- All of us as marketers today are trying to reach and build relationships with our customers. And just as with people, some companies are better at it than than others. Brands need to evolve in order to reach customers in a way that is compelling and interesting…For instance
- There’s what we call the brand narcissist. I’m sure you’ve all been at a party cornered by the man or woman who does nothing but talk about themselves. It’s only a matter of time before we want nothing to do with them.
- And, then there’s the guy that is so boring that you literally want to run in the other direction as they approach you.
- And then there’s the most interesting man in the world. So the question is, how in a world search and socially driven world do brands become the most interesting brand in the world.
- Well,There are four ways.
- In fact, search engines and social media have become primary ways that people discover information today. In the U.S. alone, there are 18 billion searches each month. And when people find something they like, they share it through their social channels -- 36 billion times each month. So while quality and providing a great experience for your customers is extremely important, it’s also critical that online content is created with search in mind, and that it can easily shared and distributed through social media.Client’s customers are looking for information and they are finding it everyday through Search and Social. If a company doesn’t provide that information to customers and make it available where they are looking for it, those customers will find it elsewhere.
- Content creation ranked as the single most effective SEO tactic – by a significant margin -- in a survey of B2B marketers conducted by Marketing Sherpa
- A content marketing strategy was launched on this health and beauty site in January 2011. The content produced as a result of this marketing effort has enabled the site to rise up the ranks in Google and grow the number of referring keywords from roughly 4,000 to more than 25,000 over the course of a year and a half.
- The right content bridges the gap between what consumers are searching for and what products and services your company providesThis will be a build.
