What is the #1 mistake that every content marketer makes? In this session of Game Changers, Ross Simmonds is going to dive deep into the biggest content marketing mistakes and how to avoid them. He'll also shed light on accurately measuring the impact of content on revenue and the tactics you need to integrate in your overarching strategy.
Sequel's CEO, Oana recently welcomed Ross Simmonds, founder of Foundation Marketing, to the Game Changers stage. The discussion oriented around the timely and imperative topic of content creation, its strategic distribution, and the significant impact it can wield on businesses.
Ross, an expert in content creation and distribution, laid out the salient issues businesses face today. He pointed out a disconnect many businesses experience; their talent in crafting blog posts, ebooks, and other content often doesn't correlate with successful distribution and promotion strategies. According to Ross, the potential for reaching a larger audience and hence scaling business lies deeply embedded in understanding consumer preferences.
With his vast experience with B2B companies, Ross stressed the importance of determining what content resonates with a specific audience. Focusing on SEO alone, he cautioned, can turn into a trap for businesses. Instead, he advocated taking a holistic approach to content distribution, leveraging multiple channels to ensure maximum reach.
He further expanded the discussion to the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and data analysis in identifying audience preferences. Ross underlined the growing implications of AI, emphasizing how it functionally helps businesses understand what type of content can be the most impactful.
Oana and Ross agreed upon the crucial role of content's impact measurement on revenue growth. They marked content creation not as an expense, but as a strategic investment for businesses. Both leaders further advised on the usefulness of inundating oneself in relevant communities, such as subreddits, and honing the type of content that's already popular within them.
They warned against the common mistake of spreading resources thin across multiple platforms. Instead, they suggested focusing resources on a solitary platform for maximum impact. Reddit's increasing importance in B2B marketing was also examined, highlighting an evolving shift in content marketing strategies.
The conversation left readers with the thought that content creation and distribution are intrinsic aspects of modern business strategy. Focused investment into these areas can potentially generate millions in revenue and significantly propel businesses forward.
