in recent history has adaptability been more important than it is now. Adaptability – the ability to change (or be changed) to fit new circumstances – is a crucial skill for leaders, and an important competency in emotional intelligence.

Content Marketing From Start to Finish (a B2B Marketer's Journey)

Content Marketing From Start to Finish (a B2B Marketer's Journey) | Business and Marketing | Scoop.it

The task of marketing to a B2B buyer is complex, because you, the seller, must understand the buyer’s questions (AND the questions of other ‘influencers’ the main buyer relies on consulting) throughout the buying journey.

 

Many B2B marketers seem to respond by complicating their language and message by wrapping it up in jargon laden corporate speak, especially in the middle and lower funnel, when they retreat quickly to the safety of “product speak” instead of focusing on getting the sequence of messaging right.

 

Here’s what a typical content marketing journey is like for B2B marketers (gleaned from experience doing content marketing for ourselves and our clients):

How and WHEN Links Help or HURT Your SEO.

How and WHEN Links Help or HURT Your SEO. | Business and Marketing | Scoop.it

Links are Born Equal
Some links come from pages that don't help your SEO (described on the left). Some links REALLY help your SEO (those from PR4 or above websites) and others hurt your SEO (links from spammy neighborhoods or link farms).

Post Panda a link from a PR8 or PR9 website could hurt to if it is all alone. A single link with the proper anchor text from such a highly ranked website must have social signals. Without Facebook likes, shares and other links that PR9 site will stick out like a sore thumb.

Measuring the Impact of Your Content Marketing Strategy: The Pyramid Approach

Measuring the Impact of Your Content Marketing Strategy: The Pyramid Approach | Business and Marketing | Scoop.it
"

Never show an analytics report to your CXO (In this case, CXO refers to the senior executive in charge. This could be the CEO, COO, CMO, etc.). They don’t care about all the details, and will likely end up asking questions that will simply waste your time. When it comes to your content marketing measurement and ROI, your CXO only cares about three things:

Is the content driving sales?Is the content saving costs?Is the content making our customers happier, thus helping with retention?

If the reports you show the CXO aren’t answering these types of questions, why show them anything at all? Content marketing is all about developing content that maintains or changes a behavior. That’s your focus.

Great Content Meets 2 Criteria: Does Yours?

Great Content Meets 2 Criteria: Does Yours? | Business and Marketing | Scoop.it

“Great content meets two criteria: It’s useful and it’s interesting.”


Great content both informs and entertains. It’s shareable and ranks well.

Stefano Principato's curator insight, June 9, 1:47 AM

If your content at least accomplishes these two goals, it will be more likely to be read, be shared, rank well, get commented on, and inspire customer action.

News Flash: PPC Is Inbound Marketing - Business 2 Community | Business and Marketing | Scoop.it

The industry is all a-buzz today with Rand Fishkin’s announcement that SEOmoz is relaunching and rebranding as simply Moz. They are distancing themselves from their history as an SEO company and positioning themselves as a provider of more general marketing tools, with a focus on “inbound marketing,” the phrase that local Boston company HubSpot and others made (relatively) famous.

 

I couldn’t help but notice that Rand’s blog post explaining the change included a revision of a diagram he had previously used when discussing inbound marketing. Here’s the new diagram, which distinguishes between inbound marketing and “interruption marketing”:
