Content, content, content. Yes, the word ‘content’ is being banded about like some kind of must-have fashion accessory in the world of digital marketing....
...Peppered throughout the pages of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines and blog pages you’ll see frequent references to ‘high-quality content’ which the search behemoth claims will help your site rank better. We all know by now that if Google says something, we should listen!
The question is, what kind of ‘quality’ content do you need for your site? Which of the many, many types is the most user-friendly, which provides the most SEO value and how much time do you have to dedicate to your overall content marketing strategy for each one?... Via Jeff Domansky

PR packs power in the nutritional wholesomeness that is today's marketing smoothie. Today's hybrid PR is blended with the whole -- integrated marketing.Back in the day, public relations, advertising and marketing were firmly divided in their respective silos and disciplines. We in public relations were often referred to for real in jest as the “bastard step children” of marketing.
Often we’d sit in an integrated meeting of the disciplines and keep our traps shut until we tossed out a bit of value-added strategy into the mix while our peers across the aisle glared nicely.Today, the blended nature of marketing has public relations professionals up in arms. Some are balking at the integration of PR so cohesively into marketing. In short, these people are having an identity crisis.... Via Jeff Domansky

Sandra, I think it's interesting to ponder whether PR is only about marketing or whether our other perspectives are being undervalued in today's rush to content marketing and brand journalism.

...not all list posts have to suck! While there are definitely some pretty awful ones out there, you can also find quite a few very valuable, high-quality list posts floating around the internet. So let's not judge a list post by its title. I'm a firm believer that the list post does have a place in the world of high quality blog content.
And to no surprise, this post about lists posts is largely a list post itself. You can be the judge of its quality, but I stand by my beliefs.First, let's talk a little bit about common misconceptions about list posts. Then we'll dive into the characteristics of high quality ones so you can start squashing the myth that all list posts are subpar ... by writing awesome ones!... Via Jeff Domansky

Until the emergence of “Big Data”, data were mainly treated locally in warehouses of several structured databases. Gradually, these data sources became diversified. Analysts are projecting the future of customer data. Several points of attention are highlighted. While most companies collect, store and analyze data, majority of them are struggling with their big project data and are struggling to meet IT challenges associated with the use of this framework.
Newscientis, with Microsoft, released an infographic on how big data techniques seek to gain insight by analyzing large data sets. The proliferation of sources associated with 3V (volume, variety, velocity) have contributed to big data’s recent growth. Data is coming in a growing variety of new and often unstructured forms such as text, video and sensor reading. By 2020, all the digital data created, replicated and consumed per year will reach 40,000 Exabytes. The connected devices including pocket calculators, personnel computer, mobile phones, servers and mainframes and videogame consoles have contributed more than 10 million instructions per second.

How to get the audience to care.
It's not easy for brands to get their message across in a world of highly fragmented media and dangerously short attention spans. The brands that are able to forge connections with their customers are the ones who are the most gifted storytellers. What makes a story good enough to captivate and motivate your audience?
The best stories are designed to get the audience to care.
Stories that start with "why" — that articulate the organization's purpose and passion — are able to get more consumers tuning in to the brand and what it stands for. For instance, Intel's "Sponsors of Tomorrow", Apple's "Think Different", and Google's "Don't Be Evil" taglines helped to articulate their corporate strategy, consequently getting people to care about and subscribe to their brand promise. Nescafe Philippines decided to tap into the strong community spirit of the Filipinos, and articulate that "why" around the passion point of music. This evolved into Nescafe Philippines' "Red Mug Sessions," which served up warm stories and inspiring music over great coffee
