5 Ways to Weaponize Mobile Content Marketing via Native Advertising

5 Ways to Weaponize Mobile Content Marketing via Native Advertising | Content Marketing | Scoop.it

The world has gone mobile in a big way and brands are using growth hacking techniques to reach those “on the go” consumers via content marketing and native advertising. According to a recent study released by comScore, mobile app consumers see more digital content than desktop or mobile web surfers, accounting for 52 percent of the time spent using some type of digital media.


Combine that with mobile web, and it accounts for 60 percent of time spent on a small screen.

The only problem with this is that mobile users tend to be cleaning out their inbox and or content they are being pushed, not really reading.

Here Comes the Content Marketing Shakeout | Convince and Conver

Here Comes the Content Marketing Shakeout | Convince and Conver | Content Marketing | Scoop.it

Digest...


Content marketing may be a bigger industry than social media marketing, but the software portion of the industry may always be smaller. Even if content is the parent of social media, there is a lot less money to collectively be made in content marketing software than there is in social media software.

 

Today’s content marketing software is good. Better than it should be at this stage, really. But does a medium-sized business or small business need a software license to help them curate, create, manage, and measure content marketing? Multiple vendors at Content Marketing World 2014 take the “our solution is way better than Excel” approach to pitching their calendaring solution, or similar. And while it may be accurate that Excel is an unlikely candidate for the Beloved Software Hall of Fame, it is also true that every business already has it, has already paid for it, and already knows how to use it.

 

You can buy the best software in the world, but if you don’t have smart, dedicated marketers to operate it, the outcome will be middling, at best. All modern marketing software (of any stripe) requires labor to make the magic happen. That makes the true cost of software ownership not just licensing and training costs, but salaries and benefits, too. It’s another reason why I’m not sure SMB will embrace content marketing with the same fervor as they have social media. Many of those companies have only recently finished swallowing the new software and personnel expenses needed to “get good” at social, and now they are expected to do it again with content marketing?

Content marketing software comes after MAP, analytics, social media management. Why? Because you always have Excel.
