  6. The Stadium & The Field: The stadium is your Website and online communities — the places that you will draw audiences to — and the field is your brand, upon which your entire organization and marketing campaigns are built.Quarters: The game (technologies, strategies, thought leaders, innovators) is changing so rapidly that your campaign should be planned and updated in quarters. Organizations with static strategies and budgets will become irrelevant.Personnel: Consider the impact of the draft and free agency on a professional football team. Since so much of inbound marketing is driven by content and relationships, the selection and retention of top personnel has never been more essential in marketing.Teamwork: Inbound marketing requires a highly coordinated effort across multiple departments (marketing, PR, HR, legal), and calls on a diverse skill set (strategy, copywriting, design, data analysis, programming, messaging, promotion, relationship building).Commitment: Inbound marketing success does not happen overnight. It requires practice and patience. You need to build reach and strong relationships through social networking, and consistently publish valuable content.Passion: You have to want it more than the other team. It’s that simple. If you don’t, it will show in your products, services and communications. Goals: The end zone was the most obvious reason for the field. Every organization must generate leads and build loyalty to thrive. So, we started in the left end zone with the GamePlan, and then built the objectives and strategies from left to right, driving toward these goals.Objectives: You must measure progress, and adapt based on performance and market changes.Strategy: In football you have offense, defense and special teams. None of them on their own win the game. The same is true for inbound marketing. Brand, Web, Search, Content, Social Media and PR must work in sync to be successful.
  7. Inbound marketing gives organizations and professionals the ability to boost search engine rankings, generate inbound links and drive Website traffic, which are proven lead generators. In addition, inbound marketing strengthens your brand and enhances your thought-leadership positioning, which can have a much greater impact on your long-term growth, stability and success. The most powerful and profitable inbound marketing campaigns will use content and community to build loyalty. To generate this loyalty, you must look beyond prospects, and consider all of your organization’s relevant audiences, including: peers, competitors, suppliers, vendors, partners, mainstream media, social media, job candidates, employees, prospects and customers.
  8. The GamePlan follows a standard marketing-strategy methodology, but concentrates on shifting budgets and resources to more effective and measurable inbound marketing strategies.Our hope is that this eBook serves as a resource for organizations of all sizes to take a more strategic approach to marketing, and tap into the full potential of inbound marketing to generate leads, AND build loyalty.
  9. Your organization's Inbound Marketing GamePlan starts with the discovery phase. In this phase, use customer research, industry and analyst reports, media coverage, historical sales data, competitive intelligence, surveys of key internal personnel and secondary online research to conduct a strategic analysis of audiences, the organization and the industry.The information gathered during this phase is instrumental in the creation of brand messaging, Website development and the campaign strategy. Here is a look at key items to assess:Agency relationshipsBusiness goalsBrand positioning/messagingBudgets and timelinesBuyer personasCompetitorsIndustry trendsPast media coveragePersonnelPricingProducts/servicesMarket segmentsMarketing strategiesSocial media activitySWOT analysisTarget audiencesWebsite analytics

  14. Your Website is a lead-generation and multi-media content publishing tool. It gives your organization the ability to build a strong brand online that creates powerful connections with audiences, and drives business growth.How Does Web Development Fit into Your Strategy?The goal of your site should be to connect with audiences, drive qualified Website traffic and generate leads.It is essential to continually analyze, track and monitor your Website’s success through keyword rankings, inbound links, traffic, referrers, and Website visits by keywords and page popularity, among other metrics.Once your Website design and copywriting are complete, there are significant opportunities to build a more powerful site through search engine optimization (SEO), blogging, social media participation, content marketing, online PR, lead forms, calls to action and landing pages.
  15. We have consistently found that campaigns that focus inbound marketing strategies on achieving the GamePlan’s four core objectives have the greatest potential to generate leads and build loyalty. We highlight each objective in this chapter, and introduce Success Factors that you may consider benchmarking and measuring to continually evaluate and evolve your campaign.
  16. GamePlan Tip: While your entire keyword universe may include thousands of phrases, most organizations should concentrate inbound marketing efforts on the 30 - 50 most relevant keyword phrases, and rely on the long-tail effect to take care of the rest.
  17. GamePlan Tip: Don’t confuse reach with influence. Building followers and friends is meaningless without engagement and action.
  18. GamePlan Tip: Blogging and authentic social media participation are essential to build and enhance thought leadership.
  19. GamePlan Tip: Third-party endorsements of your brand by consumers and media are more important than ever.

