Hinweis der Redaktion
- Alyssa will take this slide
- Think of my role as a sort of eHarmony for websites. It is my job to look at the relationship between your company and search engines and figure out the best way for you to reach your consumers. In addition to matching you with your target demographic group, I figure out the behavior of those demographics using analytics in order to advertise to them more accurately. For example, You and I might shop in entirely different ways. I prefer to browse on competitor websites and spend large amounts of time researching competitors before I make a purchase. You might go right to the source because a friend recommended a product. There is a campaign strategy for each of these mentalities. Why am I in content marketing? One of the reasons I figure out how people search online is to give them something meaningful to entice them to my clients website. Content marketing provides a wide but specific net to encourage your consumers to visit your site and learn more about your company.

Think of a problem that your consumer base might have, how can you provide them with information to solve it?
- instead of making it something everyone will want to read, make it something specific people will want to read. Don’t be afraid to really dig into what makes your business special, and write something that is engaging and informative. The last thing you want is for someone to get to the end of your blog post and think, that was it? -Another strategy is to write multiple blog posts about the same thing, but from different perspectives. After all, your developer and your graphic designer see the world through different lenses, make sure you give each of them something interesting to read. ----- Meeting Notes (7/29/15 16:41) ----- attention span graph can go here too

- We have been talking a lot of about content marketing listening tools. Success comes with listening and then using that to respond to customers not only with your social media responses, but also with your content marketing and advertising actions. Let keywords, sentiment and insights gained from your reporting help guide your advertising decisions from the channels you use to the creative and copy you apply.
- Use the insights from your listening to determine the kind of emotional and/or utility direction to take.

- We are seeing this shift to a visual language come to life on Facebook. The number of video posts per person has increased 75% globally, and 94% in the US.” –FB Insights, January 2015. Nielsen + Facebook Study: Results show that from the moment a video ad was viewed (even before one second), lift happened across ad recall, brand awareness, and purchase consideration. That means even people who never watched the video, but did see the impression, were still impacted by the ad. And, as expected, lift increased the longer people watch the ad. That data shows that people who watched under three seconds of the video ad created up to 47 percent of the total campaign value, and people who watched for fewer than 10 seconds created up to 74 percent, depending on the metric. That means that while lift continued to increase the longer people watched, people didn’t have to watch a whole video to be affected by the ad. Even video views under 10 seconds effectively build awareness and drive purchase intent.
