How Tos of An Enterprise Content Marketing Strategy
This article is a little on the dry side for my taste. Dry doesn't mean it is inaccurate. As content marketing becomes an enterpise idea we are seeing a trend of posts about how to control it, how to scheudle greatness. 

Good luck with that. I agree with the concept of thinking strategically about content marketing even as I know the best way to make it pay is to do it, to love sharing your most important and intimate truths.

Sure there is a role for caution and careful planning, but make sure you don't squeeze out the juice you try to drink. Leave some room for "magic happens here" and adopt some of these ideas. Remember you get better at anything BY DOING IT and you become great only when you risk real things, things that can be LOST and can hurt in their losing.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Great scoop by Jeff to share new insight on selling SMM to the C level. Remember to read Made To Stick by the Heath brothers. The other thing to keep in mind is the C level is all about the vision thing. Stay up in the clouds a little. 

Ask your CEO to imagine where your brands will be in five years WITHOUT a strong social presence. Ask if they believe it was helpful, in the company's formative years, to focus and learn new things.

If they answer the first question with some version of the current situation. If they answer question two with a firm NO then RUN don't walk to a new job.

Of course the board of directors will want your CEO to be fretting about the financials and not about the next blog post but Dave Thomas's tips may help you convince them.

The first quant to create an algorithm that can estimate the value of content marketing is going to make a few bucks. The problem is no ONE piece of content or tool is the answer. They all are and that is what makes CEO panic, CFO squirm and SMO look for work :).

I'm with you Marty. Search for the measurement Holy Grail will never end
