Content marketing

We don’t measure the quality of our work in vanity metrics or pats on the back, and we’re guessing you won’t either. We create content with one goal in mind, to sell.

THE BENEFITS OF content marketing

There is now so much content being produced in every market, your content strategy needs an angle that will grab your audience by the retinas and demand their attention.

With the right content strategy, you’ll see endless benefits, including:

Strategic Storytelling

In the world of marketing, your brand's story is its heartbeat. Content marketing offers the perfect platform to craft and share compelling narratives that resonate with your audience, captivate their attention and establish a meaningful connection.

Audience Engagement and Education

Content marketing seeks to educate, inspire, and engage on a deeper level. By providing insightful and relevant information, you position your brand as an industry authority and a go-to resource for your audience's needs.

Search Engine Visibility

By creating high-quality, SEO-optimised content, you can climb the ranks of search engine results pages and attract organic traffic. Valuable content that answers your audience's questions and fulfils their needs not only drives traffic but also improves your brand's credibility in the eyes of search engines, leading to sustained growth over time.

Lead Generation and Conversion

Content marketing isn't just about sharing information—it's a strategic tool for generating leads and converting them into customers. By crafting content that addresses specific pain points and showcases your solutions, you can attract potential customers who are actively seeking answers.

Key Considerations for content marketing

There is nothing more exhausting than trying to create content from a blank canvas. And there is nothing more expensive than trying to make a noise with mediocrity.

This is why, counterintuitively, one of the most economical decisions you can ever make is to invest in a serious content strategy. One that will not only provide a framework and clarity to those responsible for its execution, but also ensure you reach your audience without breaking the bank with ad spend. 

As part of this content strategy, you’ll need to consider:

Content Framework

Before a pixel is designed or letter typed, we need to ensure there is a clear framework within which all content will be developed. This will define:

  • Subject pillars
  • Format (short form video, long form video, copy, AI image generation, photography, carousel, etc).
  • Channel
  • Objective – which stage of the sales funnel does it correspond to.
  • KPI – how will success be measured.

What’s The Big Idea?

At the front of every great content strategy is a single great idea.

As with brand positioning, this idea should occupy a unique space in the market and have the potential to make a real impact on the buyer.

Not only will this big idea ensure you cut through the sea of vanilla content, but it’ll capture the imaginations of stakeholders, from senior management to influencers, all of whom need to go with you on this journey.

Fuel Every Channel

Which channel matters most to your audience – the search engines? Your website? Email? Social media? Physical literature?

We’re guessing all of them. And if that’s the case, we better make damn sure the content strategy is going to elevate every single one.

This is the paradox about content marketing – it’s a lot easier and cheaper to nail one strategy across the board than it is to produce mediocrity in silos!

Build Your Assets

Of course, you could just focus your budget entirely on paid ads – it would no doubt deliver quick results and for the most part be easy to measure.

However, those measurements would probably tell you one thing – the opportunity was limited, and unlikely to grow. After all, that’s where all your competitor brands are playing and the pounds will only keep coming out as long as you’re shoving them back in.

A content strategy, on the other hand, is an investment. An investment not only in the content itself, which can be repurposed across many channels, many times, but in the assets you own. In particular, your website and email list.

Put it this way, we could turn off our content activity and still see 80% of the return simply through the existing assets – show me a PPC campaign that can offer that kind of ROI!

Under The Influence

We take a great deal of pride in our copywriting, but even we have to admit that there is one source of content that tops the list. And that’s content captured directly from market influencers. Who better to provide your insight than the very people disrupting and shaping the market in question.

Not only will the content be remarkable, but in engaging with these brilliant people we also:

  • Raise the credibility of the brand
  • Extend our reach among our target audience
  • Create direct networking and business development opportunities

It All Begins With The Blog

While all our strategies cover a broad range of channels, we want to ensure that we are developing the two assets the company owns, which are their website content and their email list. For the former, we therefore publish most of our content on the website’s blog, before chopping it up for use across other channels.

On most websites, the key objectives behind blog content are:

  • To grow long tail search traffic to the website
  • To capture email data
  • To aid overall search engine performance

A Picture Paints A Thousand Words

Or more if it’s an infographic!

Whilst the copy may come first, there is no more powerful way to deliver that message than through the right visual.

Whether it’s short form video, original photography or AI generated imagery, our design team will ensure your brand personality is captured beautifully and with impact through the right visual assets.
