Does Your Content Take the High Road? The 3 E's vs. The 3 C's of Content Mark...David Horne

C's: Criticize. Condemn. Complain
E's. Entertain, Educate, Encourage
Cybercrime is nothing new. What is different now is the intimacy, reach and size of those attacks. There are hundreds of billions in losses each year. This unsettling state of affairs has created a binary world with really only two kinds of companies: those that have been hacked and admit it, and those that have been hacked and don't admit it or don’t know it yet. Worse yet, for the vast majority of individuals, very few of us have been untouched whether we know it or not.
In NTT i³’s book “CyberCrime: Radically Rethinking the Global Threat,” Rich Boyer, Chief Architect for Security and Dr. Kenji Takahashi, VP Product Management for Security examine the current arms race between cybercriminals and their diverse and agile toolkits and the radically new approaches to cybersecurity that the enterprise must adopt to compete and win.

The document summarizes key findings from marketing studies conducted by SiriusDecisions in 2017 regarding B2B buyer behavior and personalization. It finds that B2B organizations often make strategic assumptions without data on buyer behavior. The studies validated that buying behavior is best understood at the persona, journey, and scenario levels. It also found that interaction preferences vary by persona and content preferences vary by buying phase. Most organizations plan to increase personalization investments and view it as more than a buzzword.

Guide: 7 ways to better filter your surveysSurveyMonkey
Filters allow survey respondents to be organized into subsets for focused analysis. Basic filters include filtering by collector, date, question/answer, and demographics. Advanced filtering allows stacking multiple filters to drill down further. Filters also help ensure data quality by filtering out speeders, outliers, and partial responses. Used properly, filters provide clean, meaningful data for accurate insights.
The survey of over 200 B2B marketers found:
1. Important marketing technologies like programmatic advertising, database optimization, and testing/optimization are being underutilized.
2. Insufficient marketing resources and technical know-how are causing missed opportunities from these technologies.
3. Marketers may not be using all the content they have, like repurposing blog posts into other formats.
4. Lack of resources and knowledge are making content production challenging despite its importance.
The survey suggests marketers could improve demand generation ROI by better leveraging existing technologies and content through repurposing, diversifying content types, and addressing skills and resource gaps.
Why Great Customer Service is Worth ItSurveyMonkey
This document discusses using Net Promoter Score (NPS) to track customer loyalty and satisfaction. NPS measures customers on a scale of 0 to 10 based on how likely they would recommend a company. Scores from 0-6 are detractors, 7-8 are passives, and 9-10 are promoters. The overall NPS is a number from -100 to 100 that indicates customer loyalty. Tracking NPS before and after purchases or service can provide insights. Embedding NPS surveys on websites and measuring loyalty across touchpoints can help improve the customer experience. Companies with high NPS grow faster than competitors.
