Nice!
Product
Management
just
created
this
new
eBook!
Hmmm…
I
wonder
where
I
should
publish
it?

14. #Concept2Close
Content
Marke7ng…circa
2012
Create
and
Publish
Content
to
Fulfill
the
Needs
of
an
Integrated
Campaign
Plan

15. #Concept2Close
Step
1:
Define
the
Campaign
What are the objectives
for the campaign (e.g.
how will it be measured)?
Which target markets
will the campaign attempt
to influence?

16. #Concept2Close
Step
2:
Describe
the
Target
Personas
Specifically identify
the different
personas that
influence the
purchase decision
that this campaign
will target
Thoroughly investigate and
document the objectives and
pains that will motivate each
target’s investment in your
product or service
Dig a little deeper
to identify themes
that are top of
mind with each
persona to help
inform both
content and
promotions
Warning:
This
is
the
hard
part!
Without
comple0ng
this
part
of
the
process,
it
was
like
marke0ng
in
the
dark…

17. #Concept2Close
Step
3:
Map
Content
to
Personas
Map specific content assets to
each persona’s questions
(both existing assets and
those that need to be created)
Identify the types
of content that will
help answer each
persona’s
questions during
every phase of
the buying cycle
For assets that need to be
created, assign owners and
due dates to ensure your
campaign will have the
content required to answer
each persona’s questions
