We have been drinking the content marketing cool aid for years. We understand how content attracts traffic, engages and builds trust….and we get it.
Or do we?
There is a conversation we need to have that is often avoided. But before we have that conversation let’s take a little look over our shoulder.
In 2008 I started to notice that the web was changing.
Websites that were online static brochures were challenged by blogs that had great content, started to become visible. These included Hubspot, Mashable and Copyblogger.
Hubspot’s term for content marketing was inbound marketing.
This content was also starting to be powered by social networks that made crowd sourced sharing global, instantaneous and viral.
This content marketing tidal wave driven by a social web was at first just a ripple.

It’s official: Instagram is a beast. According to Sprout, it has over 300 million users (nearly a third of that in the U.S alone) who share over 70 million photos and videos every day. Nearly a quarter of Internet users have an Instagram account. Forrester found that Instagram scores the highest when it comes to brand engagement with a per-follower engagement rate of 4.21%.
The command is clear. If you or your brand isn’t on Instagram yet, it’s high time to do so. But is there a strategic way to gain followers and garner engagement?

There’s a well-worn argument that Twitter’s problem is that it is not appealing to ‘normal people.’ It’s a trope that’s repeated by analysts, journalists and even the company’s own iCEO Jack Dorsey.The natural comparison is to Facebook, which has far larger user numbers and still reports admirable growth. Twitter looks like a niche proposition next to it, an indie band dwarfed by Zuckerberg’s stadium-filling superstars.

“Isn’t that journalism now? Just embedding a bunch of tweets from someone famous or notable and some reactions from normal people?” A friend put that question to me recently and I can’t really disagree with the assessment at first blush.

Since John Deere published The Furrow in 1895, content marketing has been right in front of the consumer eye. Fast-forward to the modern-day search marketing era, and content marketing has exploded. The key challenge for marketers, however, is finding ways to maximize the opportunity and win on the digital content marketing battleground.
It is estimated that by 2020, the digital universe will grow 300 times, from 130 exabytes to 40,000 exabytes. That is 40 trillion gigabytes. This incredible rate of growth will be largely fueled by digital content, search and social marketers. In fact, IBM found that as much as 90 percent of the world’s global data had been produced in just the past two years.

Do you look at Marketing as a cost center or as a revenue center? If you said "cost center," you're missing out on a big opportunity. Don't feel bad, though; for a long time, Marketing has been seen as just that—a necessary but costly part of doing business.
Revenue? How could Marketing actually contribute to that?

A startling 94% of companies claim that personalization is a key component of their success. Meanwhile, 56% of consumers would happily purchase from a company that provides a good – not even great – personalized experience.
Those kinds of statistics aren’t just impressive, they’re actually driving a new form of content development: adaptive content.
This idea is the new kid on the block. For the purpose of this post, we’ll look at it from a twofold perspective. Adaptive content is a combination of:
Using personalization to enhance the customer experience, and
Preparing content for delivery across multiple platforms.
These two facets of the term work together to create a complete, well-rounded experience. By implementing it in your content strategy, you’ll turbo-charge your ability to build awareness, trust and engagement with prospects and existing customers.

On the web, there are few things more discouraging than a big block of text. That's because humans are visual creatures -- we tend to gravitate toward content that is pleasing to the eye, and we're especially drawn to visuals that capture (and keep) our attention.
It's no wonder that 70% of marketers planned to increase their use of visuals in their content marketing this year. Sometimes visuals are just a more effective and creative way to present information, data, or difficult-to-understand concepts. After all, they don't say "a picture is worth a thousand words" for nothing.
Adding visuals is not only a smart way to enhance the quality of your content -- but it's also proven to make your content marketing more effective.
In fact, tweets with images receive 18% more clicks and 150% more retweets, photo posts on Facebook brand pages account for 87% of total interactions, and in a recent study by Demand Gen Report, 86% of buyers expressed some level of desire to access interactive/visual content on demand. If you need even more convincing to incorporate visuals into your content marketing strategy, there are even more stats where those came from.
