CONTENT MARKETING STRATEGY FOR EXECUTIVES

One of my favorite movies of all time is Major League. It’s the story of the woeful Cleveland Indians baseball team making it to the playoffs against all odds. At one point in the movie, Indians manager Lou Brown says to his team, “The local press seems to think that we’d save everyone the time and trouble if we just went out and shot ourselves.” Great motivator, that Lou Brown. Why is this relevant? Every time I look at our latest research, I think about Lou’s line. You see, one of the most surprising insights from this year’s research is about marketers’ level of commitment. Just 21 percent of for-profit content marketers in North America say their organizations are “extremely” committed to content marketing. This is important because according to our research, those 21 percent were also the most strategic, most mature and most successful with their content marketing approaches. Commitment level predicts content marketing success.

5 Areas That CMOs Struggle in Measuring ROI and Where to Focus

whitePaper | October 4, 2022

Gartner has predicted that by next year (2022), profitability will overtake customer experience (CX) as a top strategic priority. This change is part of a longer-term trend. CFOs want rigorous measurement of marketing activities. Metrics like cost per acquisition are at a premium. These metrics are linear and atomic, much like accounting and financial data. This conundrum has led to a plethora of methods and tools to measure marketing effectiveness, and ultimately to optimize the marketing mix. But now this confusing landscape cries out for a more clear-eyed answer of “what’s really working and what’s not?” when it comes to marketing measurement and optimization. The answers are not simple or easy.
