We live in a multiplatform world. Meaning your customers live in a multiplatform world. And they expect information 24/7 – but they aren’t glued to one device. Content lives in many places. Engagement is contextual. And digital isn’t everything. Sometimes, it doesn’t work at all. Heresy? No. Just smart content marketing.
3. This is a kind of chaos. Controlled chaos.
This is where we’ve been for the past decade. At
the starting line.
And now we’re going to stop the chaos.

5. This guy was creating content. He was a storyteller in a marketplace
of storytellers. Hoping others would buy what he was selling

7. Content has never been an island. It has always been married
to a product. Without the product content is meaningless.
So content has ALWAYS been multiplatform.

10. And how many people here agree with this?
@arjunbasu @spafax_arjun #cmworld
11. 90% of the people at this conference come from a digital background.
And a lot of them have put themselves into a silo

12. Content is an ecosystem
It always has been

19. Marketing is a service. All of it is content.
But all content isn’t marketing.
Content is everything
Content is a function of engagements
Engagement is a function of context
And context is a function of strategy.

20. Without strategy content is just stuff
And the world has enough stuff
@arjunbasu @spafax_arjun #cmworld
21. The internet invented a revolutionary and powerful delivery system
But it did not invent content

24. Don’t be the panda
@arjunbasu @spafax_arjun #cmworld
25. So now what? How do we avoid the panda?
“Content first” means structuring content for the audience,
not the device.

Content, in the right context, is ultimately king.

26. Think context. Only think about the end user.
@arjunbasu @spafax_arjun #cmworld
27. This is what we want. To tell the story.
To finish the race.
To create good stuff.
And hopefully we’ll wear some clothes…
@arjunbasu @spafax_arjun #cmworld
28. Take a deep breath
Reach the finish line
(and don’t be a panda)
