"Marketers have access to a lot of digital tools these days. Here's a list of the top tools to use for marketing automation, digital asset management, social media"
"L’impact des visuels sur vos publications est connu. Une image attrayante et pertinente va davantage inciter au clic que le titre ou la description (même s’il ne faut pas négliger ces deux éléments). Une étude récente de Quicksprout vient d’ailleurs confirmer l’importance du visuel sur le taux clic : insérer une image apporte 94% de visibilité supplémentaire. Ce résultat est encore plus impressionnant concernant les tweets, car ceux possédant une photo génèrent 150% de retweets supplémentaires."

" Content marketing is not a simple task. It’s a complex machine with ever-changing rules in a system that’s never static. To try to do everything solo, by hand, is an exercise in futility. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. That’s why there are tools for just about every possible aspect of the industry. Using tools puts you at an advantage; you save time, you’re more responsive, more agile, and you can reach a wider audience. Now, many of the tools I’m about to mention are going to overlap. Some will be narrow, some broad. I’m not trying to tell you to use all of them; I’m just giving you options to explore."
"Let’s be honest: none of us can run a successful blog solely on our own intuition. I know that I have a natural skill for growth hacking, and it’s something I love to do, but that doesn’t mean that I know the answer to every growth problem I face. The truth is, I have a whole tool belt of resources that I use every day for making my sites the best that they can be. I’ve set some personal rules for myself to stay focused, and I stay disciplined to keep on my daily tasks. With that, I want to share those resources here, because I believe that you can benefit from using them just as much as I have—as they’re not really limited to one industry. The secret to good content marketing is being able to ask and answer the right questions, and from there being able to create actionable steps that get you closer to your goals. Each of these tools helps ask a different question, so feel free to explore each of them as you come across new challenges in your daily grind."

"Few events get the creative juices flowing like attending a conference with fellow marketers. Combine that with the creator of Breaking Bad and you’ve definitely got our attention. We already shared a few of the must-see sessions for content marketers at this year’s Eloqua Experience. But the opening evening keynote with Breaking Bad showrunner Vince Gilligan has us especially excited. Not only is he responsible for an award-winning series that I happen to love, but when reexamining the show’s five seasons, the lessons for marketers – especially content marketers – seem to pop out one after another. So we teamed up with Beutler Ink to cook up an infographic for Eloqua Experience. “The Breaking Bad Guide to Storytelling” delves into the techniques and twists employed by the writers, producers and staff to keep the audience tuning in every week…or binge watching on Netflix."

In order to be marketable in any field, you need to sharpen your digital marketing chops. Whether you’re an administrative assistant or a CEO, you can be a better version if you have a basic foundation in web marketing.
I had the pleasure of attending a Guardian Masterclass in London — one specifically about Data Visualization for journalists, designers and marketers. Presented by both an editorial director and an art director, it covered both the story and the graphic design aspects, and the core theme of the course addressed a simple question – does your data tell a story and can you visualize it?
Use a social network like Instagram long enough and you'll inevitably amass a slew of followers -- but what do you actually know about them? If you're relying on mere follower counts, probably not much. That's something the social media analytics company SocialRank is hoping to solve. Following the launch of a free Twitter analytics tool a year ago, the company is today setting its sights on Instagram. After logging in with your Instagram account, SocialRank builds a custom report that lets you do things like sort your followers based on how socially engaged they are, or search their profiles for specific keywords. Not everyone needs to see a statistical breakdown of their followers, but if you're a struggling artist trying to connect with people in your industry, or a parent wondering who exactly is interacting with your kid, SocialRank's tools could be supremely useful.

Raw data is boring and it’s difficult to make sense of it in its natural form. Add visualization to it and you get something that everybody can easily digest. Not only you can make sense of it faster, but you can also observe interesting patterns that wouldn’t be apparent from looking only at stats. To make the tedious task of making beautiful charts and maps easier, I’ve made the list of best tools available for the job. I’ve divided the list into two parts; first covers the tools that require coding and are meant for developers, while the second list contains tools that don’t require any coding.

#Hashtags – I get it, they can be annoying. Or confusing. However, using hashtags and learning how to use them effectively is important for building your brand, growing your targeted followers, and increasing the reach and lifespan of your tweets. Hashtags have several benefits. But I am going to focus on two. Hashtags make your tweets more searchable within Twitter, which leads to more followers.Hashtags grab the attention of your followers, which leads to more engagement.

Marketing has always been a difficult endeavor on social media platforms. It’s not the marketing itself that can be difficult, but rather getting any kind of decent results. The best results are always gained when a social media site is new and still popular amongst people. […] So how do you go about this kind of marketing? This social media marketing guide might help you out.
The “content” part of content marketing is arguably the easiest. Creating content that is useful, insightful and shareable may require some trial and error, and there’s no way to know for sure if something will resonate as intended, but it’s still a singular task. It’s the marketing part that tends to really trip people up, and for good reason. Far too often we focus the majority of our efforts on getting content just right – revising, rewriting, researching, and collaborating until everyone in an organization agrees that it’s ready to publish. But then what? It goes up and you wait…hoping that the people in your existing audience find your content as useful as you planned it to be....
