Contentgine Releases Its First ‘Content Top 5 in 15’ Video Program Starring Robert Rose

Contentgine | February 14, 2022

Content Top 5 in 15
On February 11, Contentgine announced the release of the first video in its groundbreaking series called ‘Contentgine Content Top 5 in 15’. Famous author and content expert Robert Rose of the Content Marketing Institute is the host of the show. This video series consists of Rose’s analysis of the top five most-read content pieces in a particular product category from Contentgine’s big collection of business content consumption data.

The first episode is free and is hosted on the company’s website. It analyzes the top five content pieces in the data analytics product category with case studies written by #SyncFusion, #Sisense, #Atlassian (ChartIO), and #Encorta.

Rose gave some insights into the series and the first program topic- data analytics. He said, "The show is for any demand or content marketer, even though we focus on a particular product category for that show. There is so much information to be gleaned from looking at what makes a piece of content – regardless of category – that we think the fifteen minutes it takes to view the program will prove to be time well-spent for those marketers looking to improve their content consumption and demand generation."

"What struck me about the data analytics space," Rose continued, "was how well-written each content piece was in taking complex ideas and making them easily understood even by folks not having an analytics background. #SiSense, in particular, had two pieces of content in the Top Five, and I think it's a testament to the quality of the writing that went into every piece."

Ian Dix, Chief Marketing Officer for Contentgine, stated: "We think this will be a trailblazing series for demand and content marketers, because no one has had the content consumption data at this scale before. We have it as part of our Perpetual Engine® methodology, and we can offer marketers the first real look at what makes great content great."

"Our next three programs," Dix continued, "will have Robert analyzing the most-read content pieces in the database solutions, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things product categories. We hope our marketing friends get good insights and some "aha" moments ideas from Robert's brilliant analyses."

New RollWorks Data: B2B Revenue Teams Agree that the Lead Is Not Dead, But It's Also Not Enough

PR Newswire | April 25, 2023

Account-based marketing platform RollWorks, a division of NextRoll, today announced new research from B2B sellers and marketers that reveals what's really needed when it comes to B2B revenue generation, including the importance of the lead as part of a broader fit-focused, multi-signal approach. "We'll believe the lead is dead when sales does," said Jodi Cerretani, VP of marketing at RollWorks. "Despite marketing slogans from those seeking to bury the lead, the industry has yet to see a seismic shift where leads aren't still at the core of most marketing and sales strategies. That said, as validated by our findings, focusing on form-fills alone ignores too many potential buyers." Redefining the Lead: Only Bad Leads Are Dead; Leads Are No Longer Synonymous with Form-Fills Revenue teams responding to the survey unanimously believe the lead isn't dead and never will be. 63% of sellers and 56% of marketers say the only dead leads are low quality (poor fit) and 62% of sellers say leads will never become obsolete. Having said that, B2B sellers and marketers indicate that today's lead-related challenges demonstrate the need for a more expansive definition of top-of-funnel. 89% of marketers and sellers say that quality leads are now harder to come by. It's also clear that not all buyers engage equally; 83% of marketers and sellers find it difficult to engage the entire buying committee and 64% don't expect C-suite buyers to fill out forms. A New Top-of-Funnel: Fit Focused + the More Signals, the Merrier While high-fit leads remain important, given the limitations of focusing on form-filling MQLs alone, revenue teams are broadening their definition of top-of-funnel and using multiple signals to create leads. Marketers and sellers have decreased their dependency on form-fills, as other signals like ad clicks and first- and third-party account information have increased in importance. In fact, 87% of marketers are confident they can hit their marketing goals without traditional form-fills, 85% of marketers would pass a high-fit site visitor/ad clicker to sales without a traditional form-fill if they had it, and 81% of sellers would rather be sent a high-fit lead with a few site visits than a low-fit lead with a content form-fill from marketing. Continued Cerretani: "As B2B marketers continue to grapple with resource efficiency, no business can afford to focus exclusively on form-fillers and ignore other signals that identify in-market buyers. The key to modern marketers' success is implementing programs and plays to create and respond to as many categories of signals as possible. Instead of limiting themselves to just driving leads or MQLs that require a form fill, marketers are maximizing the at-bats of their sales organization by driving growth in multiple categories of top-of-funnel signals." The survey, conducted March through April 2023, consulted 850 B2B sales and marketing professionals. Learn more about how RollWorks can also help you implement a fit-focused, multi-signal approach. About RollWorks RollWorks, a division of NextRoll, offers ambitious B2B companies an account-based platform to align their marketing and sales teams and confidently grow revenue. Powered by proprietary data and machine learning, RollWorks' solutions address the needs of organizations large and small — from those with best-in-class ABM programs to those just beginning their exploration.
