AlphaGraphics Cary | CRO Study Design, Printing, and Logistics's insight:

Why Your B2B Content Marketing May Not Be Working - eMarketer

Why Your B2B Content Marketing May Not Be Working - eMarketer | Content Marketing | Scoop.it

Because content creation is a newfound skill for many firms, confidence in the programs and their related key performance indicators (KPIs) is rare. In addition, an overreliance on lead generation as the main KPI for business-to-business (B2B) content marketing efforts has minimized appreciation for more intangible benefits, like thought leadership and brand awareness. Indeed, a true report card for a B2B content marketer must assign value to both tangibles and intangibles—or risk giving too much or too little credit based only on revenue results.

How many people are going to point to a piece of content and say "Hot damn, that's what sold me!" Of course not. Content is a piece of the puzzle, and to measure the ROI of an individual component as opposed to the whole engine makes little sense.

Why Interactives are the Next Big Thing in Content Marketing | Visually Blog

Why Interactives are the Next Big Thing in Content Marketing | Visually Blog | Content Marketing | Scoop.it
Visual content is taking the web by storm. Infographics. Motion graphics. Micro-content. It’s hard to keep track of it all.
AlphaGraphics Cary | CRO Study Design, Printing, and Logistics's insight:

Love this idea of "interactives." The former CMO of McGladrey, Mark Audino, and I had many discussions around how to engage people and inform them. How could we create a tool that would be useful to an executive at a company. This of course was long before "interactives" and even before inforgraphics took off. But the technology is finally here.

Why Your Content Marketing Team Needs A Link Builder

Why Your Content Marketing Team Needs A Link Builder | Content Marketing | Scoop.it
Link building requires very different skills than those needed to create content. Make sure you have these very important capabilities at your disposal.
AlphaGraphics Cary | CRO Study Design, Printing, and Logistics's insight:
