Hinweis der Redaktion
Content marketing is the strategic marketing approach of creating and distributing valuable, relevant and consistent content to attract and acquire a clearly defined audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action.
Brand communications have shifted from controlled to chaotic. In the pre-digital world, marketers had the luxury of being able to control most of their customers’ interactions with their brands — through ads, packaging, POS, and carefully solicited PR editorial. But in today’s post-digital era, most of consumers’ information about a brand originates from sources outside of the brand’s control, such as user-generated content, ratings and reviews, or social chatter.
Savvy brands are investing in the convergence of brand and customer experience. Leading firms have identified the critical role a good (or bad) customer experience has on their brand, and they are putting their dollars behind it. Delta invested $3 billion to revamp its customers’ experience not just in the air, but on the ground. This includes better mobile features like being able to rebook a missed or cancelled flight directly in the Delta app, along with better facilities at the gate like comfy seats with plenty of USB and power outlets to go around.
Chief marketing officers must shift from brand management to brand experience. CMOs must shift their organizations from a company-centric view that controls the brand as an asset to a customer-centric mindset that serves to create a more holistic experience across every touchpoint from TV screen to customer service.
Brands are significant quantifiable financial assets. A brand is ultimately a business tool with the potential to create pricing power, market share, and market expansion. The growth in the importance of brand value over the past 30 years is unmistakable. Millward Brown calculated that more than 30% of the market capitalization of S&P 500 companies was derived from the intangible assets of the brand. We have to communicate and unleash that value to the company.
Consumers expect more from brands. Brands today have to work harder than ever to earn technology-empowered consumers' business. A brand must create an emotional connection with customers that goes beyond easily mimicked features and benefits. Forrester's research proves that strong, resonant brands must secure referral — to be recommended by friends and family, be preferred over other brands, and have the ability to command a premium price.
Companies are losing their traditional sources of competitive advantage. The business of building strong brands has become more critical in the age of the customer. No industry is immune from the disruptive force of consumer-empowering technology that is eroding traditional sources of competitive advantage. As competitive barriers like manufacturing strength, distribution power, and information mastery crumble, the only sustainable competitive advantage is knowledge about and engagement with customers.
Understanding how patterns of thinking and behavior are related to health and demand for health care services.
Here's an example: People who strongly disagree with the following statement, "I only go to the doctor if I am really sick or injured" generate between $1,500 and $3,000 more claims per person per year than those people who strongly agree with the statement. These are claims dollars not associated with treating sickness, but treating the propensity to seek care!
About 15% of adults in the U.S. strongly disagree with the statement, and those folks generate at least $4.7 billion in medical spending every year. If the percentage of folks who strongly disagree with the statement increased by 1%, health care costs for the nation would go up about $3.1 billion every year.
There are employees you really need to engage in employee wellness programs, and there are those you do not. Being able to make the distinction betweem the two takes only 20 questions and four minutes. You can literally invest about $3,000 and gain insights into employee behavior that can save you $36,000 or more per year in health benefits costs for the next three years for every 500 employees you have..