We highlight each objective in this chapter, and introduce Success Factors that you may consider benchmarking and measuring to continually evaluate and evolve your campaign.
  21. How Does Search Marketing Fit into Your Strategy?While traditional SEO tactics, such as on-page optimization, are still essential, the true drivers of search rankings are content marketing and social media participation.Organizations have the ability to reach and influence consumers directly at the exact moment they are searching for products, services and knowledge. In essence, they are granting you permission to market to them, but you have to be there, and provide value.
  22. Social media is a lifetime commitment to connecting with your audiences (e.g. customers, prospects, peers, partners) in a more authentic and personal way.How Does Social Media Fit into Your Strategy?YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are brands and platforms, not strategies. Social media is a channel for engagement and sharing, not selling.Social media, when connected to search marketing, content marketing and public relations strategies, can help your organization boost search engine rankings, build relationships, manage and strengthen your brand, and enhance your positioning as a thought leader and innovator.
  23. It requires that you understand your audiences, and continuously publish compelling, multi-media content.Ask yourself: Who are our buyer personas? What are their needs and pain points? What value can we bring to the community? What problems can we solve? What can we publish that is relevant and link-worthy?How Does Content Marketing Fit into Your Strategy?Content marketing is one element of an integrated marketing strategy. It feeds off the strength of your brand, Website, search marketing and social media strategies.Content marketing alone will not generate leads and loyalty, but it will enable your organization to enhance its position as a thought leader and innovator, connect with audiences in a more authentic and personal way, and directly impact your Website’s search engine rankings and traffic.
  24. Public relations reaches and influences every audience that is relevant to your organization, and goes far beyond traditional media relations and publicity.How Does Public Relations Fit into Your Strategy?Public relations is the final, and essential, piece to a comprehensive marketing strategy (Brand, Website, Search, Social, Content, PR). It’s not about making your organization seem more remarkable than it truly is, counting clips and generating impressions; rather it’s about listening to your audiences, sharing your unique story, creating connections, gaining influence, and building loyalty in a measurable and meaningful way.
  25. Traditional marketing budget formulas (e.g. percentage of revenue/assets, competitor benchmarks, etc.) are mostly irrelevant in today’s content-driven and community-based campaigns.Why?Old marketing budget formulas, pushed by traditional agencies and conservative organizations, focus on strategies that pay for interruption and impressions, which means you buy everything, including: advertising space, mailing lists, printing and postage, in addition to agency costs (i.e. commissions, retainers and hourly fees).The basic theory being that if organizations outspend their competition, then they gain market share. The agencies win a few awards for their creative genius, and executives feel good because they see fancy advertising and PR reports with arbitrary data (e.g. impressions, ad equivalency, PR value).Everybody wins. Right?Wrong. Traditional budgeting pays for placement, breeds complacency, and lacks true connections to meaningful metrics such as Website traffic, inbound links, leads and sales.Inbound marketing pays for production and participation, and gives underdogs and innovators the ability to grow faster and smarter by outthinking, not outspending, the competition.
  26. Public relations reaches and influences every audience that is relevant to your organization, and goes far beyond traditional media relations and publicity.How Does Public Relations Fit into Your Strategy?Public relations is the final, and essential, piece to a comprehensive marketing strategy (Brand, Website, Search, Social, Content, PR). It’s not about making your organization seem more remarkable than it truly is, counting clips and generating impressions; rather it’s about listening to your audiences, sharing your unique story, creating connections, gaining influence, and building loyalty in a measurable and meaningful way.

  28. While inbound marketing is all about the “New Rules” of marketing and PR, traditional project-management principles still apply. However, software innovations and mobile applications have made it more efficient than ever to manage to-do lists across multiple departments and organizations, and track milestones.While your organization’s campaign timeline will vary based on objectives, strategies, personnel and budgets, it is essential to have a solid project management system to keep your team on target.Consider an online project management solution that enables you to edit and review campaign activities and timelines anywhere with an Internet connection, including mobile phones.Maintain to-do lists for each major project within your campaign.Demand transparency from your outside agencies in regard to their tactics, timing, pricing and team assignments.Consider realistic turnaround times when building your GamePlan strategies. For example, a case study requires planning, research, copywriting, design and distribution, which can take 3 - 5 weeks to complete based on your team’s capabilities, as well as internal review and approval processes.
  29. Focus on meaningful metrics, monitored and evaluated in real time, that enable your organization to constantly adapt and evolve. As a result, you will experience increased efficiency, improved ROI, more leads and higher levels of loyalty.That’s the promise of inbound marketing.As we discussed in earlier chapters, the only measurements that truly matter are those that directly affect your ability to generate leads and build loyalty.Install Website analytics to enable real-time tracking of traffic, referrers, page views and keywords.Build unique landing pages that enable you to track views and conversion rates for content downloads, event registrations, contact requests and other calls to action. Adjust your campaign strategies based on conversion rates.Track marketing events and milestones, and monitor how they correlate to spikes in Website traffic, inbound links, leads and sales.Assign a team member to monitor Website analytics and social media activity daily. Review and update your campaign strategy monthly.
