The Trouble With Content Marketing

The Trouble With Content Marketing | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

Content marketing is everything. It's nothing. It's substantial like rock. It's fleeting like the wind. It's both sides of the brain in perfect harmony. It's the brand story. It's the value proposition shown, not told. In other words, it's a tactic with an identity crisis.

 

Teeehe Content Marketing Institute itself is proud to stack up no fewer than 21 explanations of this burgeoning field, plus six more definitions on another page on its site. I say this not to ridicule, but to highlight the confusion in the marketplace about content marketing. There's not a broadly agreed-upon definition of the field....

Content marketing has an identity crisis. Here's why (and how to resolve it).

Andrea Rossi's curator insight, March 11, 2016 2:25 AM

Don't you love my great title? 

 

Ok, it's confusing but trust me, this article is not and makes a good job at explaining a simple but often misunderstood truth on content marketing: the intent is important. 

 

Publishing content randomly won't help your brand or company at all. It's publishing content that adds value to your audience and brings it close to your brand or a buying decision.

 

So not all content is created equal.

Orphaned Cats Find New Homes Using Tinder Dating App

Orphaned Cats Find New Homes Using Tinder Dating App | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

Tinder is an online dating app that has been sweeping the world…or should I say swiping the world? The app matches potential partners based mostly on their appearances. Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA) wanted to try their paws at a fun campaign to match some of their orphaned furry friends with potential new owners. How? By creating a profile for some of their cats that had more human names.


VOKRA partnered with ReThink Canada and created several profiles on tinder and started matching with young singles in the area. Of course they played around with them for a bit before confessing that the profile was for the cat, not the human.

Movember Is More About Protecting Masculinity Than Protecting Men

Movember Is More About Protecting Masculinity Than Protecting Men | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it
Remember, remember, the scourge of Movember? We’re halfway through the advocacy month that calls for men to grow the manliest mustaches they can muster to
Deanna Dahlsad's curator insight, November 17, 2015 6:31 PM

"As November babies and gender critics, we take Movember as a personal affront.


There’s a school of thought that says any act in service of a good cause is a good act. So why do we hate Movember? Are we grumpy contrarians and feminist killjoys who hate things precisely because other people love them? Probably, but there are deeper reasons for our Movember naysaying, too. Below, we investigate in conversation."

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

An interesting read about Twitter V. Link Farms (Directories). I theorize the difference is human interaction, hence the bump when Tweets are made with different wording/phrases -- as in, a person read the content and synthesized in order to compose a tweet.

There are many positive and negative comments about how long should be the perfect post, tweet or email subject. In my opinion, the shorter, the better. The shorter information it includes, the better understanding it will have. When i see people who's tweets or Facebook posts are longer than 4 rolls, i just stop reading the. This is a post, not a page of book, don't you think?
