Thanks for joining us for our webinar: Past, Present, and Predictions: Content Marketing from 2017 to 2018. My name is Lizzy Funk and I will be your moderator today. Before we get started, I’d like to go over some housekeeping.
The agenda today will start with a quick overview of the current trends in content marketing and then we’ll get into a panel discussion around what worked, what is working and what will work in content marketing in the coming years.

Before diving into some stats, I want to start with a quick story..
This may feel like forever ago, but it’s not that long ago we browsed for videos like this…
content sorted chronologically (sound familiar?)
Purely on the customer to figure out what they want
Compare that with Netflix - obviously a better experience. But why?
Because self discovery when there’s thousands of options is overwhelming - Netflix figures out what you want
Randy: Yeah, but even that doesn’t always work
How we handle our multiple personas replicate netflix ven diagram experience in the middle
But in all seriousness – not all of us are selling products that fit in vending machines – we need to sell our product or service through thought leadership / content / education
we need our prospects to engage
and irrelevance is killing our chances at success
Agile – terminus + uberflip allows us to launch targeted campaigns quickly and easily – this helps us scale our ABM efforts
Taking a look back at martech trends in 2016:
Martech trends this year:
ABM came out of nowhere
Content marketing is table stakes in 2017
AI is coming up the chart now.. Uberflip + Marketo both launched an AI component in the past few months
2017 trends according to Google Trends:
Lead gen is something
2017 trends according to Google Trends:
ABM & Lead Gen have been battling it out all year
Content marketing continues to dominate, making ABM, something that’s very hot right now in the B2B space, look so small
Uberflip is a cloud-based platform that empowers B2B marketers to create personalized content experiences at scale.
